Tkafi B*. Incredible as it may appear, we find a truthful paragram in the Macon leleyraph! Speaking of the Ex-Hon. Bradley, it » a y* the National Republican “don’t know him." No, air, we never passed a word with him, nor have we given him one hun dredth part of the space assigned him by the self-styled dignified Democratic journals of Georgia. By the way, what a polite, veracious gentlemen (so-called) must the Telegraph man be to persist in calling this journal a ‘‘Radical negro organ,” after we have given it the lie so effectually. — —i » Why «•« I We see it is becoming quite fashionable, of late, in business advertisements, among tho Unreconstructed, to print in big letters such attractive captions as “ Crippled at Chicamauga," etc., with tho name of some Regiment C. S. A., and tho intimatiou that the advertising survivor of the Lost Cause “ will bo duly thankful to all Ex- Confeda., Rcbs., and all others, for patron age." Why wouldu’t it be a good idea to carry this thing a little farther ?—for instance, a man having groceries to sell to everybody (•'Scalawags" included) to publish the fact, “ I kept out of tho army by driving a baggage-wagon”; or, in offering dry goods. “ 1 was caught running the block ade, and therefore didn't wear tho gray”; or, in filling orders tor drugs, '• I wasn’t here at home, but resided in the vicinity of New York until the late little unpleasant ness was over,” etc. Why not ? Seizure of the itlanbaitun. The New York Commercial Advertiser of Thursday afternoon says: “Special Agent Cornwall, acting under the orders of Collec tor Shook, yesterday afternoon seized the steamer Manhattan, of the New York and Charleston Steamship Company, for violation of the revenue laws in delivering cotton, the taxes upon which had not been paid, to private hands instead of the Collector of the District.” Fatal Accident. Coroner Whiting held an inquest on East Bay, near Easel street, Charleston, on Satur day afternoon, on the body of Margaret Halm, an interesting little girl about 9 years of age, whose clothes accidentally took fire on Friday morning and who died from the effects of burning, the same evening. Verdict the jury, “that she came to her death by accidental burning.” Tlic Georgia Case in Court. After the Georgia and Mississippi cases had been disposed of, a short time since, in the Supreme Court of the United States; Judge Black filed anew bill in behalf of the State of Georgia against Generals Grant, Meade and Ruger et al. It is under stood that this bill seeks to avoid all the difficulties encountered in the former argu ment, and raises distinctly a question of property, to-wit: the Treasury of the State of Georgia. An injunction to protect this is prayed for. The time for hearing the argument is not yet determined. Order of Secretary Stanton. General Orders No. 9, j ust issued by order of the Secretary of War, promulgates the joint resolution of Congress, for the rclie" of destitute persons in the South author izing the distribution of desicated potatoes and mixed Vegetables which have accumu lated during the war, and are not needed for the army. This is the first general order issued by Mr. Stanton which lias been made public. He has issued a num ber of special orders signed “ By order of the Secretary of War,” but all the special orders beginning “By direction of the President,” are signed “By command of General Grant,” and then follows the sig nature of the Adjutant-General. *«.*. Plienonicuu. According to one Professor Delisscr, a series of celestial and terrestrial phe nomena is at hand. On the night of tiie 27tli of February, in the western heavens, there will be a conjunction of the moon with Jupiter and Venus; and three nights later, Jupiter will pass Venus by only twenty-three seconds of a degree. The result of these conjunctions and perturba tions will be atmospheric commotion— electrical discharges, heavy gales, high tides, earthquakes, and nobody knows what besides. Moreover, the whole year will be fearful for its storms, inundations,, eruptions, quakings of the earth, etc. We shall see and hear of those things if they occur. Business Prospects. Tbo fact that the resources of our coun try—its lands, its houses, its mines, its forests, its herds, its mills, its machinery, its vessels, its railways, its canals, which constitute its intrinsic wealth—arc not diminished; that its population is increas ing in numbers, and is growing wiser by the teaching of severe experience, afford solid grounds whereon to base hopes of early improvement in almost every branch of business. Though we have received a temporary check, a sharp admonition, wo may claim to be ranked among the richest nations of the world. Let us take heart, curb extravagances, obey the apostolic injunction to be “not slothful in business,” not looking too much to tbe Government for aid, but rather minister to our needs by our own exertions- It is encouraging to believe that the “win ter of our discontent” is drawing to a close, and that the approaching spring will wit ness a revival in all the more valuable departments of industry, whereat Capital and Labor shall bo made glad. Outside of their own affairs, what busi ness men most need is n financial system so wisely framed that it will bear up its own weight, and not require to ho speedily taken down and rebuilt—a system that they can rcgnrd as a fixed landmark by which to be guided in every rational en terprise. Spasmodic fluctuations in na tional legislation respecting raonctury affairs are alarmiug to both Capital and Labor. For a stable system, whereon it is Isafe to embark, they have a right to look to Congress and the Treasury Department. Pwlli*. A New Orleans reporter speaks es a wo man who was creating a disturbance in the streets as “deeply agitated with bensiue.’’ Surely (ho height es courtesy can go no farther. How Do Von Know J Or Course.— As might have beon pro dieted with perfect safety, the charges of malfeasance and corruption in office pre ferred by a majority of tho most respectable citixeus of Augusta, against the indicted Blodgett, and his colleagues of tho Augusta City Council, and which were investigated (?) by a Military Commission, have been dismissed “by command of Major General Meade.” It is a matter for congratulation, though, by the honest tax payers of that city, that tho real People of Georgia back them in their efforts, and are fully satisfied that they deserved, and. would have had a different fate before auy legal tribunal.— Journal <{• Messenger. “Os course,” this characteristic squib was copied in the “respectable” Chronicle on yesterday. Wo are a little curious to know how this Macon intermeddler became so wise as to know that the charges alluded to were “preferred by a majority of the most respectable citizens of Augusta.” Ho had only the say-30 of the Chronicle for such an assertion. Democratic Clubs. Arrangements are being effected to or ganize Democratic Clubs in all the Wards. * * * It is time that the patriotic people of the South—those who believe in preserving this Government as the white man’s government —should arouse al! the energies of their natures. [ Chronicle <(■ Sentinel. The “Democrats” of Lebanon, 111., do not share the prejudice of their brethren else where against the colored individual. They are regular subscribers to a newspaper edited by a “ full-bloo'ded negro,” and crowded a hall the other evening to listen to him, applauding him to the echo. This partiality is accounted for by the fact that he is a staunch Democrat. Senator Doolittle, who does much for the Democratic party, of which he is a bright and shining light, proposes that all colored men who can read, write, or who have a $250 freehold, or who have served in the army, shall be permitted to vote. This “Democrat,” then, would allow tho pure black son of Africa, who can do a littlo reading and spelling, to be set over the octoroon, who counts half a dozen aristocratic Democrats among his ancestors! He would promote black blood that spells over the Caucasian that does not. Mr. Doolittle ought surely to add all those who have any portion of white blood. Again, shall we set a higher value on read ing, real estate, soldiering, or white blood, than on piety ? By no means. Mr. Doo little must add to his qualifications all who are zealous in prayer or gifted in exhortation. But after all, in a race of working men, what qualification of mind is more important than good health and stout muscular, physical systems? Let Mr. Doolittle allow every black man to vote whose physical proportions are equal to his own—who can run as well, lift as well, butt as well, and in all respects vindicate his virility as satisfactorily as the Hon. Mr. Doolittle. Let him then add every negro who will vote the Democratic ticket. James L. Patterson. We are deeply paiued to announce the demise of this excellent citizen, which took place yesterday morning about ten o’clock. Mr. Patterson was born in Charleston on the 16th of September, 1813, and began business early in life with his father, the late Samuel Patterson. Subsequently lie became one of the partners of the firm of Patterson & Mag wood, and afterwards of that of Patterson Sf Stock, which was formed in 1846. and of which he was a member at the tirno of his death. Thoroughly enterprising, of stainless integrity, aud possessed of a largo business experience, Mr. Patteison’s death creates a melancholy void in our mercantile com munity, whilst it falls like an almost unen durable calamity upon the host of friends who will cherish the memory of Ins do mestic attributes aud graces. —Charleiton Courier, Monday. Encourage Home Industry. [Some weeks ago we sent out the follow ing paragram upon the sea of paperdom, and which, we have been gratified to see, has been generally adopted by our cotem poraries. The sentiments expressed therein are jnst as true and applicable now as they were when the article first saw daylight; so here wo go again—as the little boy ex claimed when the bull chased him :] We arc glad to sec so many’ of our young men steadily applying themselves to me chanical occupations, believing that it argues well for the success of our country, and we hope that every citizen will feel it his duty to encourage home manufactures whenever in his power. The labor of me chanics should always meet with this encouragement. It incites them to indus try, and aids greatly in securing that genial good fellowship which induces man to help Tiis fellow man. Live and let live, is a capital motto that should be especially remembered at this time, and those who receive business favors in the way of pat ronage are very apt to return them in some shape or other. Soon, very soon, we hope, business wiil receive anew impetus, and by honesty, industry, and fair dealing, our city will, we trust, become at no dis tant date, as lively and prosperous as in her best days.

Saturday's rules and resolutions of the organization adopted by the majority were re-adopted.
