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. The resolution looking to the pur- c ase of Stone Mountain for a Peni tentiary failed in the Senate, For the Union &. Recorder. 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 to An Old Settler. From fbe New York Tribnue, Jan. 13. 7homciaa Antiquities Brought New York. to 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. SPALDING SEMINARY, Macon County, Oa., I S tb« Scbaol t« educate your sans and daugh ters.
