Burke & Co., publishers, Macon, Ga. House Servants. Hiring house servants in the South is a sure and never ending trouble. The colored people have very vague ideas of responsi bility and the manner in which they obtain their situation encourage their disposition to be careless and indolent. They leave Mr. Jones to day, and arc hired by Mr. Smith to morrow. Certificates of character are not systematically required, and a smooth face and long tongue will generally secure for the possessor any vacancy that may exist in the sweeping, cooking, or washing de partments of a super-respectable family. Housekeepers do not reflect that they throw their houses open to strange servants who have but half a name and not a vestige of local habitation. They give them the run of their yards, rooms and closets, and yet arc surprised if petty thefts are common, and extensive robberies not unusual. The remedy is an obvious one. No ser vant should be employed who does not bring a certificate of character, and this rule should be inflexibly observed. Servants will then know that unless they behave well they will not find work again, and this knowledge will tend to make them respectful, faithful and dilligent. It will make situa tions valuable, will prevent those sudden departures which now throw households into confusion, and will teach servants that honesty, industry and good conduct alone will secure them a profitable and respectable livelihood. In this way what is called the “engaging occupation’’ may be made toler ably safe and pleasant. How to Make n City. A good illustration of what manufactures will do for a place when encouraged is afforded by the flourishing town of Cantqp, Ohio, where reapers and mowers are made. When the inventor went there, a few’ years ago, it was the dullest and least progres sive town in the State, and was retrograding in wealth and population. He asked for ten thousand dollars from the citizens, to help him start a manufactory. They raised and gave it to him. The following are the results ol the investment: Two large agricultural implement manufac. tories, of ploughs exclusively, one of stoves and hollow ware, one of reaper and mover knives, and of saddlery hardware, two of horse rakes, one of farm wagons, one of cultivators, one of wrought iron bridges, °ne of soaps, and others more or less extensive. These are not small concerns. Ihe machine interest alone supports two thousand five hundred men. The town has trebled in population, quadrupled in wealth, besides developing a home market for farm products which is stimulating production and enriching farmers in the country tributary to it. This is how the smart people of Ohio get along. Important to Wheat Growers. Au old and experienced farmer gives it as a fact that the following method is a sure prevention of the insect .veavel in wheat- In piling up your wheat alter it has been cleaned with the fan, to every three bushels put in a good hard brick, well dried by the sun, and be sure it is perfectly dry at the time you use it. The brick absorbs the moisture that naturally accumulates in the grain and causes it to become so hard and flinty that the insect or fly cannot penetrate the outer covering. We are assured by persons who have made the experiment is sq easy and simple, we would advise our friends who grow or deal in wheat to try it. Mad This being the season of the year when nervous people are disturbed in their sleep by visions of mad dogs, we give our readers the benefit of the system of treatment for the bite of a mad dog which prevails in Morocco. The remedy is one that admits of instant application, and is as effectual as it is summary. A Moor always carries some gunpowder in his pouch, and when he is bitten he takes out a handful, and, having deepened and en larged the wound with his knife, with as much carelessness and indifference as if he were the most practiced hospital surgeon, rubs the powder in the sore. Having made a little pyramid on the flesh, he allows it to dry for a few minutes in the sun. A match is then applied, and the operation terminates with a fiz, which has the double effect of cleansing the wound and staunching the blood. No evil conse quences follow beyond an ugly scar, testi. fying to the courage and endurance of the operator. • A’AJfA’S, JGNS, AND BIRTHPLACES UNITED STATES SENATORS. The Washington correspondent of the New York Express furnishes the following information concerning U. 8. Senators, which will be found interesting: Out of a Senate composed of fifiy four members, New England gave birth to not less than twenty two of them, while New York claims seven, Ohio seven, Pennsyl vania three, New Jersey two, Delaware two, Maryland two, Kentucky two, Virginia two, and Tennessee, Indiana, and Illinois, each one. “Auld Ireland,” alone of foreign lands, furnishes one—Conness, of California. The only Slates which originally furnished both their own Senators now representing them, are Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Every New England Senator is a native of New England, besides ten furnished to other States. Maine gave birth to Senators Howe and Morrill (of Maine.) New Hampshire, to Chandler, Fessenden, Grimes, Patterson (of N. H.) and Wilson. Vermont, to Morrill (of Vt.), Edmunds, Howard and Cragin. ■ Massachusetts, to Ccrbett, Morgan, Pome roy, Sumner, Thayer and Wade. Connecticut, to Dixon, Ferry and Trum bull. Rhode Island, to Sprague and Anthony. New York, to Cole, Conkling, Doolittle, Nye, Stewart. Van Winkle an 1 Williams. New Jersey, to Cattell and Frelinghuysen. Pennsylvania, to Cameron, Buckilew and Ramsey. Delaware, to Bayard and Saulsbury. Maryland, to Johnson and Vickers. Ohio, to Drake, Fowler, Norton, Russ, Hendricks, Sherman and Tipton. Virginia, to Henderson and Wiley. Kentucky, to Yates, Davis and MeCreery. Illinois, to Harlan. Indiana, to Morton. Tennessee, to Patterson of Tennessee. It will be observed that New England, New York, and Ohio, combined, have fur nished just two thirds of the present Senate. Ohio and New York alone furnish u surplus often Senators—equal to the surplus number furnished by entire New England. The Senators who are now serving out their third terms are Bayard, Cameron, Fessenden, Harlan, Sumner, Trumbull, Wade, and Wilson. Cameron and Revcrdy Johnson entered the Senate together in 1845, and were associated with Clay, Cal houn, and Webster. Bayard, Sumner, and Wade followed in 1851. The Senate is composed very largely, of lawyers. The exceptions are Anthony and Ross, editors; Cameron, railroad man ager ; Cattell, banker; Chandler, Morgan, Corbett, and Morrill of Vermont, merchants ; Sprague, manufacturer, and Wilson, shoe dealer. About one half are college educated men— Harvard boasts as her son Senator Sumner; Yale claims Ferry and Stewart; Brown University, Anthony and Thayer; Williams, Dixon and Howard ; Dartmouth, Grimes and Patterson of N. II.; Amherst, Pomeroy; Wesleyan University, Cole of Californina; Bowdoin, Fessenden; Waterville, Morrill of Maine; Rutgers, Frelinghuysen ; Geneva, Doolittle; Dickinson College, Saulsbury; Franklin College, Ohio, Fowler; Asbury University, Indiana, Harlan ; South Hanover College, Hendricks; St. John’s, Maryland, Revcrdy Johnson ; Miami University, Mor ton; Kenyon College, Norton ; and Madison College, Pennsylvania, Senators Tipton and Willey. On examination of the family records of our distinguished Senators, 1 find that the oldest is that stern old Roman, Revcrdy Johnson, soon, probably, to represent this nation at the Court of St. James. His age is 72; while Sprague, the most juvenile of the Senators, is but 38. Cameron is G 9; Wade, 68; Davis, 67; Bayard, about 61; Howard, 63; FeSsenden, 62; Vanwinkle, 60; Morrill of Vermont, 58; and Willey, Mor gan, Sumner and Drake, each 57 ; Wilson is 56, while Trumbull, Chandler and Morrill of Maine are each 55. Dixon is 54, followed by Doolittle, Ramsey, Anthony and Nye, each 53. Cattell, Grimes, Howe and Pome roy are 52; Tipton ami Frelinghuysen, 51; Yates, 50; Patterson of Tennessee, and Hendricks, 49 ; Thayer, Harlan and Sauls bury, 48; Conness, Cragin and Buckalew, 47; Fowler and Cole, 46; Sherman, Wil liams, Morton, Ferry, and Patterson ot New Hampshire, are of the same age, 45 ; Hen derson and Ross are 42; Corbett and Stewart, 41; Edmunds, 40; Norton and Conkling, 39; and Sprague 38. Norton being six months older than Conkling, the latter is the next youngest man in the Senate. Senators Mc- Creery, of Kentucky, and Vickers, of Mary land, who came lately into that body, are not included in this list. They would not change the extremes, however.

An immense crowd of spectators wit nessed the organization of the State Gov ernment, commencing at noon to day. In the Senate Chamber, the Bench was occupied by Gen. Meade, Gov. Bullock, Judge Erskine, and Hon. J: R. Parrott. At the request of Gov. Bullock, Mr. Taylor, Journalizing Clerk of the late Convention, read (the Act of Congress for the admission of the States, the Proclama tion of the Governor elect, and the orders of Gen. Meade announcing the result of the recent election and proclaiming R. B. Bullock Provisional Governor of Georgia. The names of the Senators present (forty) were then called, and the oath of office as prescribed in the Constitution of Georgia was administered to each by Justice Erskine, of the Supreme Court- The election for President of the Senate resulted in the choice of Hon. Benjamin Conley, of your city. A. E. Marshal, of Atlanta, was elected Secretary. The members elect of the House then repaired to the Representatives’ hall. There were one hundred and fifty-three members present. They received the oath of office from Judge Erskine. Hon. K. L. McWhorter, of Gfeene eflunty, was elected Speaker, by two votes, over his competitor, Hon. W. P. Price, of Lumpkin. The House then adjourned until Monday morning. P. National Democratic Convention. New Yoke, July 4.—New Tammany Hall is admirably arranged for the Conven tion. It is elegantly festooned with large American flags, and decorated with elabo ra'ely painted escutcheons of all the States. Accommodations for delegates are ample, and those for the press are excellent, ex cept that the managers persistently refuse admission to accredited messengers to re ceive reports. Weather intensely hot, but the hall is perfectly ventilated. Among the spectators are many ladies ; also, Francis P. Blair, Senator Patterson, cx-Seimtor Bayaid, and many men promi nent in Southern politics before the war. All boards f closed early yesterday on account of the holiday, and business is very light. The hall and galleries were densely crow ded. A great crowd is outside vainly striving to gain admittance- A strong police Force is at the doors and on the street to keep the road open and preserve good order. The Convention was called to order at twelve minutes past 12 o’clock by Auguste Bellnont, Chairman of the National Demo cratic Committee. [sEUOXD DI SPATCH.] New Yoiik. June 4.—The crowd in the vicinity of Tammany Hall render the streets almost impassable. There are over fifty thousand applications for admission to the Convention. Pendleton’s forces preserve their enthusiasm and confidence. Johnson men are few in number, but very determined. Hancock’s supporters seem in bad temper. Rumors of a Chase letter, bearing strongly on State's rights, excites much attention. The Southern delegates applaud Johnson for his Amnesty Proclamation enthusiastically. The rules of the Democratic Convention of 1861 was adopted. Territories are excluded from a voice in the Convention. Committees on credentials, resolutions, and a permanent organization were appointed; when, after reading the Declaration of Independence, the Convention adjourned to Monday. Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Convention. New York, July 4.—Gen. MeClernatid, of Illinois, appointed temporary chairman. He welcomed all true soldiers, North ami South.
