Eatonton lias now, within two years, received her second terrible lesson. In 1871, a tire occurred that burned up tit least half of the buildings on the row op posite the front of the Court House. Now everything on that line isswept away, ex cept three new wooden stores, and the blackened walls of the only brick stnic ture on the row—which structure was, years ago, dubbed the ‘ Floyd House," by Gen, Bledsoe, because J. T. Floyd did business in it. About three o’clock this morning Mr. Phil. Sanford, who boards at the Eaton ton Hotel, was waked up by an explosion. Springing out of bed he attempted to dis cover where the noise originated. He soon discovered that it was not in tho house. I and looking out he saw a stream of fire I issuing from the front door of Mr. Mar tin's store. He roused Mr. M., who boards at tho same house. Mr. M., on hastening to his place of business, found tho front door shutters off and out on the sidewalk bavin" evidently been forced from the inside, either by the explosion or in some otlier wav. He informs us that there was a can of kerosene and some powder, in tlie rear of his store, hut nothing of tho kind iu the front. The question arises how were the front doors forced open? He says he went into liis store about 12 o'clock at night, and got some apples for some young companions wlio wore in liis 100m at the hotel, but did not make a light at all, as lie was well enough acquainted with bis premises to get what he wanted in the dark Nobody can doubt Mr. Martin “ statement, for, though a young man, U cook cautions and reliable Martin's store stood about the middle of the row. Although a little rain was falling the flames had such a bold etait that they were beyond control. It was a time of night when, of course everybody was asleep. People were aroused very Eatonton has no lire company, The following from a small paper en titled “The Spirit of Truth." published in Atlanta, is laid before our readers, as •food for reflection', without comment: PUBLIC MORALITY.—GAMBLING. In view of the startling fact, that Churches, generally, sanction the princi pie and practice of g:imbling, in raising money by raffle, cliuckluck, etc., and many of the Newspapers, by Grand Schemes, offering a variety of prizes of various values—awarded to subscribers! by lot tery. I would suggest to the Legislature of Georgia, the propriety of making these proceedings penal offenses, by ex press enactment, or else repeal all laws whatever against gambling. So long as the Churches and News papers, whose influence largely creates public sentiment, are suffered to gamble w ith impunity, under specious forms, it is not fair and equal to punish as crimin als, those who “play and bet for money or other tiling of value, at any game of faro, loo, brag, bluff, three up, seven up. poker, vingtun, euclire, whist, three card monte, sixty six, sell pitch, or any other game played with cards, or tit nine pins, ten pins, or other number of pins, or at any E. O. table, ABC table, billiard ta ble, pool table, or at any other table of like ehuiacter, or at roulette, keno,chuck- luck, or rouge et noil’." To command respect and have a salu tary influence, laws must be founded in justice and good policy, and be impartial and general in their application. And whilst it is also tine, that certain and uniform execution of its laws, con stitutes tho great bulwark of society, it is nevertheless very essential, indeed, to peaceful, permanent good government, that, in matters of crime, and public im moralities, there should exist no class ex emptions. “Fail - play" is the brightest “jewel" that radiates from the helm of Govern ment, or glitters in the crown of Honor, won by the worthy citizen. “The gamblers, so stigmatized, will continue to multiply, and never feel asham ed of their ruinous livelihood, abandon tlie same, and pursue praiseworthy voea lions, so long as public opinion allows •■the money changers” to play chnckluck for holy purposes. Algerian Hash. Our party to witness the exhibition con sisted of some twenty Englishmen, and with them a few ladies. After a lung walk through the old town of Algiers, we, were shown into a Moorish house, in the piadrangle of which, open to the sky, were a number of Arabs seated on the floor in the centre, singing, as in their nature, a most monotonous chant to the accompaniment of a big drum. In a bal cony above, and looking down in the court, were the Moorish women, most of them entirely vailed, with the exception of their lustrous black eyes, which flushed into unusual brilliancy in the light of the numerous flambeaux with which tlie court was illumined. Tlie effect was remarkable and not easi ly to be forgotten. The faces of the Arabs, some of them magnificent looking men, md excited by the music, tlie lights, the delicately carved marble pilasters, sup porting the gallery, and over all tho star- studded, dark blue sky, forming an im pressive contrast to the noise and tumult beneath, made an extraordinary picture which no canvas could accurately convey to the mind. Presently, with a howl like a wild beast, a man rushes forward, anil, standing over a pot of incenses, commenced to sway his body in union with the music. Gradually, to all appearance, becoming more and more excited, lie at last rushed at one of his companions, and seizin, about half a window pane of glass from him, proceeded to eat it with great relish, crushing it between his teeth, and ovi- dentlv swallowing tho whole. Then an SEND FOR MOTHER. “Dear me ! it wasn't enough for me to nurse and raise a family of my own. but now when I'm old, and expect to have a little comfort here, it is all the time ■Send for mother.’" And the dear old soul growls and grumbles, but dresses herself as fast as she can. notwithstand ing. After you have trotted her off' and got her safely iu your home, and she flies around, administering remedies and re bukes by turns, you feel easier. It s right now or soon will be—mother's come! In sickness, no matter who is there or how many doctors quarrel over your case, everything goes wrong, somehow, till you send for mother. In trouble, the lirst thing you think of is to send for mother. But this has its ludicrous ns well us its touching aspects. The verdant young couple, to whom baby's extraordinary grimaces and alarming yawns, which threaten the dislocation of its chin, its wonderful sleep, which it accomplishes with its eyes half open anil no percepti ble flutter of breath on its lips, eausin, The Falls of thcVosemile The Valley of tlie Yosemite is unparal leled in the number, beauty and grandeur of its falls. The Bridal Vail passes, from a height of six hundred feet, into a rocky basin, and thence, in a series of cascades, three hundred feet more to the bottom of tlie valley, where it soon joins the Mer ced. Tliis fall, before it reaches the end of its descent, is transformed into silvery spray, which flutters and sways in the wind like delicate lace. The Yosemite fall has a descent of 2,800 feet divided into two leaps, the first resting in a basin apparently a mere ledge of rock yet really fifteen acres in extent. During tlie summer and Autumn both the Bridal Vail and the Yosemite falls are mere thread of streams, remarkable only for their great height. But during tlie wet season they swell into torrents, and then become truly magnifi cent. The latter is the grandest moun tain waterfall in the known world. About two miles up the valley the traveler reaches Vernal Fall in which tlie Merced takes a leap of three hundred and fifty feet the voung mother to imagine it is dead I ;U1<1 t,u u lushes ma.Uy amid hugebouhkr.- tliis time, and to shriek out, "Send for I in frightful rapids down to the vail mo tlier," in tones of anguish—this young rhc ^eneiy is grand :unl picturesque ih onple, in the light of the experience ^ 1C cx tremc. which three or four babies bring, find Iu Summer, when Bridal Veil and Yo that they have been ridiculous, and given I finite ilw.uf, Vernal still pours its ample mother a good many “trots for notliing. torrent.

Ascending slowly and laboriously, some times by means of the ladders, on the precipitous side of the rock, and after words winding through a deep and nar row cannon for about half a mile, the traveler stands at the foot of the Nevada Fall, tlu'most unique, beautiful and grand of Yosemite falls. The Merced dashes for a distance of seven hundred feet down the precipice s they arc able. And when the summons •ornes which none yet disregarded,though it will bea very dark and sad one for you, then God, too, will send for mother. IRRIGATION AND A COURT OF COMMON SENSE.

A Constitutional Convent: >n. Meeting of the Citizens of Clinch ' 'ouaty. Hoinerville, Ga., January 3, ..874. Pursuant to previous notice, a i lee .inf* of tlie citizens of Clinch county wi.s held here to-day. On motion of Col. J. L. Sweat, wilicit motion was seconded by the Hon. J. C. Kirkland. General David John: on was chosen Chairman, and E. T. Dukes, Esq.. Secretary. On taking the Chair, General Johnson briefly explained the object of tho meet ing to be the consideration of the ques tion as to the propriety of a Constitu tional Convention being called. Col. J. L. Sweat then introduced tlie following i’i solutions, sustaining them in a brief, but convincing speech, and moved their uloption by the meeting, which motion was seconded by tho Hon. David J. Sir- mans. when they were unanimously adopt ed: A\ nEUE.cs, The press and people of Georgia are agitating the question of tho ■all of a Constitutional Convention to frame a new Constitution for the State; and, whereas, we, a portion of the jfbopla of Clinch county, have assembled for the purpose of considering the expedii icy of such a step being taken at tho i -e3ent juncture of affairs; therefore be it Resolved,—That we are of the o> -nion, for the reason hereinafter set foit 1. that v Convention should be held,'and e 'e- i-idodly in favor of the call being in- do by the Legislature at its next session, and lo hereby request our Representative and Senator to vote in favor of a b !1 for that purpose. The reasons which mainly miluenc (13 in favoring a Convention are as follow;-,: 1. Because in a republican governmen t with institutions like ours, where consti tutions and laws derive their just force from tlie consent and love of the govern- d, we think that the people should have for their organic law a Constitution framed by their consent, nntl by those who love tlie State, and not a Constitu tion framed by a convention of aliens call ed together, as it were, by a foreign pow er, sustained by force and declared to be ratified at the point of the bayonet, and by the most outrageous fraud and per fidy. Because wo think the capital justly belongs to Millodgeville, from the fact that it was originally established there, with the distinct understanding that it should 1 a: the permanent seat of govern ment, from its geographical position, it being at or near the centre of tho State, and from the further fact that it was re moved from there by the same means which characterized the pretended adop tion of tho Constitution, in which tho change was made.and because at Milledge- villc we have public buildings from which derive no benefit, and which aro uuple, with slight repairs, for capitol purposes, while in Atlanta wo have pub lic buildings which cost tho Stato near rive hundred thousand dollars, and which could be sold and the State saved in that large amount or whatever sum they might be sold for; and, again, because the capitol building there is deemed un safe and unfit for a capitol, and unless the seat of government is removed back to Millodgeville a new capitol build ing at enormous expense will, perhaps, it no distant day, have to be built in At lanta. 3. Because we are in favor of tho old judicial system and ehoiter official terms for all officers whose terms were extended by tho new Constitution, the re-establish- of the old Inferior Courts, and tho selection of Grand Jurors because of their worth and intelligence. 4. Bccausp wo are in favor of electors having to reside at least twelve months iu the State and six months in the county, so as to be allowed the privilege of vo ting instead of six months in tlie Stata and thirty days in the county, as now provided by tho present Constitution, Because we want a clause in tho Constitution prohibiting State aid being ranted to railroads, or tho credit of tha State being loaned for any purpose i\ kat- ever. C. Because we want a constitutional prohibition against the payment of tho seven or eight millions dollars of bogus bonds, declared illegal by tho Legisla ture. or any part thereof. 7. Because we want short annual ses sions of the Legislature, limited to thirty Trade A 5 li I i: & 15 15 o T II K It CARPETS, OIL CLOTHS, CURTAIN;.
