ATLANTA. GEORGIA » Wednesday Morning. May I, 1867. They arc Coming, Father Abraham. It U siatinl In n radical paper that Judge Kel ley, B. Butler, Senators Nyo awl Pomeroy, and other celehritlea, whose names are fhmiUar to the country, have mado arrangements to follow In the footsteps of Henry Wilson, and aid that phi lanthropic and tndy Christian man In building up a Republican party at the South. Congress has passed certain laws by which tho South Is to b« reconstructed. Military commanders havo been appointed to ace that no obstructions aro cast in the way of the work contemplated, and to promptly rebuke, aud, it may be, punish all who all-' /ipi anything of the sort. The people of the South of course accept the condition as the only escape left them from tho social and po litical death with which they aro threatened. They oiler no lactious opposition to that which is deemed inevitable, but generally arc disposed to go along and make tho best of the situation that circumstances will allow. But Just at the very moment when tlfceo encouraging signs be- giu to appear, it seems that the country is to be invaded by hordes ol political missionaries, whose solo aud only object is to divide and dis tract our people* and to build up two antagonis tic parties, the natural tendencies ot wbicli will be to lead to a war oi races. We respcctfrilly submit that these men mean mischief; that their efforts at spcech-makiug cannot, in any possiblo view, result In good, ami must be productive of harm, and harm ouly; aud that they will do more to prevent the work of reconstruction titan all the unregcncratc rebels in the Territories. We always contend lor the largest liberty—for the freedom of speech, of the press, of thought, of expression—but wc think it would not be a bad idea lor tho authorities into whose charge the supervision of tho work of reconstruction has been more particularly committed, to suggest to these ranting and restless agitators that their services on the stump could be dispensed witli in the South at this positive juncture, and that they might better serve themselves, their coun try, and perhaps their God, by subsiding, for a brief season at least, into the valley and shadow of retiracy. If there ever was a period in our history when brawling demagogues and blatant politicians should keep silence, it is right now. In this connection we copy an article below, from the New York Exprens: DKSrERATE AND DEVILISH. Some of the Radicals in tho South are en deavoring not only to win over the negroes to the Republican party, but to excite their passions against tho white people ot the South, by ap pealing to negro cupidity. The mode of address is to tell the treedmen that the lands of their old masters belong to them—that these lands ought to l»c confiscated by the Government and divided among them, anil that the condition of the two races should be altogether changed I This monstrous doctrine of confiscation and of war between the two races, finds numerous advocates amoDg the extreme Radicals North and South. It Is pushed right and left, and its effect is both injurious upon business, crops, people, States, Country, everybody and everything. Such missions as have been undertaken by Senator Wilson, and arranged by Kelley, of Pa., and other Radicals, nre calculated to produce the worst feeling aud tho greatest possible mis chief. Tho avowed object is partisanship, not the good of tho negro, morally or socially, but simply to make a Radical politician out of him. To do this, the old planters, and old merchants, and traders of the South, and the pcoplo them selves, are to lie painted in nil the deformities of oppressors. The negro is to be taught to hate the white man with whom he and his ancestors have lived on terms of good will lor many gene rations. With ail his ignorance and unfitness for the use of the ballot, or for holding office ut^ der it, he is to be thrust iuto places of great re sponsibility. What care such men as Wilson, of Massachusetts, Nye, of Nevada, and Kelley, ot Pennsylvania, for good government or the wel fare of the people in Georgia, the Carolinas, Vir ginia, or any one of the. Southern States! 1 They have the purpose and power to destroy, but none to build up. The nogro being tho more nume rous, and the more ignorant parties, they can, as they hope, appeal to them with effect, and if evil comes to the State, or to society, or to the negro —who, in the end, will be mado a great deal worse by this iulermeddling—they know they will not sutler, in their persons or their property by it Jt Is difficult to conceive of a more pernicious purpose, or more calculated, according to the measure of this influence, to produce worse re sults. But our hope is, that the negro will see his own interests and know his own friends.— When tho war closed the false expectations of sectional men North, made his condition a great deal worse than it is lo-day. He expected a di vision of lauds, houses, everything. To him freedom meant freedom from labor. In this ex pectation he refused in n majority of cases to work. The experience of 1805-00 satisfied him of iiis error, and this spring he is working either for wages or lor a division of profits, and just when his prospects are brightening, when re-son- slruction is accepted as a necessity, when schools are opening, when all signs indicate pleasanter and more prosperous relations betweeu the two races in the future, these political marplots are setting forth upon their selfish and partisan mis sions. We beiievo that in many oi the States, certainly in parts of the States, the negroes will be in sympathy with the wliito people. We havo Been abundant evidence ot this, and it is because of this sympathy and good will that these wretched interlopers are now seeking to break up these relations. No true friend of peaco, public order, or the future good of the country, will countenance this designed mischief. Geuernl Ilaiseau It is stated in some ot the papers that an effort is being made to induce the President to remove General Phil. Sheridan from the command of,the Fifth Military District, and lo appoint General Rosscau in his place. It is also stated that the President seriously contemplates makiug the change. But theugh no doubt it would be a most excellent one, wc do not think it will bo made at present. General bhcridan’s appoint ment was evidently an unfortunate one. lie is the wrong man in the wrong place, and it may be that the appointing power at the national capital meditates the change to which some of the papers Iroin that direction refer. ni Georgia Baptist Convention 3ffiS, We learn through tho Columbus Sun it 1 men ;af. that this body adjourned on “ Monday afternoon to meet in Augusta next year, on the Friday be ■ fore the fourth Sunday of April. The delibera- ft;.! tions of the Convention have been harmonious j and dignified. About one hundred delegates i . have been present, embracing In the number Hji-S; many of the ablest and most talented men of the [A | State. The President, Dr. P. II. Mali, of the T ‘ State University, is a model presiding officer, firm, courteous and conversant witli points of Jill order. His decisions are prompt and eflective. |l|4 prsnoh'os I* 88 'teen of a high order. The !ni‘. hard rain of Sunday night prevented tho ap- L) t point incuts for that evening. The impression it I J conveyed by the body has been most favorable.” Singular Duel.—A singular duel lias recent- , ly taken place at Berliu between a Journeyman [ Yjj silversmith and another artisan. The arms se- s ■ 1 acted were a bottlo of sulphuric acid. The ar- | rangement was thut whichever of the two adrer- I sariea threw the lowest with dice should swallow ’ the fatal phial. Chance favored the silversmith, ’ who immediately poured out a glass of liquor J and banded it to his adversary, who uubesita- ■ tingly drank off the liquid, but to the astonish- > ment of bis antagonist, instead of falling sense- smacked iiis lips and asked ^>r another [glass. The seconds had acted on the sensible idea of substituting arrack for this corrosive fluid, ['The affair terminated in a reconciliation. A Slight Mistake.—A firm desirous of finii- jvsing out the pecuniary status pf a person who jiwlslied to purchase goods, telegraphed tor the Ijtofonnation. The answer came back, “Note 1 for any amount." So a large bill of goods vas sold and shipped. Tbe note came due and vent to protest. The Ann found with disgust i the dispatch should have read, "Not good r any amount” Th« Scene In the Supreme Conn. The National Intelligencer, of the 27th, haa an interesting editorial In referento to the scone in tho Supreme Court on tho occasion of the argu ment of the Georgia Injunction case. It says: 11 A few moments alter tho oponing of the court, the Attorney General arose, and in Impressive, earnest phrase commented on tho momentous importance of the case, and then passed to adis- saetton of tho nature of tho laws complained of, and of tho character and grounds lor an appeal to an equity court. We publish the argument elsewhere, and it speaks for itself as an eminent ly lawyor-llko, exhaustive, and able presentation of bis sido of tho question. Argued on purely technical grounds, lie studiously avoided the solemn question of tho constitutionality of these laws, while insisting, with a force and adroitness which ennnot well l>o surpassed, that tho case was ono oi which the court had uo jurisdiction. The reply oi Mr. O’Couor met, it seemed tons, fully the technical objections ot the Attorney Goncra); but it did more. It showed that the Supreme Court is tho only tribunal to which Stales, as civil corporations, can appeal when their righto ami franchises are-invaded; that by tho very terms of tho Constitution, tho court is bound to protect them in their constitutional rights. Individuals, when wronged, may appeal to the common-law courts. Ordinary corpora tions may appeal to the State tribunals. But sovorelgu Slates, which have agreed that the Supreme Court shall be their tribunal of arbitra tion, are in the position of nations which might agree upon an international high court of ap peals, coming, witli no loss of dignity, to the tribunal which they have clothed with the au thority, to ask that justice might bo done. The objection against political decisions was very forcibly and eloquently disposed of, and the sol emn function of a court to pronouuco the law, leaving it to the Executive to refuse to enforce it, or obey, was most impressively expounded. Washington Gonlp, The Washington correspondent of the Charles ton Courier wrote on the 25th that the President, and indeed all the members of iiis Cabinet, ex press their gratification at the fact, now fixed, that Hie ten excluded Southern Stales aro now hastening to rc-orgnni/.e under the laws, harsh as they are, of Congress. They are hopeful that the representation ot these States in Congress will tavorably affect the temper aud policy of the Radical parly, and that it may soon lend to financial, commercial and political reforms. The snmo writer states that the President said it was necessary tc tame down the military com manders who govern the Provisional States In their several military districts. Their wings must be cut a little, lest they take too high a flight. A law in itself arbitrary, mortifying and vindictive, should be so construed nnd adminis tered as to impose ns little hardship upon those subjected to it as possible. The Executive Governmeut will give close at tention to this subject, nnd probably the action of General Sheridan will be restrained. As to some other of the Generals, little complaint is made from any quarter as to their acts. Tbe wisest regulatious may sometimes lie inconve nient to a (cw individuals in a community, though beneficial to the mass. The President has signified his desire to visit Boston on the 17th of June, the anniversary of the buttle of Bunker Hill. Ifo would also take a trip Southward in May, if possible, lie doubts, however, whether lie can lie relieved from iiis duties here long enougli for either trip. PiioouEss in the Old Dominion—The Uicli- rnoud Examiner of Saturday has this paragraph os developiug tho progress raadoiu Virginia: Senator Bee, of Orunge, who met Wilson, of Massachusetts, on the stump recently, said yes terday, iu the Seuntc, that he was not only in favor of educating the negro as a measure of justice, of liberty, and of safety to the race, blit lie would also vole to admit him in certain eases into the jury box. Senator Robinson said there was no use in “ mincing ” matters, for we must come to it, and Sonutor Cabell thought wc might as well accept the whole tiling at once with a good grace. The same paper has this paragraph: Tbe negro question was thoroughly ventilated iu the Virginia Senate yesterday, and from the utterances of the several gentlemen who voted In tavor ot impartial education, there remains little doubt that the Senate is thoroughly recon structed—and accepts tho situation. Scan. Mao.—It is whispered abroad that the sudden illness of the Empress Eugenie was caused by a pamphlet sent to her, and into France, by Gonzalez Cravo, tbe Spanish Minister of the Interior. Tliij pamphlet, it is said, was full of spiteful revelations concerning the early life of the present Empress of the French; aud was sent out in retaliation for some wicked pamphlets about Queen Isabella, which have lately appeared in France OurNew Purchase.—Owing to the distance, the chief occupation of the delegate from Sitka will consist hi traveling from Bhering Straits to Washington, to draw his mileage, aud carrying the money back witli him. The number of Rad ical politicians who will shortly be on their way to Bberiug's Straits iu the hope of getting this of flee, is expected to double tho population of the territory. Pulaski Countv.—A correspondent of the Macon Telegraph writes Hint a majority of the planters in that county have sown full crops of cotton, and, in many instances, scarcely a third of a crop of corn. From the best information tbe writer can get, a majority of them have not a sufficiency of corn to make their present crops, and only a very few have any- small grain to help them through the summer. Selma, Rome and Dalton Road.—The Rome Courier of the 30th says: .Messrs. Uecil, the lessee, anil Barney, the su perintendent ol this road, were in Rome last week, and represent the prospect ns good for the early completion of this important railroad con nection. There is to be a meeting of tho stock holders, in Selma, on the 15th of May, when it ia expected that present arrangements will bo confirmed and the work move forward at once. Jealousy.—An lowu woman, bccomiiig jeal ous of her husband, came behind him and bent his head back, kissed him, and immediately af terwards emptied a bottle of vitrol in bis face, intending to put out his eyes. She failed in this, but succeeded in burning bis forebead and a por tion of tbe scalp in a shocking mann er. Sensible Conclusion.—Tbe New York Timet says: “ Any sort of political enterprise that aims to use tbe freedmen as a voting class —whether that enterprise is iu the hands of General Wade Hampton or Senator Wilson— will begin in their corruption and end in their political and social destruction.” They do some sensible things at Havana. A recent regulation requires the daily attendance oi a veterinary surgeon at the slaughtei house to inspect every animal brought to be slaugh tered, thus effectually preventing tho sale of un sound meat. This regulation lias long since ob tained all over Europe. The Post Office Department is about to make sate of about six thousand daguerreotypes, am- brotypes, &c., that were sent through the mail, were never called for, and finally got Into the dead letter office. Mrs. Huttkb, wife of nev. E. W. Uutter, of Philadelphia, has been appointed by Gov. Geary Examiner and Inspector of Soldiers! Orphan Schools under the new law. Generous.—A communication in tbe Rome Courier acknowledges the receipt of $62 from Dr. H. H. Clayton, of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, for the relief of the poor of the former place. Mb. Jerome’s private theatricals in New York hare netted tia.OOO for the Southern re- Ueltund. I ’ i w SsBtifioq. It strikes us there Is a good deal of good souse in the suggestions of tiie communication below, which we find in the Mobile TYiimne ol thoSSlh • Mr. BiUtor—Jinny appeals aro being made at tho North and elsewhere, for help for the desti tute South. Tho statements of our deop poverty are not exaggerated; nor will the help lie too abundant. But, after all, oven proper help oft- times becomes a bonus for laxluess, and offers a premium for Incipient mendicancy. Tbe real want ot the Booth lies deeper. Wo need labor for our various classes. Many of our nowspapers reiterate the idea that the-South needs facloriet. But the only kind of factory which seems to present itself before their vision is n great cotton concern, costing some hundred thousand dollars or more. And they constantly urgo the establishment of these, in tho face of the fact that such establishments have been al most always In tbe South, tho ruin of tbe origi nal stockholders. Wo need, in my judgment, the ten thoumnd and one little industrial enterprises, requiring but little original outlay, and capable ot being in- BtrUtgsntT S •rk. Wo occoiiinna)'/ hear of tight times, dull trade, stringency iu tliB money market, &c., among our own people. Bat it seems these embarrassments aro net peculiar to this section, but aro fait to a greater of less extent throughout the oountry, and more especially at the great commercial centers. Tho following, from tho Now York correspondence of tho Charleston Mercury, is Illustrative of tho condition of business matters there! Wall sltcot ginning tho noxl next half dollar to tho capital. They must have a $50,000 concern, and cither make a for tune at once, or go to the dogs. In this city nre multitudes of little boys aud girls who would rojolco in being made of value to themselves, to their (amities, nnd to society, by having something to do. They arc ready to euter witli alacrity upon any systematic labor which gives promise of pay. Cannot some of our citizens establish in this city some one or two of'the industrial pursuits adapted to the youug, nnd thereby give employment to them, to help them up out of poverty, nnd to keep litem, perhaps, from future crime? The Second District. General Sickles has issued a circular explana tory of Order No. 10, previously published. We mnko an extract from the circular, ns follows: Although sonic of the former political relations ol the inhabitants are in abeyance, their private relations, their persons and property, and their remedies for wrougs remain as heretofore, within the cognizance of the local tribunals, and subject to tlio laws of the provisional government hith erto in force, except so far as such laws are in conflict with the Constitution and laws oi the United States, or with tho regulations prescribed by tiie Commanding General. Amongst the consequences necessarily inci dent to tbe military authority established by Congress, and indispensable to the objects for which the authority is established, is the ap pointment and control of the eivll agents by whom, and tiie measures by which tho govern ment ad interim is to be conducted. In tiie ex ercise of this authority, such regulatious and ap pointments will be announced from time to time as may become necessary; and so far as these regulations coucern the ordinary civil relations ot the inhabitants, they will be administered by the courts and by the proper civil officers in the usual course ol procedure. Our Inexhaustible Resources. The Boston Courier throws out this note of warniug: We understand that while there is no doubt of the fact that tliero is a redundancy of paper money, our Banks are really in a very tight place for want ot currency. It is a curious tact that while the aggregate deposits of Hie Boston Banks aro thirty sevon millions and their circulation twenty four millions of dollars, there arc many of them Hint cannot conveniently pay out legal tender notes for a check of twenty thousand dollars. Where is all the paper money Hint has done us such a mischief ? Is thin exhausted too, like so many other of our “Inexhaustible re sources ? ” It is really a serious uiatter, that our Bauks witli such heavy liabilities have so small an amount ot paper or gold to exchange for them. It should awaken the most profound apprehen sions among prudent men, and they must see that the end cannot bo far off. How long can it be, with business so dull as it is, before tbe de posits must be drawn down? Must they not be used in payment of debts or expenses ? How much longer can tho bubble be kept up? Times in East Tennessee—A dispatch from Kuoxville furqishes the following: Tho Loyal Leauge of Blount county, under the lead of Sheriff McConnell and other citizens of Marysville, mobbed the Rev. Mr. Haynes, a minister of the Methodist Church South, ou last Sabbath, and drove him out of Mnrysvlllo.— They then went out of tho town two miles, and broko up a congregation of tho same church while they were assembling for worship. Ne groes were in the mob. The Rev. W. T. Dowell, of the Church North, is charged witli having been present at a League meeting and having instigated Hie mob. Several Union army officers who op posed the mob have been threatened witli violence. Arms for tbe Stato militia have been sent to Marysville, to one ol Hie leaders of tbe mob. Two assaults were made in this city this week on men who have been rebels. The political feeling is bitter ami violent. Tho ariniug of the millta creates intense feel ing nnd dissatisfaction. The company . raised in this city, it is rumored, will be ordered to Sweetwater. The New York Millionaires.—A New York paper gives the following nbout the wealthy men of Gotham: New York boasts of her millionaires, among whom the wealthiest ure set down as follows: William B. Astor is sixty-five yenrs old; wortli fifty millions; a round-faced, pleasant, quiot- mannered gentleman; owns two thousand dwel lings, and is n lenient landlord. A. T. Stewart is sixty, thin, nervous, dignified; worth thirty millions, and liberal in cases ot benevolence whicli appeal to iiis sympathies. George Opdyke, five millions ; fifty, but looks younger; an agree able gentleman. James Gordon Bennett, five millions, sevonty-threc years old, dignified in manner, broad Scotli accent, benevolent to the poor. August Belmont, forty years, coarse, stout, filthy, and very German. Commodore Vander bilt is whitc-buired, red-cheeked, seventy, worth fourteen millions, drives fast horses, keeps a fast boat, controls two fast railroad eompaulcg with fast men, and gives away his money very lav ishly. Tiie Forest City.—We are pleased to find paragraphs like the following in the columns ol our Savannah cotemporaries. This is from tbe Republican of Monday: Within the last few days at least twenty ves sels have entered our port with valuable cargoes of assorted merchandise, thereby assistiug in fill ing up our wharves witli shipping from the Ogeecltee canal to Willink’s, This lact is cer tainly significant, and speaks lor itself. The ef forts that are lieing so energetically made to deepen tiie channel and to remove the obstruc tions in our river, will, when crowned with that success whicli is inevitable, enable the largest class of vessels to come up directly to our docks without lightening or delay of uny kind. The proud rank whicli Savannah occupies among Soifthern commercial cities is destined to be maintained aud increased as the “Empire City.” Modest Merit.—The True Aurora, a news paper published every ten days at Madras, with Oriental modesty thus proclaims its own merits: “ All here is arranged by eloquence; hence our journal ia universally appreciated.” “ These pages, filled with eloquent lines, are altogether comparable to diamonds; each one of these lines is like a chaplet of pearls." “ We trust iu God that ft will be successful, aud will be like the sun which illuminates the whole earth.” It seems to us we have read something like that before, but not so far from home. Freaks ok Trade.—Tho Nsw Yoik Expreit, of the 27th, notes an item worthy of attention. It says: The shipment ol uo less than 40,000 bushels of wheat from Liverpool to New York is noted to day. Two steamers of tiie Inman line, which left Liverpool on tho 6th and 9lli ol April, brought 8,230 bushels; and the City of Baltimore, which arrived on Wednesday, sIbo brought 10,- 000 bushels. The steamship Queen left Liver pool on the lOtij, with 22,261 bushels. These five steamers sailed within seven days. Butler and Bingham.—The Boston Com monwealth, Senator Sumner's orgau, iu alluding to the BuHer-Blngh&m debate in tbe Rump, says: “ Perhaps it would have been as well if Gen. Butler had not said what he did of Mrs. Surratt. But there are tbousauds oi thoughtful people who thiuk he was right. Mr. Bingham did pursue her like a blood-hound.” The citizens of Columbia, 8. C., have sent a delegation to invite the President to visit their city. He will see there how Bill Sherman has smoothed the way for Sherman’s bill. What is the difference between a housewife and an editor? One sets article* to right*, and tha othet writes articles to set BY “TELEGRAPH NEW YORK ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES it Is a good deal flurried by th$ from Europo, but the markets keep pretty steady, all tilings considered.— We still hear a good ileal of talk about a crash being near at hand, but Hie speculators do not pay anv heed to it. So many of the gloomy predictions nmdc dnring Hie post four years re main unfulfilled, that wo cannot wonder at tiie speculators turning a deaf car to new ones. The presence of buyers for tho Spring trade lias caused some activity in the wholesale houses, but this will be over by the 1st of Juue, and it is believed that the Summer months will ho the dullest that New York lias experienced in thirty years. Tho tremendous depreciation of values duriug Hie past six months will tell sharply when tho Full settlements come to ho made. Tho shrinkage in merchandise, stocks, Ac., since last December, cannot bo much short of one hundred millions. Some of our millionaire mer chants have not mado a dollar during tho past veur. I am informed, on good authority, that H. B. Clafiin, whose sales last year exceeded forty- five millions, made a return of seventeen dollars a lew days ago as his income for Hie year. A. T. Stewart, lam told, pays no income tax, and W. B. Astor, whose wealth is fabulous, pays tax on only two or three hundred dollnrs. The col lector of one of the wealthiest districts in the city informed a friend of mine somo dnyB ago that tiie establishments which returned from fif ty to sixty thousand dollars last year, arc making returns or from eight to ten thousand this year. The War In Europe. Tho New York Courier takes a different view from that of its cotemporarics in regard to the condition and tendency of affairs iu Europe, it ys: Napoleon is not being driven to war. Ho is dragging Bismarck into a light, at Hie very mo ment when peace is necessary to Hie consolida tion of the new empire, and throwing the responsibility ol tho war upon his opponent. He knows very well what the result is most like ly to he. He knows his own object. He 1ms drawn Bismarck into a hectoring mood, and adroitly led him to insult France, and arouse her to frenzy. He enters into Hie fight with nn army nowise inferior to that of Germany, cither in numbers or condition, superior in dash and mar tial enthusiasm, and with a navy that will seal up the German ports, coop up German com merce, and cause a stagnation of Qermau in dustry. Ilig object is tiie Rhine as a boundary, Belgium as part of French territory, and Holland as a friendly outpost. Italy dare not enter tiie field against him, ns tho ally of the Teutonic against tho Romance nations, or she will he shorn to the skin. The inattention given by tho Emperor to iiis supposed pet project, the great Exposition, shows that it wns a part of tiie grand plan—a handful of dust thrown in the eyes of Europo. Designed seriously, it has ceased to be ot any value except as a blind, and having done its office, is tossed aside among the lumber of tbe post. Bismarck may yet withdraw from the trap. Otherwise, Austria with Hungary pacified, and her army remodeled will yet have reveuge for tbe incompetency of Bencuck, whose hesitancy lost Sadowa, which was iiis for the taking. The new German empire, where Hie German people have bartered their freedom lor nation ality, is a Jonah's gourd, grown up in a night. It will wilt and dio under Hie smi-rays oi war. Foreign Item.—Tho following paragraph occurs in some of the press dispatches ot the 38th, which did not reach Atlanta: Tiie Paris Preen lias a rumor that Bismarck would resign in consequence of a dificrcnco of opinion between himself and Hie King, tiie latter being unwilling to accept the evacuation of Lux embourg on principle. It was said that Vandcr- goltz would succeed him. Reports were current ot tho arrest of Prussian officers by Hie French authorities at Tlieonville, and tiie arrest of French ofUccrs at Mayeucc, Landau, but were declared unfounded. A circular from tho Frencli War Office fixes tbe price of exemption from military service at 3,000 francs during 1807, and eacli year remain ing at 600 francs. Pickens County.—Tbe Dalilonega Signal of the 27lli brings the gratifying intelligence that all is quiet in Pickens county. It says: Pickens Superior Court was in session Hie drat of this week, and all went olf very quiet, as we learn Irom members ol the bar who were pres ent, notwithstanding the Union Home Guards had an appointment to assemble iu tiie Court House on Tuesday. But tiie presence of Lt. Powell, with a detachment of soldiers from tills place, made them think it expedient to remain quiet,-nnd not attempt to disturb tho action of the Court. We learn from Hie same source that tho wheat crops arc extremely beautiful in that section, and all tiie farmers are hopeful of a bountiful har vest. Cuua.—A change iu the administration of the Government of Culm, is anticipated at Havana. A new officer is to be appointed, who will super sede the three government officials next in rank to the Captain-General, and have full control of all civil matters pertaining to Cuba. A great saving is expketed in government expenses There is a greater Change Hum that awaiting the Queen ot Hie Antilles. The absorptionists have got their cold,glittering eyes fixed upon her,nnd it is only a question of lime. Congressional Hunting Party.—Tiie en listments ior the Congressional buflalo hunting party in Idaho, next June, number Wade, Yates, Chandler, Howard, Patterson, Morrill, Cameron, Poland, among Sennton; and Representatives Covode, Bingham, Williams, Orth, Baldwin, Hooper, McPherson, Lawrence, Marston, and Ketchum. Couldn’t the party be induced to take B. Butler and Henry Wilson along witli them ? Some of tho banks in Boston have been in the habit ot taking receipts instead of notes for loans, by which large amounts were saved on stamps. In one instance a two-ccnt stamp was used where the law required stumps amounting to $250. At Greensville, Conn., a paper mill lias just been erected, which is thought to be Hie largest in the world. It will turn out twenty-live thousand pounds ot printing paper every day. ■ One oi a couple of vessels titled out in New Y'ork for a (filibustering expedition to Mexico, has arrived at Tampico. It is said thut Lew. Wallace is to take command. Bio Mistake.—The idea prevailing among tbe colored people, that “Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us all a farm," and that he’s gwine to do it. Prussia has sent to the French Exhibition a large cannon, each discharge of which will cost a thousand francs and knock over 500 men. Washington Item*. WAttnoiaToN, April 80.—Tho third remittance of $4,780, making a total of $47,000 in gold, was received from California by tho Southern Com mission. Tho Secretary of tho Treasury has issued a circular directing tho Assessors to tax shinplas- tors 10 per cent. Browning and Stanton are sick. Tiie other Secretaries were present at the Cabinet meeting to-day. Internal revenue receipts to-day $400,000. Attorney General Stanberry’s interpretation of the points in tiie reconstruction bill will be read to tho Cabinet to-day. Published statements as to its character are mere speculations. Commodore RliUKgold. New Y'onK, April 80.—Commodore Ringgold was struck with appoplexy to-day. His condi tion is deemed very critical. Duel at Loulevllle. Louisville, April 30.—A duel took place to day between Ike Hanson and Noah Alexander, in whicli the latter received a flesh wound in tbe hip. After four shots the mntter was amicably arranged, BY THE ATLANTIC CABLE. Interesting Foreign Item*. London, April 30.—Parliament resumed iu ses sion yesterday. In tho House of Commons last night, Lord Stanley, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, in reply to an inquiry, stated that the proposition lor a Peaco Congress has been accepted by France and Prussia; and said that tiie Luxembourg affair would be satisfactorily settled. Berlin, April 30.—The Prussian Diet was opened yesterday by the King. In bis speech irom tbe throne, King William said the unity of Germany was an assurance of peace to Europe, and urged a speedy adoption of tbe Constitution. The King was silent in regard to Luxemburg. The Luxemburg Question. London, April 30.—King William, of Prussia, is entirely silent on the Luxemburg question, causing considerable uneasiness in Paris. COMMERCIAL.INTELLIGENCE. BY TKLLQRAPIT.
