L A ROUST CTTT CIITUUTION.
A UOUBTA. «»A.I
WEDNESDAY MORNINO.—Oet. I*. >*«•
Angtuta Aflbire.
“ Nabob," the August* correspondent
of the Louisville (Kt ) Omtrirr , in a late
letter to that journal say*:
“Tha good citixena of August* are
trying to get up a at reel railroad. Sub
scription books hare been opened, and
the worthy Superintendent of the Geor
gia Railroad, Col. E. W, Cole, ia the
President. But where ia the money to
come from ? Money can be loaned here
today on good security at five per ceuU
a month. We also talk of builJiug an
opera house, and declare that it will
pay I I think it would pay better to
invest our spare dimes in corn for the
starring thousands of our State, many
of them the widows and children of
soldiers who died fighting for Georgia,
and do without Italian operas foe the
present.”
The money to build the Railroad will
come from the pockets of the capitalists,
if not of the South, then of the hortk,
Propositions have come from both sec
tions.
The point in regard to supporting the
poor of the State in preference to build
ing an opera house, ia apparently, a
good one; but the latter enterprise will
do good to the poor, also, by enabling
clerks and laboring men, with a little
spare means, to iurest in a profitable
enterprise, and by giving employment
to mechanics and laborers in the erec
tion of the building.
It is not a good argument that the
improvement and beautifying of a City,
or the prosperity of a community should
be entirely stopped in order to support
the poor. The argument works better
the other way. Build up, improve,
work, work. This will give employment
to the needy, circulate cnpital, increase
business, and do more to relieve the ne
cessities of the poor than to give them a
few dollars every now and then, barely
enough to furnish provisions for a short
time, without giving them employment
to provide tor the future.
Let as, then, by all means help the
poor; and by all means have the opera
house, the street railroad, new manufac
tories, and any and everything that will
tend to build up the City, increase its
trade, and support the poor.
An Opera House.
We suggested, some time since, the
propriety of building an Opera House
in this City. We then set. forth the ad
vantages arising from the existence of
such a building in our midst. Now, we
have a suggestion to make. It is this :
Purchase the present building known as
Concert Hall, and enlarge it to the
proper dimensions; add the necessary
improvements in the interior, and make
a handsome entrance either on Broad or
Ellis street, as may be deemed best.
Competent architects say the work can
be done at a reasonable expense. Let
a Joint Stock Association be organized,
with the shares so small that all who feel
disposed can take stock in it, and go to
work at once with the bnilding. This
plan is a feasible one, and, we have rea
son to believe, can be accomplished.
The enterprising proprietor of the Hall
is a gentleman who would throw no ob
stacle in the wav of the City’s improve
ment ; but would, on the contrary, do
all in his power to advance its interests.
Hence our reason for the opinion that
an acceptable arrangement could be
made with him in this regard.
The existence of such a place of
amusement is a necessity. People will
enjoy themselves, and merchants and
others seeking a place to trade or to re
side, will oftentimes prefer to visit a
city where such places exist It thns is
advantageous in a commercial point of
view, as well as in the other respects wc
have named, and should receive the
prompt and earnest consideration of our
citizens. < ,
As Ibtbeesiixo Law Case. —The
following report of an interesting law
case is from the New Orleans Times of
a late date:
Jean Baptiste Allison, a frecdman,
was indicted for committing a murder
on the 15th of July, ISGS. The defense
moved to (jaash the indictment, on the
ground that, at the time the defendant
is charged to have committed the mur
der, he was a slave, subject to the laws
of Louisiana relative to slaves, and
amenable to a special tribunal created
for their trial; that the effect of the
amendment of the Constitution of the
United States was to set him free and
abrogate all laws enacted for the pun
ishment of crimes committed by slaves.
The prosecution held that, under the
Louisiana Constitution of 1X64, the de
fendant had become a frecdman, and
was therefore amenable to the laws for
freed men.
Judge Fred Gates held that the Con
stitution of 1864 was illegal, and that
slavery was uot abolished iu the Parish
of St. Martin until December 6th, 1865,
when the General Assembly of the State
ratified the Constitutional Amendment
prohibiting slavery j that the defendant
was therefore a slave at the time he is
alleged to have committed the murder,
and that the motion to quash must pre
vail.
The validity of President Lincoln's
proclamation was not decided upon, as
St. Martin was one of the parishes ex
cepted from its operation.

CuoKvsxiicaaic, Macon Cos., A15.,1
September 26, 1866. j
Editor National Intelligencer:
Sir t 1 take this method of informing
you that I have in my possession a belt
reputed to he the property of Gen. Mc-
Pherson. I cannot vouch for its iden
ty, but will describe it, and probably
some of his staff officers will know
whether it is genuine. On the left of
the buckle is a lion's head in bas-relief,
from the mouth of which three gold
chains are-attached to a shield. In the
'center of the shield is au e igle holding
in bis mouth a streamer, which bears
the motto: “E pluribus uniim.” The
belt is gilt, with the exceptiou of two
narrow blue stripes running its entire
lecgtli. *
I would have made known this fact
loag ere this, but I was not positively
certain whether it was really tbe pro
perty of Gen. McPherson, nor am I yet,
but if i( is genuine, I am confident it
will be prized and cherished .by those
who are near and dear to him, as he was
loved an<l admired not only by his awn
soldiers, but by every true soldier of the
Southern army.
It may not be amiss to state that I
came in possession of the belt imme
diately after the battle in front of At
lanta, having bought it from a soldier
of the Texas Brigade.
Any relatives of the deceased entitled
to it can obtain the belt by addressing
me at Chuunennuggee, Macon county,
Alabama. G. Elmore Bukukss,
Late Captain U. S. Army.
Dame Fashion’s Latest Dbcrxes.—
A New York correspondent of a West
ern paper says that the mysterious mem
bers of the handicraft which carries out
the decrees of Dame Fashion, and at
once furnishes taste and clothing to the
American people, have just issued the
following regulations for winter wear.
The fall openings are justover, and these
decrees are the result and are in conso
nance with the latest displays :
DECREE I —OS DRESSES.
There is to be no anarchy in the cut
of ladies’ winter apparel. * They are to
have two distinct costumes for morning
and evening wear—the former short;
the latter, for dinner toilets, soirees, etc.,
are to have trains, and such trains as
they never had. The two extremes, of
course, will be favored on the same day.
The evening robes are to be richly
trimmed with every kind of silk em
broidery and chenille, and are to have
both bodies and waistbands, in prefer
ence to the Princess form, which is all
body and skirt in one.
DECREE ll ON CRINOLINES.
There are to be worn with these
dresses two distinct crinolines ; one a
little, round, insignificant hoop, as flexi
ble as a willow, for the short morning
skirts; the other, a long train crinoline,
like a peacock’s tail, expanding out, for
'the evening splendor. Ladies, bo it un
derstood, are never to goon foot in their
trains, and consequently there will he
no necessity for tying up skirts with
strings nnd loops.
DECREE 111 PANTALETS OB TROUSERS.
Trousers are to be actually and posi
tively worn, but not exactly ala Bloom
er, but to avoid the exposure consequent
on the use of niters. These trousers
will be worn with elastics at the anklesi
not the knees, ala Turque. They are
to be made of taffeta, the same shade
as the short under petticoats.
DECREE IV —BONNETS.
Tho newest bonnets are the Marie
Antoinettes, and they will go through
the winter. They have flat crowns and
hat rirns, which, however, come down at
the ears. Catalaines, decrees Madame
Railings, of Canal street, who is the
great authority here among milliners,
as Madame Deinorest is among dress
makers, and has the superior taste and
stock of New York—Catalaines, she
says, will last a long time. Her richest
are made ot velvet and edged with
velvet vino or oak leaves, having jet
pendants at all points. The most lash
ionable flower is the nasturtium, which
is of & rich apricot glow and looks so
well iu velvet and lace drapery. It is
not true that the ladies are to wear
those horrid coal-scuttle shapes which
have been seen in shop windows.
DECREE V —JACKK+S, St.EF.VEB, TRIM
MINOS, ETC.
Jackets are to be rich velvet patelot
sac* or pcplum casaques, both richly
embroidered. The narrow and wide
mediaeval sleeves will be equally fash
ionable ; but where the latter is adopt
ed, a small, narrow undcrsleeve tnuAt be
worn for warmth, and sit close to the
wri»t. Nothing ever seen in passemen
terie can equal the richness of the
mantle trimmings—cord, jets, tassels,
streamers, rosettes, chains, brande
bourgs—anything and everything that
is expensive and extravagant.
DECREE VI—SILKS.
The newest silks are striped, plain,
and figured. A favorite stripe will be
shaded grey or bright grass green.
The best dress-makers advise -plain
silks for fall dress, on account of the
latitude left for trimming.
The Day the Lkoisi.atube Meets.—
The Macon Telegraph baa tho fol
lowing : . - ■ 1 ; ' r •
Macon, Oct. 5, 1866.
M KBBKH. Editor* : By reason of the
diversity of opinion which prevails in
relation to the time ot meeting of the
next General Assembly of t(ie State, I
Havre been requested to call attention of
all concerned to the following provisiou
of fte new Constitution :
“The first meeting of the General As
afltqbly under this Constitution shall be
on the first Monday in December next,
after which it shall meet annually on the
first Thursday in November, or on such
other day as the General Aisembly may
day having been prescribed,
die .first Thursday in November is the
day of meeting.
Very respectfully,
John B. Weems,
Secretary of the Senate.
"Padvrs Bete.”—There is a French
song which has for a chorus, the words:
“Jbunre Betel I’auvre Betel" (literally,
poor beast 1 poor beast!) and after read
ing the following awful hits at “poor
Ben,” the reader will feel disposed to
apply the French ohorua to him, and
exclaim, u Panvre Betel Pauvre Belt /”
The Louisville (Ky.) Courier says:
Ben. Butler was expected in Evans
ville tho other day to make a speech in
behalf of-the Jacobins. The Courier
of that city squibs as follows of the
prospective coming:
Take “ Time by the Forelock." —Silver
and gold watches should be buried with
care and at ouce. Put them down in
the holes at least thirty feet deep.
Reasou—Thief Batler is coming 1
Bury Your Valuables.— lt is by no
means certain that by burying gold and
silver ware it is safe from discovery
Oiir wealthy citizens should attend to
the interment of their valuables at mid
night, and let no one about the premises
have the least information as to the lo
cality. If you are not very discreet,
Butler will get them sure.
Change of Table Cutlery.—Vi e learn
that the proprietors of the American
House, Sherman House, Kentucky
House, and other hotels, have buried
their silver table-ware, and are now
using iron spoons, knives and forks.
Cause—Butler is coming. Sensible
men!
Hide Your Spoons. —The announce
ment that “Picayune Butler is coming
to town,” made in the Courier from a
rumor in circulation in the city day be
fore yesterday, has occasioned great
uneasiness among house-keepers. The
people generally yesterday were employ
ed burying their valuables. We hope
they will be successful in getting them
out of his reach.
Italian Marriage Brokers. —ln
Genoa, these are regular marriage
brokers, who have pocket-books filled
with the names of the marriageable
girls of the different classes, with
notes of their figures, personal at
tractions, fortunes, and other circum
stances. These brokers go about
endeavoring to arrange connections in
the same offhand, mercantile manner
which they would bring to bear upon
a merchandise transaction; and when
they succeed, they get a commission
of two or three per cent, upon tho
portion, with such extras or bonuses
as may be voluntarily bestowed by the
party. Marriage at Genoa is thus
oftentimes simply a matter of busi
ness calculation, generally settled by
the parents or relations, who often
draw up the contract before the parties
have seen one another; and it is
only when everything else is arranged,
and a few days previous to the mar
riage ceremony, that the future hus
band is introduced to his intended
partner for life. Should he find fault
with her manners or appearance, he
may annul the contract, on condition
of defraying the brokerage, and any
other expenses incurred.
The New Orleans Riot.—The New
York papers contain two dispatches
giving further and contradictory ver
sions of tho origin of the late riot at
New Otleans, but with the partizan
purposes now in view with some, it
does not seein that any real good is to
be gained by following the matter up.
Mayor Monroe, in a message to the
City Council of New Orleans, contends
that the following facts are conclusively
established by eye-witnesses:
First. That the Police were first
fired upon on the neutral ground, while
discharging their duty, by members of
tbe Convention. Second. That the first
shots fired at the Institute were trom
the windows of the edifice, by white and
black people within; and asserts that
it was reserved for General Baird to
unlock the prison cells and let the
black and white ringleaders loose upon
the city, without hope of identification,
to make political capital for Radical
enemies of the reconstruction policy of
his commander, President Johnson/
On the other hand, the Military Com
mission who undertook to investigate
the riot, are said to have just made a
report, declaring that three-fourths of
the mob was composed of the late Con
federate soldiers, and that the action of
Mayor Monroe precipitated the riot and
the consequence that ensued.
The New York Cotton Circulars.
—A New York dispatch, dated October
3, »ays: Wright’s Circular, per the
Java, to-day, says the accounts this
week from nearly all parts of the Cotton
growing regions have been more dis
couraging than any yet received,
Neill Brothers say great and general
injury has been done during the past
three or four weeks by rains or worms,
or both, in some part of nearly every
Cotton State, except the more Northerly
ones, and whatever may have been the
prospects or possibilities heretofore, a
large reduction will have to be made
for these disasters. This circular pre
dicts a break down in the great specu
lative mania here, unless it is supported
by a stronger movement at Liverpool
than appears probable while Stocks in
Europe are so heavy. Cotton pui
chnsed in this market to-day could not
be laid down in Liverpool for less than
while the latest quotation from the
latter market(lhat of yesterday) reported
the price as only 16d. The advance in
this market during the week has been
six cents per pound.
—The proposition made to send from
California a section of the “original big
tree?' to the World’s Fair at Paris, is
said by Dr. Macgowan to bo impracti
cable, for want of a sKw long enough to
cut it. The cutting would require a saw
forty feet long.
—Ladies who aro fond of cultivating
flowers in the house, will find great ben
efit to the plants by spreading a coating
of moss over the eitrth in their Power
pots. This keeps the water from evap
orating, and tho temperature more uni
form.
Treasitrb Trove —A Curious Relic.
—An ancient gold cross wss found last
wiuter in an excavation in the ruine of
Clare Castle, in England, of which the
Queen desired to know tbe history. As
treasure trove it became the property qf
-the Crown, and by the Queen’s com
mand, tbe antiquarians have found out
all about it. There is strong reason,
they say, for believing that it formed at
one time a part of the royal collection
of jewels belonging to King Edward
111, for it is recorded that he had
among his jewels, kept tor safe preser
vation in the Tower of London, “un
croys <Tor double overe de trijftire que
est de la croys Jhesu Crist, et ne puit
esire preise" (A cross of gold which
represents the cross of Josus Christ, set
with pearls, and cannot be valued).
This description folly answers to tbe
cross found at Clare, for that had four
large pearls, one at each transverse
section of the cross, while the cross
itself, with the figure of our Saviour
upon it, was most beautifully foliated ;
at and the chain, about two feet long, was
of the richest description. How this
precious royal jewel came to be found
in the ruins of Clare Castle is thus ac
counted for:
“It was the common practice of our
sovereigns in former ages to bestow on
their children and grand-children, as
wedding gifts, rare jewels and relics;
and as Edward Ill’s grand-daughter,
Phillippa, was married to Edmond Mor
timer, the Lord of Clare, and upon her
marriage came to reside at tho Castle,
she in all probability had this jewel
given to her on this occasion, and it
was by her taken to the Castle, where
it got lost. What confirms this history
beyond all doubt, is the fact that this
particular jewel, before described in
old French, disappeared from that very
time from the numerous inventories
which are extant of the Royal jewels.
Thus this once royal jewel, which has
been buried at Clare, lost for five hun
dred years, has once more come into
royal possession.
THE second suow storm of the season
commenced this morning about daylight.
Don t know when it will stop. Judging
from present indications, the clerk of the
weather has lost the stopper. It would
seem strange to our friends in America,
after being blessed(?) with two or three
snow storms at this time of the year, to
see green-corn, tomatoes,, green-peas,
etc., for sale at stores and on the streets,
and last, but not the least, we to day
saw a gentle youth, over whose preco
cious head scarce a dozen summers has
gently passed, seated in quiet and con
scious dignity—on the ground—eating
a “chunk” of water-melon, undisturbed
by snow, cholera or any other man.
Such is life—in Colorado. —Black Hawk,
Colorado, Mining Journal, Sept. 19.
As an astonished Teuton once ob
served : “Vat a beebles ! Vat a goon,
dry.”
The Famine in India. —The progress
of the famine iu India is still continu
ing, and the mortality is ever increasing.
The state of tbe country is said to be
frightful. A correspondent of the Cal
cutta Guybilvar, of the Bth, who has
made a tour of the Mefueil, sends a nar
rative of suffering and death which has
rarely been paralleled even in the his
tory of such calamities. In four vil
lages which he visited, there were not
ten houre that did not contain one or
more dead bodies. In another small
place there were four or five hundred
dead, most of them unburied.
—Wm. Jones is collecting materials
for a Religious History of the Army of
Northern Virginia. Charles Gavarre is
writing a History qf Louisiana, and
William Gilmore Simms a History of
South Carolina, both of them for schools.
—The Board of Aldermen of New
York have adopted a resolution direct
ing the Street Commissioner to enter
into a contract for the erection of a
monument in Greenwood Cemetery to
deceased soldiers, at a cost not to exceed
$ 15,000.
