By the ariival of the steamer Jeff. Davis from Augusta yesterday, we received full files of late interior papers, from which we make tke following extracts : Governor Johnson.— The Augusta Cot stitutionalist says: We are permitted to publish the following telegram to a gentleman in this city. Washington, Junq^lh. James Johnson is our Governor. He is a man of ability and you may expect soon to have civil government. lam well, write me Joshua Hill. The Mails. —The Atlanta Intelligencer of vesterday says it has received Nashville and New York papers by mail, and speaks of mail communication being resumed between Atlanta aud New York. Such being the case, may we not hope that Aughsta will soon participate in the advantages of direct mail intercourse with the North and West ? Short. —The Chattanooga Gazette says : In counting the specie of the defuuct Bank of the State, it is disclosed that very many of tiie boxes do not contain the amounts of coin supposed to be iu them. It is doubtful if any of them will hold out. It looks as though the coin custodians in Dixie had taken a percentage for spending money, and bad forgotten to make any note of it. Cavalry. —A fine body of cavalry belong ing to Maj Gen. Wilson’s command passed through the city yesterday. They were well mounted and presented a very superior ap fiearance, the men being generally tall, ath etic looking fellows from the far west. How togo North. —Reaching Allanta you take one of King and Jacksons hacks and go to Cartersville, fifty miles where the cars start at 4A. M., for Chattanooga. The Rail road is in running order to , and the cars ruu down Thursday lGth, but passengers come only to Cartersville. Some ot the way near Marietta, the rails are down, and the bridge across the Chattahoochee is going up slowly ; but we must wait pr >bably a month for the completion of the whole. Fare to Cartersville by wagon $10 —to Chattanooga, $7: to Nashville. sl2; to Louisville, $7,50; to St. Louis, $12,50; about SSO, more than one hundred per cent dearer than betore the war; few passenger cars to Nashville—chief ly boxes with pretty hard seats. Fully Pardoned. —We are gratified to learn by a private telegram received yester day in the city, that Hon- E M. Bruce, late member of the Confederate Congress, hn* been granted the full bene fit of President Johnsons amnesty proclamation. Very certainly this act of forbearance could not have extended to a gentleman of greater worth. Mr. Brace while a “rebel,” was an active and energetic one ; now that he is a citizen of the Union, h? will prove of invalu able use by the exercise of his great energy and admirable business qualities. We are glad to know that henceforth he is to be en rolled among the citizens of Augusta. Duty of the Southern Press —Says the Macon Telegraph; Never before had the Southern press such a painful duty to perform. Identified as it is with th£ interests of the people, rejoicing in their success and sorrowing in their defeat, it has become its duty to recommend a policy which but a few years since it would have condemned, but which it now' thinks honor and interest alike requjre should be speedily and fully adopted. It is not only the honor and interest of the people to adopt this policy, but there is no other alternative left than that of the policy of this government; and that person is blinded to his own interest and happiness who fails to commit himself to that policy, while the press which should re fuse would prove recreant to its trust. Northern Georgia.— l never saw a more complete pile of ruins than now marks the ground where once st&od the business poi tion of the Gate City. Sherman evidently intended that the “gate” he had fought so long and despairingly to open, should net again be closed during th» war. Marietta shared the fate of Atlanta, but one block of buildings being left. Atlanta shows consid erable signs of resuming life; Marietta very little. The opening of the railroad will give anew impetus to both. We found the cars running to Kingston which also looks very much dilapidated. Dalton shows more signs of life and activity than any town we have seen since leaving Macon. There are quite a number of stores, and all seem to be doing a heavy business. The town has been occupied all the time by Union troops, and has been the principal mart of trade for all the people this side the Chattahoochee; since the railroad has been destroyed. The country all the way from Atlanta still shows the marks of the sweep of contending hosts. Fields laid waste, fences torn down or burnt, houses in ruin, and people in pov-. erty, but thank God, now, not in despair. All express themselves highly gratified at the return of peace, ancl faces, which a year ago were* always sad and sorrowful, arc once more assuming the cheerful aspect of old.— Macon Telegraph. Village Charters.— The Macon Telegraph says ; Almost every village in the State has a charter providing for the election of officers iu whose charge the interests of the peop e in that corporation are committed. In many instances these charters have been sleeping amjd the archives of the country. It is tin e now to revive them. The good of the villa gers demand it; and we are pleased to know that the neighboring village of Forsyth has begun the much needed work. On yester day an election was held in that, village for five commissioners, who, according to charter of the town, constitute the municipal authority for the preservation of orde-, amongst the community. Every village as be fore said na»the same means by which they can secure good order. Will they not use them ? PRltfE. 5 CENTS | ot Gg, ABRAHAM UNCOLOff. FOUI.LT ASSASSINATED, APRIL 14, 1865 —IN SCRIP ED TO PUNCH. BY ALICE CART.. No glittering chaplet bronght from other lands: As in his life, this man, in death, Is ours ; His own loved prairies o’er his “gaunt gnarled hands” Have fitly drawn their sheet of Summer flowers i What need hath he now of a tardy crown, His name from mocking jest aud sneer to save? When every ploughman turns his furrow down As soft as though it tell upon his grave. He was a man whose like the world again Shall never sec, to vex with blame or praise; The landmarks that attest his bright, brief reign Are battles, not the pomps of gala-days 1 The grandest leader of the grandest war That ever time In history gave a place; What were the tinsel flattery of a star To snch a breast! or what a ribbon’s graoe ! •Tis to th.’ man, and th’ man’s honest worth, The nation’s loyalty in tears upsprings; Through him the sbli of labor shines henceforth High o’er the silken broideries of kings The mechanism of external forms— The shrifts that courtiers pat their bodies through, Were alien ways to him—his brawny arms Had other work than posturing to do! Bom of the people, well be knew to grasp The wants and wishes of the weak and small; • Therefore we hold him with no Phadowy clasp— Therefore h!s name Is household to us all. Therefore we love him with a love apart From any fawning love of pedigree— His was the royal soul and mind and heart Not the poor outward shows of royalty. Forgive us then, O friends, if we are slow To meet your recognition of his worth— We’re Jealous of the very tears that flow From eyes thauicver loved a humbio hearth. The Laconic Style. As applied to epistles and telegrams this is excellent; A husband telegraphed to his wife, “What have you for breakfist, and bow is baby?” The answer came, “Buckwheat cakes and the measles.” The cheapest telegram ever sent was by an Irishman- Said he to the telegraph operator, “Do you ever charge anybody for the ad dress in a message?’’ “No," replied the op erator. “And do ye chaige for signing his name, sir?’ “No, sir.” “Well, thin, will ye plase send this? I Jist want me brother to know I’m here”—hundinsf the following; “To John McFiinn at New York (signed) Patrick MeFlinn." The message was sent, and no Qtorgc made. Humphreys, the boxer, alter he had con quered Mendoza, the Jew, wrote a friend as follows: “Dear John—l’ve done the Jew. , Yours, T. Humphreys.” Everybody has heard of the famous letters which passed between the adverse chiefs of Sir O'Connell and Tyrone. “Pay me my tribute or if you don’t—r * O’Connell.” ‘T owe you no tribute, and if I did— ONeil,” After Kean’s performance of Abel Drug ger, for his own benefit, at Drury Lana theatre, Mrs. Garrick, with more sincerity than politeness, wrote as follows : “Dear Sir—You can’t play Abel Drugger. Yours, S. Garrick. .To Edmund Kean, Esq." To this the modern Roscius laconically re plied : “Dear Madam—l know it. Yours, E. Kean. To Mrs. Garrick.” The celebrated Foote’s correspondence with his mother is equally pithy: “Dear Sam—l’m in prison. Your loving mother, A. Foote.” “Dear mother—So am I. Your affectionate son, Sam Foote” Three RclkiTfor Readers. —ln the Eng lishman’s Magazine the Dean of Bly lays down the three following rules to those who would become proficients in reading : “First. Finish each word. I use the phrnso in the sense of a watchmaker or jeweller. The dif ference between two articles, which at a lit tle distance took much the same, all lies in the finish. Eich wheel in a watch must be thoroughly finished ; and so each word in the seutcnce must be most completely and carefully pronounced. This will make a reading both pleasant and audible. Careful pronunciation is more important than noise. Some time ago I heard a person make a speech in a large hall; he spoke distinctly, „nd I heard every word; unfortunately, he became warm in his subject, and spoke loudly and energetically, and immediately his speech became an inarticulate noise. Secondly—Do not drop the voice at the end of the sentence. Simple as this rule may seem, it is one most necessary to enforce. If the whole of a sentence oe audible except the conclusion, the passage read becomes discontinuous, a series of intelligible portions interspersed with blanks. Confusion, of necessity, attaches to the whole. Thirdly. Always fead from a lull chest. The reading voice should always be a complete voce di petto; and the chest, which is truly the wind-chest of the human organ, should never be exhausted. This is as important for speaker as for hearers, and for the hearers as for the speaker. The voice is delivered with ease, and b’ecomes agreea ble. Singers know well the importance, in deed the necessity, of taking breath at proper places. The same tbiug is important for jading; in a large building attention to this matter is indispensible.” Little Bobby, of four years, had been lec tured by his aunt on the evils of disobedience to parents, aud the example was shown him of a boy, who disobeyed his mother, went to the river, and got drowned. ■ _ , “Did he die ?" said Bobby, who had given the story due attention. * “Yes," was the serious reply. “What did they do with him?” asked Bobby, after a moment’s reflection. . “Carried him home,” replied the monitor with solemnity. » After tnming the matter over m his mind, it was hoped profitably, he closed the con versation by asking: “Why didn't they chuck him in again ?”
