V Hheu's, l«2i Broad
iFeed,
Trkatmicnt ov thk Sooth. —Tbe
organ of the two branchos of the Fede
ral army—the Army and Nary Jour
nal—has been examining into tbe
causes of the New Orleans riot. It
arrives at the following conclusion in
reference to the treatment of the South,
which conclusion is doubtless concurred
in by a large body of people at the
North:
The cominoVscnsc view is not to
force repulsive professions of allegiance
down Southern throats, to exact strin
gent oaths, to take away property and
demand life by wav of vengeance, to
keep clamoring for the trial of Davis
and reproaching the South with the
failure of its cause. It is rather to be
generous about the past, but cautious
about the future; to forgive all former
lapses, but take care that there shall
never be any more with regard to seces
sion or slavery. In so doing, it is wise
to give the South credit for the same
sincerity in its opinions with regard to
the advantages of secession and slavery
which its opponents have always claimed
in holding opposite views. Indeed, to
believe that the Southern people, from
mere selfish consideration, could, in a
twelve month, reverse tjie current of
their sentiment on national topics, is to
offer them a gratuitous insult, aud one
which their gallant mid obstinate con
duct in the field for four years dues not
deserve.
Pickle Puisoning.— lt has been offi
cially announced, in London, that most
of the popular pickles, known as “pica
lili,” are made out of pickles that have
become putrid, and have been mixed
with mustard and turmeric to make
them saleable. This >l picalili” afflict
ed so many with choleraic symptoms
that it attracted judicial attention, and
hence the expose■ It should be known
that pickle poisoning is not a rare event,
by any means, in the United States.
Pickles should always be eaten with
great distrust, unless yon put them up
yourself, and know exactly how harm,
less is the process employed to embel
lish and disqualify them.
Life of Gen. N. B. Forrest. —The
Atlanta Intelligencer states, by
that a gentleman of distinguished lite
rary ability is now engaged in writing a
history ot General Forrest’s cavalry
command. The General desires that
those who contributed to his promotion
should share whatever of fame or dis.
tinction may be accorded to him. Any
officer or private who was in his com
mand, and who can recall any anefcdotes,
incidents, or items of any kind, of inter
est to the historian, will please carefully
prepare sueli manuscript and forward to
Captain G. W. Adair, at Atlanta, who
will give it the proper direction. There
were txvo Georgia regiments at the cap
ture of Murfreesboro, whose members
could contribute items of great interest.
Great Masonic Gathering in Bal
timore.—A meeting of the Grand Lodge
of Free and Accepted Masons has been
called to meet in the Mouuniental City
on the 17th of the present month, for
the purpose of making arrangements for
laying the corner stone of the new Tem
ple on North Charles street. It is un
derstood that the Order design making
the event one of the greatest demonstra
tions of the kind that has yet taken
place in this country, aud that members
of the ancient Order will be present
from every section of the Union.
What a Mess a Miss Made. —A mar.
ried officer on arriving at tbe Curragh,
whither he had been ordered to join his
regiment, wrote to his wife that he had
“formed a connection with a very agree
able mess, and expected to spend the
summer very pleasantly.” Unfortu
nately, and greatly to the surprise and
mortification of his good lady, he inad
vertently dotted the letter e in the word
mess. Only think of it.
General Gustavos W. Smith. —ln a
letter from Chattanooga to the editor of
the Memphis Avalanche , General Smith
denies that he wrote the criticism of the
Dalton campaign, recently published,
and says: “But since my name has beeu
publicly connected with it, I feel not
only at liberty, but constrained, to say
that, in my judgment, controversies of
the character provoked by, and almost
certain to spring from, publications of
this sort, are at present ill-timed.”
A Nut fob the Rads. —The Darling
ton (S. C.) Southerner says that there
is a movement on hand among the
freedmen of that place to get up a peti
tion to the President for the withdrawal
of the military, the abolition of Provost
Courts, aud putting a stop to the inter
ference of the Bureau with the affairs of
the blacks.
Marriage in England. —Col. Alfred
Rbett and Miss Alice Sparks, of Charles
ton, S. C., were married on the 14th of
August, at All Saints’ Church, Upper
Norwood, Surrey (England), by the
Rev. James Watson.
BRAN, Etc
Death of a Promising Young Cit
iupr.—Most forcibly and constantly are
we reminded of the verity of that truth:
“ In the midst of life, we are in death.”
Yesterday we chrouicled the demise of
au estimable lady, and to day we record
the death of a prooiising young citizen.
Richard Moore Frost was a young man
of no ordinary ability, as the success he
met with in life abundantly demonstra
ted. Prosecuting his studies privately,
in the Medical College, at this place, he
graduated in Dentistry, with distinction,
in his 21st year. He then removed to
Anderson, S. C., where he commenced
to prepare to enter the Episcopal minis
try, he being a zealons member of the
Episcopal Church. Why he abandoned
those studies we are not advised ; but,
in abandoning the study of theology he
did not cease to demean himself as a
true follower of Christ.
In professional and social life,Richard
Frost was a Christian gentleman. He
bid fair to become distinguished in his
chosen profession, aud his death cannot
but be rendered a public calamity. Dr.
Frost died in Crawfordvillo, Ga.. (where
he xras residing), last Sabbath, the tfth
inst. The fatal disease was diptheria.
Peace to his soul.
The Political Situation in New
York —The Herald of a recent date
give? an encouraging view of the politi
cal situation in New York. It says the
developments in every part of the coun
try furnish unmistakable proof that the
Conservative movement now in progress
has really taken the character of a gen
eral uprising in the people. A revolu
tion in the politics of the country will
unquestionably follow. The fact has
become so apparent that Secretary Sew
ard has predicted that this State will
give forty thousand majority against the
Radical party. We do not expect so
large a majority as that, for tho reason
that the.canvass is too short; but we do
not think that the Empire State will
give less than twenty thousand for the
Conservative party. We.shall be satisfied
with that figure in the State, with twe
thirds of the members of Congress.
This mueh can be secured, if tbe nomi
nations for Congress on the Conservative
side are judiciously selected.
Rev. John F. Berry. —The Macon
Journal it Messenger, of the 9th inst., is
informed that tbe Rev. John F. Berry, a
member of the Georgia Conference, was
killed by lightning, at his residence, in
Ellaville, on Wednesday last. Mr. Berry
was in charge of the Ellaville Circuit,
and had just finished a discourse to
his congregation and returned home;
scarcely had ho taken bis seat when he
received the stroke of lightning, which
killed him instantly. His wife, who was
in another part of the house at the
time, received a shock which prostrated
her. How true it is that “in the midst
of life we are in death.” Thus, in the
twinkling of an eye, has a good man
been snatched from the bosom of his
family. Death found him ready for the
summons.
Large Returns. —The Assessor of
the Second District of Georgia reports
that, fur the fiscal year ending June
30th, the property assessed in the thirty
four counties composing the District
amount to over $2,300,000. On this
amount taxes must he paid to the U. S.
Government. The sum is said to be
considerably larger than the returns from
some of the Northern States.
The Columbus Sun, from which we
glean the above, says that Assessor
Webster will leave for Washington in a
few days, when he will endeavor to get
the Treasury regulations so modified as
to let cotton seek its proper mart, and
there be weighed and assessed. This
privilege is now granted to Alabama
planters, whose market is Columbus.
Condensation. — Condensation, says a
contemporary, is the new order of the
day iu newspaper literature. The his
tory which the world is making speaks
to us by the hour in brief and pithy sen
tences along the telegraph wire, whether
through the air or under the fathomless
waters, and no old-fashioned modes of
conducting newspapers can resist such a
renovation as this.
The County Court. —The Grand
Jury returned twelve true bills yester
day. The majority are larceny cases,
and the defendants freedmen.
Three negroes were found guilty of
the charge of simple larceny. One was
acquitted of a similar charge.
The Court adjourned at 6 P. M. until
9} o’clock this morning.
Arrest. —Paul Simmons was arrested
yesterday, charged with stealing and
killing a beef. After investigation by a
J. P. a true bill, for simple larceny, was
found, and his trial set for to. day.

Our Annual City Directory.
We issued last year our first Directo

The second number will contain a
colored map of Georgia and a large
