This commission has held two sessions and ha- made satisfactory progress in the organization and in the inniatory steps necessary for carrying out the pro visions of the act, and for executing also the provision: of the act of June 1,1872. A Centennial Board of Finance, and a preliminary report of the progress made has been received from the President ot tlie comrais . . . - , sion and is heicwith transmitted.

V/e have given up most of our space this week to the President’s Message not because we considered it a very interesting document, but because it has always been our custom to give our readers the message of their Chief Magistrate entire, that they may pre serve it for future reference. Every President’s message is .important to the people, because it is supposed to foreshadow the policy which he de sires to pursue during his administra tion. General Grant has declared that he had no policy, and there does not appear to be any forshadowed in Message. Undoubtedly he in tends to be governed by expediency and to throw the responsibility of run ning tbe machine upon Congress, for, although he likes the honors and emol uments of his office he does not like the labor and the trouble of performing its duties. Generally speaking the present Message is a mere compilation of items and fact Ole Bull.—This name in the mu sical world is one of magic. Eighteen years ago the great Norwegian first came to Milledgeville in the first flush of his American fame as a great vio linist. The assembled taste and beau ty greeted him then in the old Senate Chamber of the Capitol with an en thusiasm as honorable to the taste of the public, and' as gratifying to Ole Bull as was the public demonstration last Thursday. Early in the evening of the 5th inst. the Senate Chamber was thronged with eager and expectant listeners. The performances of Mous. Pattison and Ferranti, and of Miss Ridgway were highly pleasing ; but when tbe great master of the violin appeared, all ears were absorbed by bis won derfully magic tones. He is yet in Ins prime as a great performer, arid those who listened to his strains IS yesys ago say he has improved his powers. Attaining fame in boyhood, he has been known to the world more than a generation, and is yet in plenitude of bis power as the greatest violinist of the world. Fine Kentucky Mules.—Col. Tlios Johnson has some tine Kentucky mules at Arnold’s stables, which he is offer ing for sale on reasonable terms. These mules have all had tlie prevailing dis ease, and are now well and in good condition. See advertisement in this paper. For many years past Col. Johnson has supplied our farmers with mules on the most accommodating terms.— At the close of tlie war when many of them had neither mules nor money, he sold to them on time, and has no cause to regret it—to the credit of our peo ple be it said. The Electoral Vote of fltoorfia. The Georgia Electors split their vote. The Atlanta Constitution re ports that General Benning, Washing ton Poe and Colonel Hudson voted for Greeley for President.

BULL’S Head the following extract of a letter from Mrs. Rivers, wile of Reverend Dr. Rivers, one of the newt learned, eloquent and popular Minister* of the Method ist Episcopal Church, and who is at present stationed at Broadway Church, Louisville, Ky. Louisville, Ky., Oct. 8,1869. Or. John Bull—Dear Sir: Many thanks to you for the medicine you have *o kindly given me. i have been a great sufferer for years, and hud the advice of various physicians. Some pronounced my spine,some iny lungs, and some iny heart to be the -eat of iny dis ease. I have been burnt, blistered and cupped until I had become disheartened. Several very eminent physicians who examined iny spine informed me that I was threatened with paralysis or appnpfoxy au'y day aud that nothing but a *et..n would relieve me. I had a perfect horror of that, and wai b---itatiug about having one inserted, when you kindly sent me your Sarsaparilla which I immediately begun to take three times a day. I had suffered terribly vwih a un.st acute pain in tlie right aide of my head, especially when I would read or write for any length of time, and on rising to my feel I would be pel lectly blind lor several minutes, aud would nave lo hold to sumeUiing to prevent falling. 1 am most happy to inform you that tiie paiu in my head is entirely relieved; I suffer hut sel- n with mr spine and l hen not so acutely. My app "ite is goon ; indeed fur the first time in iny file I enjoy iny dinner mc-ra than any meal during the day. You kindly sent me four butties again last night, aud 1 began again this morning, and 1 hope to be en tirely relieved- Please accept my heartfelt thanks and best wishes. Very truly your most grutefu! friend, M. B. C. Rivers. journal abounds with similar i-tiers, all of which I guarantee to be genuine aud wr.ttea by the persons whose names they bear. Do not suffer yourself to be imposed on. Don't lie drawn away after new and doubtful experiments. Don’t risk your heultli by letting novices experiment upon you with their trssli. .My Sarsaparilla nas stood the test tor twenty-five years ; it is stiff tlie .Sar.-apariHa of the day, and of the age, towering over ali otliera in popularity and its cuiative qualities. Avoideill those who are trying to palm off on you other extracts of Sarsaparilla, so-called. Remember it is Ur- John Bali’s Sarsaparilla, of Louisville, Ky , that i*- tiie old and reliable remedy for impurities of tlie blood and scrofulous affections. Always bear that in mind. Another Testimony. Benton Barracks, Mn-,} April 30, 1866. { Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing'the efficacy of your Satsaparilla, and the healing and beneficial qualities it possesses, I send you the following state ment of my case: I was wounded about two years ago, was taken prisoner and confined for sixteen months. Being moved so often, my wounds have not healed yet. I have not set up a moment since I was wounded. I am shot through the hips. My general heaitli is im paired, aud I need something to as-.*t nature, 1 have more faith in your Sarsaparilla than anything else. [ wish that which is genuine. Please express me half a dozen bottles, and oblige. Cart. C. P. JOHNSON, St. Louis, Mo. P. S.—The following was written April 30th. 1866, by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt. Johnson: Dr John Bull—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. C. S. Johnson, was a skillful surgeon and physician in Cen tral New York, where he died, leaving the above C. P. Johnson to my care. At thirteen years ef age he had a chronic diarrhea and scrofula, for which I gave your Sarsaparilla. It cured him. I have for ten years recommended it to many in New Voik, OIno and Iowa, for scrofula, fever gores, and genera! delili- ty. Perfect success lias attended it. 'J he cures ef fected in some rases of scrofula and frrer sores mere almost miraculous. 1 am veiy anxious for my son to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla. He is fearful of getting a spurious article, hence his writing to you for it. His wounds were terribie, but I believe he will recover. Respectfully, JENNIE JOIINSON; BULL’S WORM DESTROYER.
