jjaflg |trtc%t»orr. ATLANTA. GEORGIA Tuesday Morning, April a, 1867. Atlanta n«Mral College. Public attention Is invited to the notice which appears in our advertising columns headed as above. To the medical student, especially, the notice will be interesting. Previous to the war the Atlanta Medical Collkob, presided over by an able and zealous Faculty, had become one of the most popular medical institutions of tho South, and bade fair in time to be the peer of the most successful of them all. With the war came suspension of its regular lectures, and it was not till the year that has just passed, that any attempt to renew them was made. lVo arc gratified now iu being able to state that this moat excellent institution is again in a condition to become a valuable auxiliary to the student of medicine and surgery in the South. A glance at the names of its Faculty, ns embraced in the advertisement, will satisfy tho reader of the truth of our averment They arc names known to the medical profession of gentlemen skilled in medical science and surgery; experienced in the practice of their professions; and eminently mwcessful as lecturers, or teachers ot the healing art This Institution offers, loo, one additional,.within sss historical g-enf-mtion, rtiTtfiemedical student which others in the South do not, in that it offers to him a summer course of lectures, and at a point where the salubrity of the atmosphere, and tho health of the climate, are beyond that of any point in the South in which there exists a similar institu tion. We learn with pleasure thnt the coming course of lectures promises to be largely attend ed. They commence on the first Monday in May, and will continue till Angust. Students upon arriving in this city, by calling upon Dr. J. O. Westmoreland, the estimnldc, efficient, and popular Dean of the Faculty, will lie intro duced to excellent boarding houses. See advertisement for further particulars. Sound Advice. The “ Joint Committee on Federal Relations ” of the Louisiana Legislature recently made the following report which the Columbus Sun says " embodies the best, safest, and soundest advice which has emanated from any source, public or private, since the establishment of military rule.” We place it liefore our readers for their calm consideration, and trust that no one of them will rise up from its perusal without being impressed with the wisdom of the advice given, and ot his duly, in the premises. For our own part we adopt the report as embracing the policy which we shall advocate, and endeavor to impress upon the minds of the readers of fhe Intelligencer as the only one now left the Southern States to pursue. We certainly agree with our Columbus eotemporary that the report “ embodies the best, safest, nnd soundest advice which has emanated from any source, public or private, since the es tabiishment of military rule.” The report says: “.The recent action of Congress in the passage of the measure commonly known as the" milita ry reconstruction bill ” and the “ Supplemental bill,” precipitates upon the people the conside ration ot most momentous questions, affecting not merely their present and future welfare, but involving the very political existence of the State. “ It seems evident tlmt active steps will be at once taken for the re-organization ot our State government in accordance with the principles of these measures, and that general elections will la; speedily held for that purpose. “ In this emergency it becomes absolutely ne cessary for the people to determine forthwith what line of conduct is most proper for them to pursue. “ Your Representatives in the General Assem bly imvo not failed to give to tlds question the most anxious and earnest deliberation. “ Tho subject matter is placed beyond the pale of our legislative system, by a power over which we have no control; but wc feel it our duty to give to our constituents the results of our sober and serious reflection, and to advise them as to the course we think they should adopt under the circumstances. “ Whatever may be onr opinions of the justice, magnanimity, or constitutionality of these Con gressional measures, they arc imposed upon us by an authority which wc have clearly no power to resist; nnd wc, therefore, solemnly believe it becomes our duty, not only to abstain from fruitless and factions opposition, but to exert all our power and influence so to direct events as that the least harm may come to the State from their execution. “ We, therefore, exhort the people to organize thoroughly and take an active part iu all elec tions, under whatever authority they may he held. Avoid all semblance of opposition to the free and fair suffrage of every man having the right to vote undqr the authority of Congress. “ Let there be no collisions or conflicts of any kind. “ Avoid discussions amoug yourselves. “ Bring forward as candidates citizens in whose wisdom, discretion and courage you can place implicit confidence, and whose qualifications shall conform, as far as practicable, to the re- quirementii of Congress. Suppress, as far as possible, the consideration of all questions which may lead to division of opinion among you. “ Look to the character of the men whom you elect. " Do not seek to bind them in advance by any particular course of policy, the wisdom and pro priety of which must at last be determined by the ‘ logic of eventsbut leave them free and untramcled to act as their judgments may dic tate, for the interest and honor of the Slate. " Let moderation and temperance guide ycu in counsel and conduct. Restrain and control the ebulitions of inconsiderate, rash and turbulent men, who may precipitate collisions from which nothing hut Injury to the Stntc and people can possibly result. “ Use all fair and legitimate means within your power so to influence and direct the suffrage as to elect trustworthy men to office, and thereby to prevent tire power of the State from falling into unworthy hands; but at the same time be sure that your choice shall be rospocted, nnd that the men so chosen shall bo clothed with authority which none cun question. “ Iu tollowing out the course of action here in dicated you will be called on to exercise a spirit ot extreme tolerance and forbearance; hut we believe it to be the only course consistent with our preseut condition and the safety of the Slate, and you will not hesitate at any sacrifice neces sary to that end. “ In conclusion, we would say that wc place an alilding confidence in the people, and believe that by the exercise of wisdom, prudence and patriot ism, they will so conduct the State through the ordeal as to command the respect of friends nnd foes." nmm mm VilM State* Bonds, United States ten-forties, paying five per cent interest in gold, are quoted at 07+. currency, in Wall street.whiin Massachusetts five per cents are at 00. There la no reason to bo found in the relative responsibility of the two kinds of bonds for any difference in favor of the Massachusetts bonds. On the contrary, if Massachusetts bonds are good, the United States bonds are better, for the reason that all property in Maosachusctts aud every other State is responsible for the payment of United States bonds. In fact, tho bonds of the United States constitute a first mortgage upon ail the property in the State of Massachusetts and every other State. But this is not a question of ability to pay. All tho Stake, os well as the Federal Government, are able to pay the prin cipal and interest of their legal indebtedness in duo time. New York and Pennsylvania, and some other States, pay the Interest on their bonds, but they lost credit by ceasing to pay in terest in gold. The question is often asked, too, why United States 31 x per cent, bonds are os low as seventy- four in tho foreign monoy markets, wlillo Peru vian and Chilian six per ccut. loans were recently nrgotiakxl at ninety or over. Tlio ability of this country to nay its debt is at least ten-lokfgreater than tiiat ot either of tho above-mentioned Gov ernments. Our war at home is over, and we have peace abroad. Other nations, whose bonds ore in better credit, are on the verge either of domestic strife or foreign wnr. The revenue from customs and excises is quite adequate to the payment of the interest upon the debt ol the United States, to the support o( the Government, and for the extinction of the debt tiirre years. NotkiDg is now wanting to bring up the Uni ted States stocks to par but a fixed and settled plan of finance, which shall embrace consolida tion ol tho various public securities, and n per manent sinking fund. During the coming long session of 1867-68 Congress will be able, it is hoped, to deal with that subject in an intelligent manner and in a conservative spirit With the advantage of another year’s experience, of a re vival, perhaps, of business, and of the rchabili tation of the excluded States, Congress will probably be able to mature and adopt a scheme of finance that will place the public credit on a stable foundation.—National Intelligencer. The foregoing article presents in its closing paragraph what wo conceive to be an important suggestion. Let Congress consolidate the various public securities aud establish a permanent sink ing fund during its next session, and with the re habilitation of the excluded States, the restora tion of at least a large share «f their former pro ductiveness which must follow soon their reha bilitation, and the government securities will soon command in the moneyed markets of Europe and the United States a premium over any State or other issues, the rate of interest being equal.— We have heretofore since the close of the wnr advised our readers not to place any reliance in the affirmations of those who were engaged in the business of depreciating tho national cur rency. He who doubts the ability of the gov ernment to finally extinguish its war debt, knows but little of the great resources, and the immense wealth of tlds extended and productive country. The restoration of the “Union” once perfected, the national debt will no longer alarm even the most timid capitalist. Tennessee Items Several months since an affray occurred at Triune, Williamson county, in which a young man named Ryan was shot and killed by a young man named George Walton. Walton was arrested a few days afterwards, or rather lie surrendered ldmsclf, and was bound over to the Circuit Court at Franklin. During last week lie was indicted by the grand jury, and hailed until the next term of the court. While on his way home last Saturday, he was waylaid and killed by a son of the Ryan whom lie had previously killed. The Columbia Herald mentions ns a "singular fact” that Speaker Frierson, of tho Senate, lias adminstcrcd on the estate of every man who lias died in Maury county, south of the river and west of Columia, for tlie last twenty-five years. The Herald thinks lie would be greatly pleased to administer on the effects of a dead Governor, and warns Brownlow accordingly. J. B. Coriiy, who killed Dr. Hunter, near Boyiesvillc, in Washington county, about eight een months ago, and made his escape from the jail in Jonesboro, aud was subsequently arrested in Indiana, and taken back, lias been tried and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary. Tnc Knoxville Commercial learns that the grand jury of Anderson county have found a bill of indictment for murder against Colonel Ashby, nnd that ho was arrested yesterday and taken to Clinton. We have not lenrned any of the particulars further than that it is charged the murder was committed during the war.

According to the message of Governor Geary nearly fifty murders linve been committed Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, within four years, and punishment seems impossible, in con sequence of secret affiliations among the disor derly miners. $180,000,000 is invested in railroads in the Stale of Ohio. Of 29 railroads reporting to the Commissioner of Statistics, 10 made profits and 11 dividends. Most of the railroad property owned outside of the State is held in New York and New England We kind this in the correspondence of an ex change : The largest room iu the world under roof, and unbroken by pillars or other obstruc tions, is at St. Petersburg, Russia. It is 650 feet in length and 150 feet in breadth. By daylight it is used for military displays, and a battalion can conveniently maneuver iu it. In tho even ing it is often converted into a vast ball-room when it is warmed by sixteen prodigious stoves aud 20,000 wax tapers are required to light it properly. Tiie roof of this great structure is single arcli oi iron, the bars on which it rests weighing 12,830,000 pounds. Ad Hem In Couereuloual Proceeding*. We notice in the Baltimore Gazette tiie follow ing item: Senate.—The petition of James L. Seward, member ot Congress elect from Georgia, aud others, was presented and referred to the Com mittee ou the Judiciary. Tiie petition asks tlmt the disability to hold office under the provisions of tho Constitutional Amendment lie removed in their coses. Mr. Hlicrmau, who presented the petition, stated tlmt this could not lie done until the Constitutional Amendment was adopted. Petitions from Georgians to Congress, to he pennitted to hold office are, in our Judgment, un der existing oircumstauces ill-timed, and wc re gret to see that any such have been presented to that body. The Boston Journal, very radical and very malicious, asks, in speaking of the President’s last veto: What is the use to be so particular iu loading and discharging a blank cartridge ? To the Pormer OlUccra of Forred’a Cavalry. Thegentlemen engaged in the preparation of a “ Memoir of Lieutenant General Forrest; his Cavalry and his Campaigns," requests us to an nounce that the work is now rapidly progressing toward completion, and it will have to go to press with incomplete data in the cases of some of the organizations, unless their field, staff and company officers supply the desired information. Any officer of Forrest’s cavalry, of whatever rank, or private, who may have it in his power to furnish complete, or even partial rosters oi re giments, battalions, or single companies; giving also all tho changes, promotions, deaths or re signations, or other noteworthy information per tinent to the matter in hand, is earnestly request ed to so do at once, Tho writers of the “ Me moir " have used every exertion to qualify them selves to do justice to all the organizations at any time serving with General Forest; and should the hook, when it appears, fail in this respect in regard to any particular corps, any division, bri gade, regiment, battalion or company, it will be simply because the proper officers of that corps or command, though often requested, have omit ted to iuraish tiie necessary information. Ad dress Col. J. i J . Pryor, Memphis, Tennessee.— The press throughout the country is requested to notice or copy the above.—Memphis Avalanche. Letter prom Gov. Pickens, 8. C.—The following is an extract from a private letter received by a gentleman in this city from Gov. Pickens, oi South Carolina: You know tiie desolation of our country has ruined us all, and we are in great poverty. God only knows whether we will lie enabled to gather this year’s crop, and tiie policy of the Government forbids all enterprise, and puts it utterly out of our reacii to raise any money now on any terms whatever. We would gladly sell half of our lands for support and ready means, but, of course, no one will purchase with the open threat of universal confiscation standing over our beads, aud want and starvation before thousands oi our people both black and white. Tiie most cruel part of it is, if possible, tiie first suffering cornea upon the helpless black people, who have been innocent of all blame, nnd really have acted as well as any (leople would have done under tho circumstunces. I really think that most men who own land are struggling now to do all they can do for tiie support oi their former faitlitul slaves. I know this is my case, and it is what adds greatly lo my present embarrassment and cramjicd means. Defalcation of an Express Messenger.— Information win received by the police yesterday that one James Clay Potls, messenger ol the Southern Express Company, had absconded from West Point, Mississippi, on tiie Mobile and Ohio Railroad, on the 1.6th mat., taking with him $20,000 in money aud valuables that had been entrusted to him for delivery. Potts is a man about five leet seven inches high, dark hair, cut short, dark eyes aud small black mustache, lie hails from near Grafton, Virginia. A reward of $2,500 is offered tor tho capture of tiie thief and return ol the money, it is thought that Potts will try to make his way Nortli. The police are on the alert, and i( lie comes in this direction it will require all his shrewdness to elude tiie vigi lance ol our lynx-eyed detective*. View* of a Veteran Journalist. Thurlow Weed has resumed the duties of the editorial chair, from which he intended a perma nent withdrawal, and fills nearly five columns of the New York Commercial Advertiser with an "Introductory,’’ reviewing tiie history of the war, also recout legislation in Congress, and con cluding with personal reminiscences. A few de tached paragraphs will indicate sufficiently Die spirit of these lucubrations, as follows -.—Rich mond Whig. We are in the second phase of rebellion— phase, in some of its aspects, more alarming than the first; tor I lie dangers are insidious and plau sihlc, rather than open and defiant. Then wi encountered enemies in the field. Now we are dealing with internal animosities and nmbitious. * * Where are we now? Two years hove liecn used up in disproving what it cost four years to establish, viz : that the Union is indissolu ble. We fought four years to confound the heresy of secession, and now recognize and affirm it as a truth! We called upon Georgia and upon North and South Carolina, aj-Sotoi, to adopt the Constitutional Amendment abolishing slavery, nnd now deny that they were or are States !— And this bald contradiction raises the grave question whether slavery is constitutionally abol ished ; for if they were not States, then tiie amendment did not receive a three-fourths nm jority. * * An honest, earnest public sentiment has been perverted and abused. An American Con gress, during its life-time, lias been governed despotically. Its members named a Directory of Fifteen, in caucus, by whicli it was ruled du ring a session of eight mouths, thus sinking and merging their individuality with their con vie tions nnd their independence. Before the Presi dent hud, by any act, incurred tho just displeasure of Republicans, he was denounced in Congress, as an “ enemy of his country ” nnd a “ traitor." He was arraigned for impeachment before „ committee which, after six weeks’ labor, reports that while no evidence has been discovered sus taining the charges of “ high crimes nnd misde meanors,” yet, to “ keep the ball rolling,” they bequeath the accusation to their successors! * * Ours is a peace without significance aud without fruits, other than of bitterness. Wc of the North have become as exacting and aggres sive after, as Southern men were before the rebellion. For all this evil there is just enough of provo cation to keep the radical leaders in place and power. The persistent, organized opposition of a party, whose action and record during tiie re bellion was disloyal and unpatriotic, is a positive, telling advantage to Messrs. Stevens, Sumner! Butler, Forney <te Co. * * What wo need, and what wc lack, iu the management of public affairs, is patriotism- pot the mere profession of that virtue, but itself, in the form that carried tens of thousands of gallant, devoted men, regardless of self, into the Union army—men who, like Wadsworth, and Shaw, and Van Rensclear, and Howland, left wealth}’, luxurious, happy homes for their coun try. That spirit, in the councils of the nation, would, ere this, have re-adjusted our difficulties, securing lo our country and people permanent peace and restored prosperity, as the legitimate fruits of a sanguinary and protracted war. Tiie Cocoanut 'Waterfall*. We notico the following in the Memphis Ava lanche: We are pleased to learn that the cocoanut waterfalls are meeting with favor in the eyes oi our lady friends, and that one ot our enterprising milliners intends applying lor a patent, to have tho sole benefit of tiie trade for this city. The dangerous 9tyles that have lately been so gener ally adopted, have come well nigh ruining tho craniuma of some ol the loveliest damsels in the country, a fact tor which they could not account until the chignon horrors were made public, but alter careful examination, the secret ol their ter rible sufferings were exposed. This imposition on unsuspecting innocence was a monstrous out rage, and it is a pleasure to us to record our hor ror and detestation of the loul inventor of the late style of waterfalls. Within the last few days we learn that three hundred and Torty- soven have becu committed to the flames in tliis city, and nearly twice that number of tho cocoa- nut style have been ordered. Sensible Negroes.—The Selma Messenger states that on the day of the great Union meet ing in thnt city, an cx-Federal officer, who has a plantation a short distance from that city, called Iiis hands together, numbering about fifty, and explained to them the object and purposes of tiie meeting, nnd advised them not to attend it, ns they would not be benefltted in tiie least. Tiie negroes then, one aud all, decided not to attend, and returned contentedly to their occupations iu the field. Those were sensible negroes, and it would be well ii there were more of them. We linvo always believed that if the negroes were left alone, they would conduct themselves witli more propriety, and would work better. Attend ance at these meetings iu this city, which are generally addressed by a set of sneaking white men, do negroes a great deal of harm. There Is hardly a night but that assemblages oi this kind are held and the negroes addressed. They will soon learn, however, who are their best friends, and we leam that already some of them are be coming disgusted with these pretended white iriends, and refuse to have anytldng lo do with them. Partition of Florida.—The project of an nexing West Florida to Alabama is revived, in the papers at least, and though once refused by Florida, the Peusacoia Observer thinks it "not so certain that tin; people would reject it if referred to them now.’’ Should such a thing take place, the remainder ol Florida would be too Bmall for a State, and we would suggest that tiie Middle and East sections, they consenting, he annexed to and form n part of the State of Georgia. Our railroad ami steamboat liuen have already made os iu many senses one people. What have our Honda Iriends lo Bay iu the matter J—Macon Telegraph. Promt the Richmond KnqnUer. Republican Party at the Sooth. From Nortli and Soutli tbo information corner, that efforts are already ou foot, and are to !m dili gently pressed, tor forming a "Republican” party nt the South, in fellowship with that wbioli do minates tiie Nortli under tiie name name. Some of the Charleston freedmen havo been put upon that track by those who wroto their resolutions; and in North Carolina tho whilom secessionist, who never blushes, announces the same policy in tho followiriff, which wo tnko from tho last Raleigh Standard : "The suggestion of the Salem Observer that tho Unionists of Nortli Carolina henceforth adopt tho name—and wo may add tho organization— of tho Republican party, is well-timed, and meets with our hearty approbation. While wo do not presume to dictate, we would respectfully advise our iriends to at once accommodate their politi cal language to this Important change." The New York Times in on article on tiie sub ject, approves of tho movement for organizing the Republican party in tho South; but it warns the party, that to succeed, it will have to divest itself ol its sectionalism. This is like command ing it to a new birth. Tiie following additional suggestion is very wise, and should he carefully respected: _ “Those who propose to undertake the forma tion of tiie Republican parly in the Southern Slates must, above all lliiugs, avoid anything like setting one class of the people against another, or one race against the other. There is no greater danger nt the present time to the South ttinn this. zers overlook the importance of the negro ; but it should not be treated as separate frail the other vote, and, aliove nil, the blacks should lie discouraged lrom jioliticaUi/ antagoni zing themselves with the dominant race.” But while tiie colored people " should be dis couraged lrom politically antagonizing them selves with the dominant rape,” tiie partisans with whom tiie Times co-operates, will neverthe less devote their special energies lo secure such a result. In lact, they claim the freedmen. They pronounce Beverly Nash a " dangerous fellow,” simply lor teaching in his Columbia speech what the Times teaches in its editorial. They fully calculate that they will have the undivided “ ne gro vote" to start with their scheme ot n “Re publican Party ” in the Soutli. All classes of our population, white and black alike, must unite to defeat this attempt at exci ting the hostility oi races here. Such a collision would be truly lamentable, for it would be big with ruin to the colored population, and disaster to all. Let the colored people take counsel from tiie Times, a Republican newspaper, and resist the efforts of the “ Republican organizers ” to array them as a race in opposition to the whites among whom they dwell. A Coffin Story. A 9tory is going about the London clubs of a candidate for a vacant seat in Parliament. He was walking tbrougli tiie streets of tbe borougli with his attorney when a neutral voter was pointed out. The legal adviser said that the can didate had better tackle the voter at once. “ What is his profession ?” said the candidate. "I am not sure,” wa9 the reply, "but I rather think that he is a trunk maker.” “How do you do, how do you do, my dear sir?" say9 the candidate. “How very fortunate that I have made your acquain tance. Mrs. X. has been traveling about a good deal lately, and has worn out her trunk. Please make me the very best trunk that you possibly can." "I am much flattered by your commands, ’ said the voter, “but I am not a trunk maker.”— "O yes you are," says the candidate. "No, io- indeed, I am not," says the voter. "Then, pray, what are you ?” says the candidate. “If you please, sir, I am a coffin maker.” “O, that will do just as well," said Mr. X., the candi date. “Please make me a coffin: the very best cofflu you possibly can.” Tiie voter said— “Please, sir,you are joking; now I don’t like that.” Sir. X., in reply, “Never was more seri ous in my life.” “ Well,” says tiie voter, “ all is fair in the way of business. But be good enougli to give me a written order.” “ By all manner ot means,” said Mr. X., who at once gave the writ ten order. About a week after a hearse with Illumes and feathers drew up at a comfortable lamily mansion in oneot tiie London parks, and out name a coffin. Tiie servants were horrified, and declined to take tiie dark object indoors.— The undertaker was inexorable. Mr. X. was at dinner; and being interrogated by his servant, desired the coffin to be brought into the house! 1 But where shall we put it said Mrs. X. “ Un der the bed," said Mr. X. To this Mrs. X. de cidedly objected. Soou all the servants came and began to insinuate symptoms of giving warn ing- They could not think of abiding in tiie house witli a cofflu. Mr. X, then ordered it to be laken to his chambers in the Temple. On one ol liis friends asking him wliut lie had done witli his coffin, iie admitted that he had put a whole set of voluminous law reports iuto it. The said candidate is likely to hear more of tiffs when he goes among his newly-forming acquaintance iu the borougli.—Newcastle Chronicle. Mr. George W. Guilds, of the Philadelphia Ledger, in these trying times, is setting an exam ple which some other citizens more wealthy than le is, might gracefully imitate. He gives gener ously to every good cause, only valuing money for the good it enables him to accomplish. Last week he gave $500 to the suffering South—the week before $1,000 to something else—tho week before that $1,000 to tiie Philadelphia Hospital. He is giving away money in good deeds at the rate oi $50,000 per annum. This is noble, but the Ledger can stand it, and more, too, ii neces sary. We wish all our money-making men would imitate Mr. Childs, whose heart is even bigger ttmn his income. In that case the world would be much better, as well its much happier than it is.—N. Express.

Cuylcr, which was detained at New York under sus picion, departed thence under the auspices of the Columbian Government, witli a crew of Con federates. She has sailed for Juinaica witli six torpedo boats, and the suspicion that she is a Chilian privateer is well founded. She will de predate upon Spanish commerce off Porto Rico and Cuba. It is thought that the Columbian Minister at Washington was bamboozled by the Chilian agents. The notorious steamer Meteor is at Callao, and it is suspected tiiat she will become a Peruvian or Chilian privateer. Difficulties between tho Columbiuu President and Congress continue. The Quatamaia revolution is suppressed. Tiie other republics are tranquil, though the European truce is improbable, nor has Mr. Seward’s Wash ington conference proposition been accepted.
