Restoring the Seat of Government to
Milledgeville.
As a distinct and independent propo
sition the people of Georgia would
probably never have consented to the
removal of the seat of government from
Milledgeville.—But the measure was
carried by being incorporated in the
new constitution, which was voted
for in its totality. Ever since, a large
portion of the people have been restive
and discontented under an arrangement
which compelled them to submit to laws
enacted in Kimball’s Opera House—
a property originally built for other
purposes, but ill adapted for a State
House—and imposed by a trick and
at an exorbitant juice upon the State.
And now that the building is ascer
tained to be shaky, and grave appre
hensions are entertained that it may
some tine day come tumbling down up
on the heads of our Legislators, the dis
cussion grows animated on the propo
sition to restore the seat of government
to Milledgeville. That city has a strong
claim in equity and good faith,
which the change to Atlanta has
not weakened. It is about the geo
graphical centre of the State, salubri
ous in climate, accessible by railroads
from all quarters. It is free, and would
in all probability continue free, from
undue local influences, rings and com
binations supposed to concentrate in
large cities, and will offer no entice
ments to legislators to delay business,
and neglect duty in favor of personal
pleasuresaud interests. Onthisscore,
we have no special complaiuts to re
cord, or accusations to make, and mean
no disrespect to Atlanta, but reason
simply upon obvious tendencies.—
Augusta Constitutionalist.
Hon. E. W. Beck, lias introduced a
bill in Congress providing for the cre
ation of a new Judicial District in
Georgia, with the Courts to be held in
the city ©f Macon. The dispatch
further states that the bill has -been
favorably considered and will probably
become a law. If it does pass, the
benefitsto the city and the district will
be great. There will follow a hand
some appropriation for public build
ings; peisons in the surrounding coun
ties summoned as witnesses and ju
rors will not have to make long trips
to Savannah; and parties accused of
crime will be tried nearer home, and
in a community where they are known.
If Mr. Beck can secure the passage of
this bill lie will deserve the thanks of
his entire constituency.
The “count Phsrrefond,” as Lou
is, the son ot the late Napoleon III. and
the Emepress Eugenie, is now call
ed, is said to be attentive to his studies
in the military academy at Woolwich,
England. His most intimate compan
ion is the son of Dr. Conneau, the Em
peror*s physician. He, however, not
only goes up to the class and drills
with the other youths of the same
standing in the college, but joins with
them in their amusements. He is a
good athlete, and particularly exbert
at fencing. As he/iot only reads En
glish, but sjieaks it well, lie is enabled
to pursue his studies in our language
to the same extent as other students.
Special privileges are allowed him!
Instead of residing in the college he
has a house of his own outside the wall,
young Conneau living with him. Then
a special bell has been put up in front
of his house to give him notice of drill
hours, etc. He is particularly boy
like in all his deportment.

O-reatness.
The names of distinguished Civil
and Military Rulers have always occu
pied the most conspicuous places in
the World’s History according to the
estimate of the teeming millions of
men. A minority composed of think
ers, would place on the heights of
fame, Socrates above Solon, Cicero
above Ciesar, Humboldt, Voltaire, or
Shakspeare above Napoleon tin- Great.
But with the multitude, the intrigues,
the pageants, the king-craft of Rulers,
and the glory of battlefields constitute
the only titles to endless remembrance.
Of all the great names the latter
half of the eighteenth century devel
oped in America, but one has the cer
tainty of enduring in history “to the
last syllable of recorded time”—that
of the illustrious Pater Palricz, the
great Washington. The second, on the
the roll of American heroes, whose
name will probably be found surviving
the lapse of a few thousands of years,
is that of the seventh President of the
United States, Andrew Jackson.
The third, in this catalogue of Immor
tals, beyoud all question is Abraham
Lincoln the fifteenth of the Presidents
of the United States.
Those of the Southern people who
do not already known the fact, ought
injustice to their own intelligence to
learn that Abraham Lincoln was a
man of vast intellectual power, and
of that personal magnetism not easy
to explain and yet certainly existent
in the atmosphere surrounding all
those great men who have wielded
important agencies in moulding the
world’s history. Like him we may
not, and scarcely can in our genera
tion, his iron grasp having left too
deep an impress on the jugulars of
our strangled South land. But if he
was our foe in his life, we ought, at
least, to abate somewhat of our preju
dice against his memory because the
logic of history,” since his lamentable
assassination shows conclusively that
he was ready to become our friend at
his death, and that we of the South
are far the greatest losers of all
the world by his premature decease,
that oar whole condition in the
Southern States, political, indus
trial and social, would have been on a
far better footing had he completed
peacefully the second term of his Pres
idential Administration. The North
blamed unjustly we know the whole
South with “the deep damnation of
his taking off',” and the harsh terms
of “Reconstruction” followed as a con
sequence. Had Mr. Lincoln lived,
much of the exasperation would have
been averted; Mr. Lincoln’s bound
less popularity would have enabled him
to extend to us terms far better than
those which have since been forced
upon us by Congress; and the bloody
wounds of the War, rankling and yet to
rankle, touched with the magic sur
gery of conciliation and kindness from
his potent hands, would have been
healed long ago. The writer hereof
makes no pretension to uncommon
prescience, but when he heard of the
assassination of President Lincoln by
a telegram to Georgia, he exclaimed
under the first shock, “Alas, that is
the heaviest blow our poor Southland
has suffered yet!” In a moment the
idea of the North’s intensified resent
ment, severer humiliations in store for
us, prolonged punishments to the con
quered States, all flashed before our
vision in swift perspective. Have not
these presentments been more than
realized ? It was the same as if the
Evil Genius of Brutus had stood be
fore him in warning, not at the bat
tle plain of Philippi, but at the very
foot of the statue of Pompey in the
self-same hour of the assassination; the
same, and yet none of the guilt was
ours, as was that <Jf Brutus; none
the South’s.
The tragic death of President Lin
coln rounded off his eventful history
into an immortality it could not have
possessed had he died from natural de
cay peacefully in his bed. It trans
muted the whole strange story of his
life into one of the most marvelous
epics modern times have produced.
With thirty millions of the people of
the United States, it invested him
with instautaneous apotheosis in the
temple,of Liberty; with the hundreds
of millions, all over the civilized globe,
his name became a synonym of re
splendent patriotism as the Deliverer
of his country from such a peril as sel
dom fails to overwhelm even a great
nation, and as the grandest cham
pion of human rights of his country
and his generation. Should we of the
South strive to conceal from ourselves
these facts, or to conceal them from
others, they would nevertheless exist.
It is impossible by ignoring them to
diminish or destroy them.
With these couviction3, we found
ourselves a few months ago in posses
sion of a copy of the recent great
tl Life of Abraham Lincoln" written by
Ward H. Lamon, and published by
Messrs. Osgood & Co., ot Boston. We
have carefully read it, and with an
interest few of the new crop of
books could inspire. If the closing
scene of Mr. Lincoln’s life reads like
some grand tragedy created out of the
poet’s imagination, no less ddtis a tint
of the marvelous overspread all of his
earlier career. This tint is not ficti
tious ; but you see in the narrative
indubitable evidences of truth. For
example, the extreme poverty of his
boyhood and early manhood; the me
nial employment* which Mr. Lincoln
was subjected to, and the invariable
fidelity with which he executed all
tasks; his ungainly, personal appear
ance, his extreme poverty, bis homely
and ill-fitting garb, his early ignor
ance, his thriftless father, his boating
expedition down the Mississippi River
in bis first manhood, and his connexion
with some counterfeit-money transac
tion—nil are truthfully told, beyond
question. Too truthfully, we may add;
for the book has excited some bitter
censure in certain Northern quarters
where a false national vanity would
whitewash all of his faults, and make
his character in early life as cold and
lifeless as the marble which so
abundantly typifies his form at the
capital of the Nation, and in the other
large cities of the North.
Mr. Lamon’s Book brings down
Mr. Lincoln’s history to the first in
auguration only—the 4th of March
18.61. Doubtless he considered that
Mr. Lincoln’s history is, from that
period to his death, nothing less than
the History of the United States.
The account of Mr. Lincoln at his
home in Springfield in 1S60 while the
Chicago Convention was in session
prior to his nomination to the Presi
dential candidacy—his nervous anxie
ty, ill concealed—the emotions caus
ed by news of his success in the con
vention—is admirably told, and the
picture will suit almost equally well,
no doubt, similar aspirants when their
fate is suspended on a hair before
other Presidential Conventions. And
then the account of Mr. Lincoln’s de
parture Irom home—from his cheer
ished aud loving neighbors—is human
and touching in the extreme.
Indeed, strange as it may sound to
say so in the South, Mr. Lincoln was
a man very tender and not a little
ecceutric in much of his emotioual na
ture. He was a mau of profound mel
ancholy at times; and the frequent
coarse aud hilarious anecdotes which
he was wont to fire off indiscrimi
nately and not always in tolerable
taste around him, were as little the
exponents of his sad inner seif as the
never-ceasing fire-works of witty puns
aud pyrotechnics of poetic mirth to
which the bruin of that saddest of ail
men the late Thomas Hood, guve
birth. Wheu Mr. Lincoln in early
life had been crossed in love, he medi
tated suicide for years. Perhaps such
meditations were not diminished by his
marriage with the woman who, as his
widow, has scarcely sustained the
dignity of character due to his great
memory. Taking him altogether,
we are compelled to admit that this
Kentucky boy—child of squalar and
suffering, growing up into a gawky
awkward ignorant “sucker” youth—
a hireling by the day at farm work,
and a rail-splitter for the most meagre
of wages—learning to read and write
not only without help but in spite of
obstacles—and coming up thence into
the high places, and finally filling the
vastest niche in recent American His
tory—we are compelled to admit
that he possessed the attributes of a
hero. Ere we close we qjust record
two of his traits worthy of imitation.—
Patient industry in whatever employ
ment was assigned him, no matter
how menial; and obedience to his par
ents. Still more remarkable, he was
ever kind to his step-mother (a race not
always beloved) so much so that she
was more tenderly attached to him
than to her own children by consan
guinity. We dismiss the book with
the declaration that Lamon’s Life of
Lincoln is the most truthful history
aud the most entertaining romance
we ever saw. W. G. M.
“there is no knowing what a day will
bring forth.”
Curious is’nt it, that just as we
make ourselves believe that a par
ticular thing that troubles us, is
over for awhile, it commences again
with greater vigor, so it was with the
cold. In our last communication, we
said the weather was moderating some
and we were felicitating ourself that
we would now in a short time enjoy
immunity from rheumatism and all the
aches and pains that the cold gave rise
to, but alas, for all our hopes, it had
just let loose to take a better bold,
and ever since the weather has been
cold in earnest which makes us si
for the cheering presence of Spring,
or the balmy breath of Summer. Ex
cuse us if we appear as a young lady
once said “melancholic” for cold
weather and joints stiffened by age,
do not agree so well. So you may
just say good-bye till it gets warmer

BABIES’ FEEDING-BOTTLES 1S00 YEARS
BEFORE CHRIST.
Letter from Colquitt County.
Moultrie, Ga., Jan. 21st, 1873.
Editors Union if Recorder :
Strange things happen often now
in our once happy Republic. Our
quiet little out-of-the-way village was
“broken of her quietness”, as an old
wiregrass friend of mine would say,
aud made to stand on the tip-toe of
expectation as to what would happen
□ext, by the Deputy Marshal with a
small squad of “the boys in blue”,
coming rather unexpectedly into our
village. We mentioned in a previous
communication that the Marshal had
paid us a visit, and from all we could
learn at that time, thought he had
made satisfactory arrangements with
the accused, or at least the come-ata-
ble ones—knew he had carried off one
party—aud had but little idea of this
visit. So ou Wednesday last when the
Marshal, in his buggy followed by a
wagon containing rations and soldiers’
“fixings” and a little squad marching
just in the rear in full uniform, made
their appearance, we will acknowledge
to being a little surprised, to say the
least of it. They pitched their teuts,
and apparently bad come to pay a
long visit. The Marshal let the peo
ple through the country know he was
in the village, and also his purpose,
sending out word for the ones for
whom he had warrants to come in and
give themselves up. Our visitors staid
with us until Friday when they again
took up the line of march for Quit-
man. We understand though that the
Marshal has promised us auother visit
and to bring along with him upon the
next trip a few more of Uncle Sam’s
boys than be had with him this time.
Some say he promised to bring a regi
ment, others one hundred mounted
men. We do not profess to know
anything about the matter for he went
off', and we really were not polite
enough to ask him to call again ; but
from what we can learn he did not
make his arrangements exactly to suit
him aud will come back to finish up.
But to be serious about the matter,
for it is something that is becoming
serious to us of Colquitt—it is we
hold unjust, unfair and—well, very
hard, to say the least of it, to strive to
make a Ku Klux case of this little
drunken frolic of a parcel of wild
boys. We again assert there is :io
such organization in this part* of the
State and we do not believe there is,
such in the whole State of Georgia,
and are well aware that a majority of
those engaged did not, nor do they
know wbat the organization is; but
enough of this for the present. We
will await further developments—
Farmers at the Head.—The cit
ies in the United States grow fai more
rapidly than the country. Young
men flock from the farm to the store,
to make money more rapidly in hoping
trade- But the fanners more than
hold their owu. The census reports
for 1870 show that over 12,500,000
people in our country pursue “gainful
occupations-” Of these nearly 6,000,-
000 are engaged in agriculture, 2,702,-
421 in manufactures, 1,191,238 in
trade and transportation, and 2,084,-
S93 in professions, in domestic service
and laborers. If those are placed a-
mong the day laborers who work by
the day on farms and gardens, as seems
most probable, then the farmers make
up a majority of all “in gainful occupa
tions.” It would be well for the
country if the proportion was larger.
A Motheu’s Influence on the
child.—The schoolmaster sees the
mother’s face dagueneotyped in the
conduct and character of each little
boy and girl. Nay, a chance visitor,
with a quick eye, sees very plainly
which child is daily baptised in the |
tranquil waters of a blessed home,
and which is cradled in violence, and
suckled at the bosom of a storm.
Did you ever look at a little pond
in a sour, dark day in March ? How
sullen the swampy water looked !
The shore pouted at the pond, and the
pond made mouths at the land ; and
how the scraggy trees, cold and bare
armed, scowled over the edge ! But
look at it ou a bright day iu June,
wheu great rounding clouds, all gold
en with suulight, checker the heavens,
and seem like a great flock of sheep
which the good God is tending in that
upland pasture of the sky, and then
how different looks the pond—the
shores all green, the heavens all gay,
and the pond laughs right out and
blesses God. As the heavens over the
water, so a another broods over the
family. March or June, just as she
will.— Theodore Parker.
Only two Christian burials of China
men have occurred in this country.
Mung Mau, who had become esnvert-
ted to the Christian faith, died lately
in San Francisco, and was buried with
Christian rites, bis body to remain in
American soil. All Chinamen, when
they die, are carried back—or rather
their bodies are carried back to the
Celestial empire, as their theory is that
they can go to heaven through no
other gateway but that. But Chinese
women who die in this country are
buried here, as it makes no difference
where they are buried, for they, ac
cording to the Chinaman’s theory,
have no souls. Probably on all the
globe there is no race of women so de
graded as the Chinese; and when this
fact is considered, the low state of their
civilization is not to be wondered at.
In any country the civilization can be
accurately gauged by the status of the
women. It seems the Chinese women
themselves have a better idea of the
life to come than the men have, for
they apparently believe in their own
immortality, as they have a prayer to
the effect that in the next state of ex
istence they may be men, thinking that
the acme of all misery is represented
iu women, and that all women, in
heaven or on earth, are at the same
low ebb as themselves.
Where Bid the X-ich Man Go.
Little Johnny was preparing for
Sunday-school, situated some distance
away, wheu his mother saw one of his
neighbors approaching in his vehicle.
This neighbor, by the way was, called
“the rich man,” being both wealthy,
kind hearted, and liberal to the poor.
Johnny, ran out, and the rich mau
took him into his rohicle, and he was
going right past the Sunday-school. It
was a very hot day, and so Johnny took
of his shoes aud stockings to keep him
self cool. When they arrived, the ex
ercises had already begun, and as the
man was going to church about a mile
beyoud, and had agreed to call for
Johnuy on his return, he concluded
not to put on hia shoes and stockings
again, but leave them in the vehicle.
So he tripped lightly into school, and
the man drove away toward the church.
His teacher was hearing a lesson
which, by the way. Johnny was not
acquainted with, which was the fate
ot the rich man aud poor Lazarus.
Soon after Johnny took his seat it
came to his turn to answer a question.
“Johnny, can you tell me where
the rich man went?”
“He went to (he Baptist meeting
sir,” replied the little lad, thinking on
ly of his late companion.
“No, no my son, the rich man went
to hell,” said the teacher with great
impressiveness, while the other schol
ars were tittering with laughter.
“Did he?” exclaimed the boy iu all
honesty. “ Then he has taken my
shoes and stoekioga with him,” and up
he jumped, and, seizing his hat, he
pat oat of the school-room and dow n
the road to recover his property.
The greater portion of the magnifi
cent collection of the Phoenician anti
quities discovered at Cyprus by Gen.
L. P. de Cesnola, United States con
sul at that place, has arrived, and the
few remaining pieces are on the way,
and will soon be placed on exhibition.
A reporter of the Tribune- called upon
Gen. de Cesnola, who is at present in
this city, aud obtained from him the
following facts in regard to the collec
tion :
It contains no less than 10,000
pieces, illustrative ot the history ol
art, religion, and race, in the island of
Cyprus. These archreological treasures
obtained from the site of the temple of
Golgos and the tombs of Idalium, con
sist of statues, bronzes, heads, vases,
gold ornaments, bas-reliefs, inscrip
tions, vessels of irridescent glass, earth
enware, lamps, infants’ feeding bottles;
the chariots, donkeys, and figures of a
procession, rudely modeled in clay ;
jars and vases, varying in size and or
namented with archaic patterns in
black and red, and many other ob
jects. The statues, &e , are executed,
not in marble, but in a calcareous
stone common in the island of Cyprus.
They were discovered in the temple at
Golgos, ranged on pedestals against
the walls or in rows down the middle.
The great majority of them represent,
either figures of the god Ilerakles (or
Hercules), in one form or another, or
else figures of priests of Aphrodite.
The fresh look of the statues and re
liefs, their perfect condition as to col
or and outline is surprising when it is
considered how long the figures must
have lain buried. The sail, however,
from which they were taken, is a dry
one, and one singularly favorable to
their preservation.
Considered simply as works of art,
they are in general entitled to no very
high rank, yet some of the figures show
great skill. A noticeable feature of
the statues is that they represent the
type of countenance peculiar to the
natives of Cyprus even to this day.
The large eyes, high cheeks, straight
nose, the projecting rounded chin,
and full lips of the Cypriote of to
day are accurately displayed in these
figures. The antiquities from the Ida-
liurn tombs comprise several thousand
smaller objects. Eminent British an
tiquarians are divided as to the date of
the collection, some placing it at 1200,
others 1S00 B. C. Of their high anti
quity, however, there cau be no doubt,
aud great praise is awarded to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art for ob
taining these antiquarian treasures for
the city of New York. The existence
and value of the collection were first
made known to this country by Hi
ram Hitchcock, to whom Gen. de Ces
nola had consigned 63 boxes ef these
antiquities for the purpose of exposing
them to public sight in this city, hop
ing that they would be purchased by
some institution of his native land.
This portion of the collection contain
ed several thousand coins and engraved
gems, as well as a quantity of vases
and other small articles. They were
shipped from Cyprus in June, 1S72,
on board the Napried, a vessel owned
by a Boston firm. The ship caught
fire at sea, however, and the collec
tion was lost.
Gen. de Cesnola then proceeded
from Cyprus to London, bringing a
portion of his collection with him.
While there offers were made to him
by the British Museum, but as this in
stitution refused to his stipulation that
the collection should be kept entire,
and should, in his honor, bear the
name of the “ Cesnola Collection,”
negotiations were broken off. While
the British Museum was thus acting,
John Taylor Johnson, of this city, one
of the trustees of the Metropolitan
Museum of Aart, proposed, in behalf
of that museum, to purchase them lor
$50,000, gold, agreeing also to the
stipulation as to the name they should
bear. This offer was accepted, and
$20,000 of the purchase money has
already been paid, aud the remainder
will be paid in two years. Although
about 200 boxes have been sent to
this country, and there remain 1,000
pieces still in Cyprus, which will be
forwarded immediately. The British
Museum requested the privilege
which was granted, ol taking casts,
copies of all the inscriptions, and pho
tographs of the most important stat
ues. The Lang collection of Cyprian
antiquities, upon which the institu
tion prides itself, merely contains 90
pieces, among which there is only one
statuette entire. The reader will form
some idea of the bulk of the Censola
collection when it is stated that it
took Gen. de Cesnola, with eight pro
fessional packers, seven weeks to pack
only the portion which was in London.
Gen. Cesuola will soon return to Cy
prus, and announces his intention of
making further explorations.

Somebody has been summing up
the fate of kings and emperors num
erically, and if they have had an uneasy
time of it while reigning, their exit
also hasn’t usually been pleasant.
We have no time to verify the state
ment, but it is as follows : Out of
2,540 emperors or kings, over 64 na
tions, 299 were dethroned, 64 abdicated,
20 committed suicide, 11 went mad,
100 died on the battle field, 123 were
made prisoners, 25 were pronounced
martyrs and saints, 151 were assas
sinated, 62 were poisoned, and 108 were
sentenced to death. Total, 963. Who
wouldn’t be a king ?
Louisiana still has two State gov
ernments. It she yrould swap them
both off for a cheap dog and then shoot
the dog she would be much happier
than she is.—Courier-Journal.
