He walked from Louisville to Nashville, being refused transportation. He lias beeu sick iu the hospital at Elmi ra for more than three years. Macon and Brunswick Railroad.— Attention is called to the advertisement of this Road elsewhere fouud. The road is progressing most rapidly and sat isfactorily, and constant work will be given to able-bodied hands. We have every assurance that by n?xt fall, it will be read? for transportation of the crop of that year. Encouraging —We have hopes even ot Massachusetts. The attendance at the common soUools of Now Euglaud shows a decided falling off iu tire last two years, owiug to au actual decrease in the num ber of children- The average number in each family used to fceseveu. Now, how ever. it is only four. Iu many towns the deaths exceed Mm births, and ouiy the immigration or foreigners keeps up the genorml standard of the population. “Are you Insured”?— The decision of Judgp Clifford in the United States Circuit Court, which we publish this morning, should prompt who hold policies of iusuranM wblfeh have been transferred or assigned, to look sharply to the validity and regularity of the proceeding. [Providence Journal. The party insured had assigned the pol icy to a third 'party without the consent of the company insuring. Decision, of couree, was that the third party could not recov er, the awignar being the one insured. And Rathe goods wort not his (the insur ed party’al when burned, neither could he Richmond Diapatch. NORTHERN CIVILIZATION. The public print* of those especially fa vored portion* of tbl* glorious United States, known as the North and West, are just now full of snob pleasant little episodes as wholesale hanging* by mobs, carving men into hash in oyster saloons, and throwing rich old ladies out of their own second story windows, by their daughters and 9ons-in-iaw. We read them with mingled horror and wonder—horror that any system of civilization, no matter bow rotten, should have such croppings out, and wonder that any people whose skirts so reek with blood, should have tbe brazen audacity to point the finger of reproach, and wag the tongue of condemnation at the sins of other*. -We are in tbe habit, too, of reading alongside just such occur rences, diatribes upon the barbarism of rebellion, and it* sequences, Ku-Klux out rages, and “rebel” cruelties to white and black “loilists,” so that tbe justice and propriety of these very black pots calling the kettle names, is delightfully apparent. The exact troth about this matter is just this, both with reference to the North and South : Neither section ought, of right, to be held responsible,for; the and outrages perpetrated by the very worst speeim •) i 5 ns. Crime prevails, and wili’prevailjn every community, no matter how scorned, and fought, and vigorously attacked by tbe law and its ally, public opinion. There can be no Utopia while men and women are as we find them now. We at the South recognize this fact, and are willing to allow its pleadings to be hearth even in behalf of those who have most despitefully used us. Our good friends at tbe North, though, ate not so tolerant. They say we are woh-e than any people upon the face of the earth ; that we are all responsible for the outrages of the few outlaws who commit tiiem ; that it result* from tbe fact that we were, and are, “rebels” and “traitors,” and don’t love “loyalty” and its professors; and that, as a corollary, we deserve dire punishment—the Northern horrors of course being merely incidental, and not worthy of remark. It strikes us that this is a very fair statement of the case. How it shall be treated, Is a very simple question. Its answer will be found in an earnest and manly application of tbe Golden Rule to the Northern heart and conscience. We do not cherish a very lively hope that any such Millenium is near at hand, but it is none tbe lesß our duty aud our pleasure to invoke it. lIOW TO DO THE JOB. General Grunt is sending all disposable troops to Sheridan for service against the Indians. That is he is taklug them from Northern recruiting of fices and barracks, and in no case from the South. Soldiers in the South are not “disposable” troops. [ Western Paper. Take them along. We cau spare every man stationed South of the Potomac river. We have no objection either to officers or men, in tbe main, remaining among us, for they behave themselves well, and show no great love for scalawags and kindred ver min. But (bey are not needed here, aud are, out West. Therefore let them go where they cau be put to some use. By tbe way, would it not be well to in quire into tbe expediency of organizing a corps of carpet-baggers to do this Indian job? Sheridan says the whites and the Indians cannot live on the plains together, aud advises the removal of the latter, aud the purchase of their lauds by the Govern ment. The carpet bagger cau get it cheaper than that. They will steal it all in forty days if turned loose, and are well paid for the job. We name Bryant for leader. If Clift aud Prince are associated with him,-they will steal the Indians, themselves, if de sired. By all means let them have a chance at the job. The Charleston Phosphate Trade. This trade is looking up decidedly. A schooner bringing machinery for the Charleston Mining and Manufacturing Company has just sailed for Philadelphia, with a return cargo of 440 tons, and a company, with a capital of $1,000,000, has leased a large mill in Charleston, and will forthwith erect works on a large scale for manufacturing fertilizers out of ft. The News says that the effect of the discovery of this phosphate is being very perceptibly felt with reference to other fertilizers. A house in New York that used to sell $50,000 worth of one kind in Charleston, alone, per annum, are now storing it, not only there, but as far West as Cincinnati—the demand for the Carolina article exceeed ingall others. The Fruit and Vegetable Canning Business in Baltimore.— From an ad dress delivered recently before the Anne Arundel (Md.) Agricultural Association, by its President, Hon. E. J. Henkle, we extract the following interesting statistics of the exteut and importance of this busi ness. It now ranks as the third business in Baltimore city in its proportions. Thus with the season made perennial, at least tive millions of capital is directly in vested iu it; and the amount invested di rectly or indirectly, in all its collateral branches, must- beat leastthreetimes that amount. .. - More than three millions of dollars, it is estimated, have been expended in Balti more the past season in fruits and vegeta bles alone. The sales of one house alone in three months amount to more than $70,000 iu goodsof their own manufacture. There are about fifty of these establish ments in Baltimore city, to three or four 1:, Philadelphia, aud Dot more than six In New York. , The Bureau in Georgia. —After the Ist of January next, concern wRI be organized in Georgia as follows. It is to be hoped the arrangement will drive the horde of slanderous beggars wbo have been fattening upon the people for the past three years, to some sort of honest labor. One assistant commissioner and chief superin tendent of schools, one disbursing officer for the educational department and payment of bounties, one agent for the payment of bounties, four assist ant superintendents of schools, and three clerks. The Cornfields of the Great West, —a gentleman writing from Illinois to a frieud in Boston, says ; “ While out bunting, two weeks ago, I was iu some cornfields which belong to a man named Sullivan. He probably owns more laud than any farmer iu the Btate. He is the proptietor of nine townships, each six miles square. This year be has 25,000 acres of corn. This seems like a b g story, but it is nevertheless true It was just the easiest thing in the world to get lost in his cornfields. I strayed into one field and walked four and a half miles before I came to the end of the row of corn which I followed.” Father Ryan will preach in the Catholic Church thk (Tuesday) evening, at half-past seven •*clock.

Schofield, Secretary of War: Sib: I have the honor to submit the reports of Division, District, and Department Commanders, for the past year. These report* give a full account of the operations and service* of the army for the year, and I refer you to them for details. I would earnestly renew my recommendation of last year, that the control of the Indians be transferred to the War Department. I call special attention to the recommendation of Gen. Sherman on the sub ject It has my earnest approval. It is unneces sary that the arguments in favor of the transfer should be re-stated. The necessity for it becomes stronger and more evident every day. While the Indian war continues I do not deem any general legislation for the reduction of the army advisable. The troopsjon the plains are all needed. Troops are still needed in the Southern States, and further reduction can be made in the way already used and now in operation where it is safe, namely: by allowing companies to diminish by discharges without being strengthened by recruits, and by stopping appointments of Second Lieutenants. If it should be deemed advisable the veteran reserve regiments might be discontinued by absorption and retirement of officers and discharge of men without detriment to the service. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, U. S. Grant, General. Washington News. Washington, Nov. 30. —The suit of John Nagles vs. Stanton, for injury to Nagle’s farm in Prince William county, during the war, was dismissed at Nagles’ costs. Colfax has returned. None of the target* at Fortress Monroe were bound to the heavy ordnance used during the re cent experiments. Naval promotions : Captain George F. Emmons to Commodore; Commanderß. F. Renshaw, to be Captain; R. W. Meade, to be Commander. The Indian Commissioners meet here this week. Should the Indian war continue, its cost next year is estimated at 440,000,000. Revenue to-day $783,000; for the month $9,500,000. General Grant departed northward to-day. Treasury agents seized in New York on Friday thirty-five thousand yards of fine Lyons Silks, and a large quantity of French clocks. This is the largest seizure ever made in the United States, ag gregating $70,000. The Chiraque rebels lost fifty-two killed and their arms and leader. The Government lost three killed and eight wounded. Among the latter are General Pedro .Gaita. This battle qpds the civil war in Panama. The Costa Rica Revolution is successful. Presi dent Castor is deposed and Jiminez installed. A kerosene lamp exploded at the house of E. J. Leslie, in Sing Sing, on Saturday, burning to death Mrs. Leslie and her two children. South Carolina Legislature. Charleston, Nov. 30.—Gov. Scott to-day sent his message to the Legislature. He takes an encoura ging view of the position of affairs in this State, and gives substantial reasons for his belief that no State of the Union is moiv solvent or has a fairer pros pect of meeting all her liabilities. The aggregate receipts of the State Treasury for the six months ending October 31st, have been $435,572, and ex penditures for same period $409,688. The Governor recommends that the donation of land made by the United States Government be devoted to the establishment of an Educational In stitute in Charleston, for instructions in Agricul ture, Mechanic Arts and the higher brandies of Scientific and Classical studies. Be denounces all turbulance and lawlessness) and strongly deprecates secret political organiza tions, and in concluding bis message, he says: “The general elections have passed, and the po litical issues involved, which so fiercely agitated the country, having been determined for a consid erable period, it is devoutly to .be hoped that the community may be indulged in a much needed re spite from the passions and excitements to which it lias so long been subjected; and that our people may be enabledj'to turn their attention to the de velopment and improvement of their material re sources, which have been so sadly impaired and neglected. “It gives me much pleasure to state that assur ances have been received, both previous and sub sequent to the election, from many of the most prominent men of the State, heretofore in active opposition to the government, of their regret at the occurrence of these outrages, and their detes tation for their authors, as well as of their deter mination to yield a willing obedience to the Con stitution and laws, relying on the peaceful exercise of their rights at the ballot box to remedy what ever they may deem objectionable in them. This determination has exerted, and cannot but con tinue to. exert, a favorable influence upon the property of the State and the tranquility Los its people, stimulating its industry apd giving charac ter and credit to its enterprises. “Recognising with pleasure these evidences of returning good feeling, and wishing to reciprocate every indication of an approach to friendly'rela tions, I would reiterate the recommendations cj my last message in favor of a liberal policy on the part of the Legislature in reference to the removal of all political disabilities. While upon the sub ject of our past differences, I would-take occasion to express the hope that national politics will occupy hereafter a much less prominent position in the affairs of the State and in the minds of the people than heretofore. Political issues having been determined for years to come, at least, there is but little propriety in keeping up political agita tion.” Meade Wants More Power. Washington, Nov. 30.—Meade’s report gives a detailed accouat of his operations. He was applied to from ail parts of the States under his command to remove occupants from office and appoint others in their stead. He declined making changes, ex cept where neglect of duty was proved, or attempt ed obstruction to the Reconstruction Acts. He refers to the anomalous condition of affairs, and suggests that more power be given the Department Commanders. A Treasury Rat In Trouble. Naw York, Nov. 30.—George W. McLean, of the Treasury secret service department, was committed to jail for passing a ten dollar bill. McLean pleads drunkenness iu extenuation. Squally for Hiscock. Albany, N. Y., Nov. 30.—The Court in the Col. Hlsoock case excludes the evidence of adultery. _ Marine News. Boston. Nor. 80.—The steamer Concordia, from New Orleans for Boston, has arrived off Vineyard Sound.

The President'* Message. The Washington correspondent of the Boston Poet writes-as fallows to that paper concerning the forthcoming message of President Johnson: President Johnson has completed the rough draft of liis annual message, and he congratulates himself upou the fact that it is to be bis last. He says that no man has ever surrendered official responsibility with a moiety of the pleasure witli which he will vacate the chair. His message will vindicate, at much length, tbe past policy of his administration. Not, he says, for the purpose of convincing those to whom it is addressed, but to place on record a full vindication of his official action. The message reviews the Recon struction Acts and compares the Recon struction policy of Cougress with the poli cy of his administration as viewed iu the light of the Constitution as well as upon their intrinsic merits, as plana for restor ing peace and prosperity to a distracted eountry. President Johnson is better sat isfied than ever of the wisdom of the plan of restoration which he proposed, and says that time has tended to establish the fallacy of Congressional Reconstruc tion. Referring to the general shock which the Constitution had received at the hands of the dominant party, be cites cases of tyranny aud outrage which were its necessary results This portion of the message closes with an eloquent appeal to the Americau people to stand by the Union of the Btates, but at the same time never to forget that the Constitution is the sheet anchor of their freedom. There is much in the message, it is said, to remind the country s os Washington’s farewell address, and it may be that President Johnson had this immqctad document iu mind while dictating his last message, the details of which are understood to be in a great measure similar to the message sent to Congress one year ago.

When the stomach is rebellious, the liver con tumacious, the bowels disordered, the brain coa fused. and the nerves in a tnmult, call in the aid of HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS, if you would restore quiet, regularity and harmony to the action of these important organs. A large proportion, of-foe complaints to which the human family are subject originate in indigestion. For this distressing maiady, and parent of innume rable ailments as distressing as Hself, the BIT TERS are the only article proved by experience to be a universal and unfailing remedy. Bnt although ft was as a remedy for dyspepsia and “biliousness that they first obtained prettige twen ty years ago, it is now well understood, both by the public and the medical profession, that their curative properties take a far wider range. In nervous complaints, spasmodic affections, fever and ague, and every variety of general and local debility, their effect Is most salutary ; and as a means of preparing the system to resist damp, cold, poisonous elements in the water or the air, privation, exposure, Ac., no medicinal agent at present known can be justly compared with this powerful yet hardness tonic. The feeble and sen sitive, who can ril withstand the inclemency of the winter season, will find the BITTERS exactly the article they need to fortify and sustain them. In the active pursuits of pleasure or gain, foe inestimable blessing of health is too often forgot ten, until disease is firmly seated, and the fact only realized by great bodily and mental suffering. The liver is the vulnerable point in most persons, and foe disarrangement of that organ involves almost foe whole system, therefore the reason why under iver disease there is enumerated such a number of afflictions, and we claim the Simmons Liver Regu lator to be a remedy for them all. Furr, of every quality, can be had at Pore Freeman's, in Shaw's Block. ANNOUNCEMENT. *9“ Cal. B. B.
