Meeting in Atlanta
Atlanta, March 4—5 P. M.
Meeting to-day was large. The oppo
nents of Governor Brown’s policy were out
io large numbers and succeeded in break
iug up the Meeting. After which, they
organized a meeting—passed Bunkum reso
lutions, and adjourned.
The recontftructionists havo called an
other meeting to-night at 7 o’clock. The
opposition threaten tu eqiielck it.
The above is a copy of a private
dispatch received in this City last
evening.
We hope the political leaders and
would-be office-holders will not attempt
to repeat the tactics of 1860 and 1861.
The time for ‘‘squelching'’ public
expression of the people’s wishes, we
believe, has passed, and office-holders
may as well retire upon the honors
they have had, and make place for our
young men.
Lecture To Niout. —The Lecture
heretofore announced by Rev, J. O. A.
Clarke will he delivered to night, at Ma
sonic Hall. The subject of the Lecture
—“ihe Altar, the Tabernacle, theTem
pie, and their Worship”—is one of in
terest to all religious denominations,
and, in the hands of the able speaker,
will be attractive and instructive to all.
I lie use of vocal and instrumental music
pi divine worship will be especially con
sidered. Mr. Clark has been obliged,
from failing health, to abandon his pas
toral labors, and has yielded to the in
vitation of his numerous friends in the
city to deliver this lecture. The price of
admission will be sl. Tickets may be
had at the Book stores and at the door.
Ihe proceeds, it is proper to add, are
tor the benefit of Mr. Clark and his
•unily, and we know no one who has
hlgiler cluil »s upon the public eonsid
eration than this able and zealous cler
gyman. He has devoted his life to offices
of benevolence. He labored assiduously
during the war for the relief and care
of the sick and wounded, having been a
leading sp i ri t in the Georgia Hospital
and Relief Association, which dispensed
nearly or q u i l 0 a mi U ion of dollaM
among the Georgia soldiers. He is now
cut off from his usual resources, and it
is but a fitting recognition of his devoted
services in the gentle offices of charity
and benevolence, to give him a crowded
house. Remember— to-night, a t g
o’clock, at Masonic Hall.
Death or a Good Citium -Mr. J.
E. Munger, for many years engaged in
tha Jewelry business in tliifn ied at
his residence on Greene itroet, nn a
day morning, of conaumption. \j r .
Munger waa a gentleman of unobtrusive
manners, and possessed in an eminent
degree those sterling qualities of mind
and heart which constitute the good
citisea. His integrity was unspotted—
his word was his bond—and in aB the
relations of tile he was faithful and just.
He was buried on yesterday at 11
o’clock, front St. Paul’s Church, to whose
communion he had recently been ad
mitted. He was a member of Georgia
Ist Division Independent Fire Company,
aud his funeral was attended by the
members of tlut Company in a body,
and by a largo concourse of citizens.
He leaves a wife and three interesting
children, who have the earnest sym
pathy of tbe whole community in their
bereavement.
Medical College Museum. The
public will be gratified to learn that the
Janitor of the Medical College, Mi*
Rich, has been authorized by tbe Trus
tees to throw open the Museum con
liected with the College to the free in
spection of visitors for two or three days.
At the invitation of Mr. Rich, we looked
through the Institution on yesterday,
and were surprised to find so large and
interesting a collection, in the various
departments. In anatomy there are
mummies, and skeletons of meu ani
mals, fish, birds, and insects ; in miner
alogy and conchology, the cabinets are
quite large; there are manikins and
representations in plaster and wax, as
well as preserved specimens iu alcohol,
representing alt phases of diseases and
malformations. We were much inter'
ested iu a specimen of the devil fish’
preserved in alcohol, and are satisfied
that Victor Hugo had seen one. There
are Indian implements and fossil re
mains in great variety. In short, the
collection is worth seeing—and we ad
vise all who have a spare hour, to avail
themselves ot the opportunity of obtain
ing valuable knowledge,, and gratifying
a laudable curiosity. The Museum is
in the most complete order, and contains
nothing calculated to shock the sens!
bilities of the most fastidious. Parents
should by all means take their children.
It will be opened at 9 o’clock this morn
ing, and Mr. Rich will be iu attendance
throughout the day.
An Error Corrected. —The Charles
ton Mercury, in noticing our reference
to the “quick work” of the steamship
Lulu, which vessel we stated had arrived
at Charleston, Feb. 9th, and delivered
goods in this City on the 19th, says that
“the Lulu did not arrive in Charleston
until February 12th, instead of the 9th,
as stated, and that tbe only authority
for ihe latter was a typographical error
in the marine news of the Guurier, which
might easily have been discovered by
an attentive reader.”
Well, accepting the correction, it will
still be observed that six days elapsed
before the goods referred to were deliv
ered in this City. We are still of the
the opinion that such “quick work” is
behind the times; and there can he no
good excuse for it. We do not desire
to do the steamship Lulu or the South
Carolina Railroad injustice; but we
think that their own interests require
greater dispatch in the delivery of goods
iii the interior. The mail goes through
fruin this City to New York in two days;
and wc do not see any good reason why
freights should require six days for trans
mission Iroin Charleston to Augusta.
Mulberry Farm, March Ist, 1837.
Messrs. Editors :At the request of
Dr. J. 15. Black, I visited, with him. on
yesterday evening, a lady who had, two
days before, given birth to (4) four
living babies—all boys.
The chiirden were all well formed and
fully developed, and was supposed would
weigh about three pounds each. 'lhey
were living and doing well when I vis
ited them.
The’mother, (Mrs. George Ileyes), a
lady about thirty years of age, was also
doing well. The family live in the lower
edge of Barnwell district, about ten
miles from Midway, on the South Caro
lina Railroad. In these days when bread
is so scarce and hard to get, and we
have to depend mainly on our own ex
ertions for a living, is it an affliction or
a blessing? *
Tiie Present Conurkss.—Only
nineteen out of the thirty-seven States
are represented in the new session of
Congress. New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, Kentucky, Tenues
see and California have not yet chosen
their Representatives. The 30 members
from these States, with those excluded
from the ten Southern States, leaves
only 161 as the whole number that can
be present. According to the usage of
the last few years, a majority of these,
or 81 Totes, will be a quorum in a House
which legally consists of 243 members.
New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode
Island, will elect new members in March
and April; the rest of the States named
will he unrepresented until August and
September, when their elections occur.
United States Soldiers and the
Mexican Struggle.—A letter from
Havana, January 19th, containing Mex
ican advices to the 6th January gives
the following :
According to the Mexican Times , on
the departure of the French troops the
capital will be attacked by a force of
15,000 of the enemy, but it is of opinion
that it would require 40,000 men and a
three months siege to take the place.
Major Gen. Lew. Wallace is said to
have been named a General of Ilivißion
in Juarez's army, and according to the
above authority, more than 200 officers
of the United States Army have joined
Juarez. The same paper estimates at
$120,000,000 the value of the property
confiscated by the republicans belonging
to imperialists in the States ofUurango,
Chihuahua, Zacatecas and San Luis.
Hon Juan Flores of Durango, who re
ceived from Maximilian the Cross of the
Order of Guadaloupe, has had his twen
’ ty-three estates, which are valued as
' worth $11,000,000, confiscated by
J uarez.

PUBLIC MEETING.
Mr. Editor: Have tho kindness to
pstmit me a word or two on “the'Attra
liou.”
It is known that tbe military bill, hav
been vetoed by His Excellency, the
President, has Been passed by both
Houses ol Congress by tho requisite ina*
jority, and may now be regarded the
law. 1 hose who hope for rescue from
Us provisions, at the hands of Ihe Su
preme Court, base that coufideuce upon
an illusion—-that body having, as we are
reliably informed, recently passed a reso
lution, for the present, not to iuterfere
with political questions. »
It is idle to talk about “passive re
sistance" and masterly iWhctivity. ”
These will avail us nothing, but are
much more likely to work us harm, and
harm onlv. The time for action has ar.
rived. Some seem to think that the path
marked out by Congress may be pursued
by ourselves, or -it will not be followed
by any. This, too, is an illusion. If
we do not provide for forming a Consti
tution, as per requirement, one will be
formed for us by the new body politic*
The military bill carefully abstains
from intimating any mode by which a
Convention can be organized for the pur
pose indicated. Logically, there are but
two ways lor accomplishing the object.
The first is that of primary meetings .in
each county, by which delegates to a
Central Convention may be chosen,
which latter organization may fix
the number of delegates and
appoint Commissioners to superin
tend an election for delegates to a Con
stitutional Convention. The other mode
is that the Legislature may be speedily
convened, in order that it may pass a
bill providing for holding a Convention
under the restrictions of this act of Con
gress. This latter mode, for reasons
patent to every thinking mind, is essen
tially preferable.
The first step with us, is to hold pri
mary meetings in the several counties in
the State, for the purpose of requesting
Gov. Jenkins to convene the Legislature.
It is said that we need not be in huste
about this matter ; that much time must
needs be consumed in the preparation,
etc. Let us not by this be deterred from
acting; for, supposing that the Governor
calls the Legislature together at once,
Fall will be upon us ere the Convention
shall have assembled.
The writer has reasons for believing
first a majority of the legalized voters of
Richmond county, under the present
State Constitution, approve these sug
gestions, and it is, therefore, respectfully
proposed that our people hold a County
Meeting at an early day, say Saturday)
the 9th inst. Citizen.
Augusta, March 4th, 1867.
River News. —The steamer Two Boys
arrived from Savannah on Sunday
and leaves for Savannah to-day. River
quite full.
——
Meetitg in Hancock. A meeting
has been called at Sparta on Saturday
next, to take into consideration the
course to be pursued in view the late
action of Congress.
Rumored Homic de. —The Savannah
News says it is rumored that Mr. Geo.
T. Hayward, one of the most respected
planters in Beufort District, was found
a few days ago at his plantation, shot
through his forehead. The report of
firearms was heard in the vicinity, and
it is believed that he was shot by a negro
formerly in his employ.
Edgefield Court.—Court is in ses
sion at Edgefield this week. The Ad
vertiser says that nine hundred writs
have been returned, a large number of
which are summary processes, and many
are suits of administrators. If anything
of interest occurs we hops to have a re
port of it for our readers.
Seizure of a Distillery.—We learn
that the United States authorities on
Sunday seized a distillery which has for
some time been in operation without li
cense on the premises of a Mr. Caspar,
in the lower part of Broad street. The
distillery being a contraband institution
was confiscated, and will, we presume,
in due time be sold.
Troops in Tennessee.—The Tennes
see Legislature unanimously passed a
joint, resolution calling upon .the Federal
Government for triops to protect the
people of that State. The Conservative
Members voted for it on the ground that
its adoptian would save them from
Brownlow’s militia.
Republican Majorities.—The Re
publican majority in New Hampshire
last year was 4.65 G; in Connecticut,
541. As there is a split in the Republi
can party in both those States, the
Democracy are hopeful of success.
Judge Ekskink’s Opinion.—Judge
Erskine, of the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Geor
gia, made a decision, nearly a year ago,
in the ease of Win. Law, Esq., that the
Test Oath is unconstitutional. He
delayed the publication of his decision
in deference to the Supreme Court of
the United States, which had the ques
tion under consideration.
Memphis. —A correspondent of the
Avalanche says that, to his personal
knowledge, fifteen hundred substantia]
houses have been erected in Memphis
during the last twelve months, and that
most of them are the property of the
“disfranchised class.” He predicts that
Memphis is destined to be the commer
cial centre of the United States.
Memphis Bulletin. —Cnpt. Raphael
Semmes is announced as editor-in-chief
of the Memphis Bulletin, with Col. L. J.
Dupree as associate. Col. Dupree was
connected with the Register, in Atlanta,
during the war, and is one of the most
finished writers of the day.
Corrox Factories in Tuix&fir—
Theie are now thirteen Cottott fictorie#
in operation in Tennessee, representing
nearly a million of dellars, and giving
employment to over nine huodfed ope
ratives. There are also in tb* State
several .flourishing factories fur tke man
ufactory of steam engines, Cotton press
es, and agricultural implements.
Action or the States. —The- North
Carolina House of Representatives,
after animated discussion, referred to
the Committee on Federal Relations a
resolution declaring the willingness of
the State to accept the proposed plan
of Congress for the reconstruction of tbe
South.
The Virginia Legislature is to be
convened in extra session as soon as
the present session expires, which will
be ou Saturday, to take into considera
tion the Congressional plan of recon
struction.
Food for the South.— Tbe New
York Tribune, alluding to the action of
Congress, in sending a Government
vessel to convey the contributions from
New York tq the South says ;
We are amazed at the appathy with
which the appeals hitherto made for our
starving cppntrymen have been met.
As yet, apart Irom what our noble wo
men have raised, only $35,000 have
been contributed. Ten years ago a like
appeal would have been responded to
at the rate of hundreds of thousands per
day. Are these people less near to us
because of their need ? Let ns resolve
that at least SIOO,OOO shall be contrib
uted this week by our city. Let us not
be shamed by St. Louis, which bae give
en $126,000.

How to Kill Little Girls.—
Warmly and fashionably dressed moth
ers may be seen on the street, leading
their shivering little daughters around,
with hardly enough clothing on their
lower extremities to protect them from
sight,, to say nothing of the piercing
blasts. An exchange says :
Yesterday, we saw a little girl led by
its mother through the street. Her
little collar aud muff and hat were ol
the warmest fur, and well she needed
them, for it was bitter cold ; but her
little legs, bare aud blue, between her
stockings and skirts, told a shivering
tale.
Who does not daily see tho same
thing? Little frail girls, with head
aud shoulders bundled in unneeded
furs, while from the feet to a point
above the knee, the little darlings are
almost literally naked. Os course
mothers who thus dress their children
are very far from intending to kill them
or render them permanent invalids,
but such is the probable result of this
fashionable exposure. It is true that
most children have their limbs well
protected, because most mothers have
an intelligent regard for the health of
their offspring, but there are many who
are clad as we have mentioned, and to
the mothers of these we address our
appeal.
“As little girls are now dressed, their
skirts are no protection against the
wind or cold below the knee; aud
what do they have as a substitute ?
Linen drawers, reaching just below the
knee, and there meeting the top ol
sloe-kings which usually have ah iut
half the warmth possessed by men’s
socks. Let us compare this armor with
the clothing of boys and men, who have
at least five times the power of endur
anee possessed by the little girl. The
father of this same little six year old
girl would consider himself coldly clad,
and a certain candidate for rheumatism
if his lower extremities were not pro
tected against the wintry blast by first,
thick wool socks reaching more than
half way to the knee; second, wool
drawers reaching from the waist to the
feet; third, bootlegs of double leather
reaching nearly to the knee; and
fourth, thick woolen pantaloons cover
ing all else, and reaching to the foot.
And yet that same father permits his
delicate, blue vciued child to go out iu
winter with legs encased in a single
thickness ot linen. How would he like
to walk in the winter streets clad in
linen pantaloons and nothing else ?”
—The Missouri Consolidated Mining
Company, in the prosecutiou of their
mining operations, uncovered a heavy
vein of pure lead last week. This vein
is over eight feet thick, and is said to be
the most wonderful deposit yet discov-
I ered in the State.

The Atlanta meeting.
Atlanta, March 4.
A meeting of oitizens .▼»» hcM here to
day which was largely atte.oded.
Resolutions, recommending action tinder
the Shormun bill, and approving Governor
Brown’s patriotlo advice and conciliatory
spirit, were offered; bat beine objected to
by many persons present, tbe meeting
adjourned 'till this evening.
After the adjournment, tho politicians
and ex-office-holders organized anew meet
ing, and passed resolutions characterizing
the Sherman bill as harsh, unjust, and un
constitutional-extolling tho course of Andy
Johnson as nuble and patriotic—that the
Southern people ha*e manhood and honor
left, which must Dot be bartered away by
approving provisions of tho Sherman bill—
(this means, “save the whole crew,” o la
Chronicle and Sentinel.—Ed.)—recommend
ing Southern Governors to take measures to
test the Constitutionality of the Bill before
the Supreme Court.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Congressional •
Washington, March 4—P. M.
SENATE.
Mr. Wade was conducted to the Chair f
and Mr. Forney was then elected Secretary.
The Senato then adjourned.
It is not probable that the President will
send a formal message to Congress to-mor
row. It will be very brief.
HOUSE.
The House proceeded to the election of
officers. The Republicans nominated Col
fax, who recoiveJ 127 votes. The Democrats
nominated S. S. Marshal who received 30
votes.
Mr. Brooks referred to the fact that seven
teen States were unrepresented, of which,
seven were of the original thirteon, and pre
sented a protest from tho Democrats against
further proceedings. The clerk refused to
receive the protest. Mr. Colfax resumed
his seat, and members were sworn in. Mr.
Colfax announced that the President had
signed within the legal time, all bills passed
within ten days; except that appropriating
fifty thousand dollars for the Paris exposi
tion, which was not engrossed. A protest
accompanied the army appropriation bill
to the following effect: There are provi
sions in the act to which he must call atten
tion. The Second section contains provi
sion virtually in certain cases depriving the
President of his Constitutional functions as
Commander-in Chief of the army. The
sixth section denies to States of the Union
the Constitutional right to protect them
.selves by means of their own militia. These
provisions aro out of place in an appropri
ation bill, lie is compelled to defeat
necessary appropriations if ho withhold
his signature, • and he thcreforo signs it
with a protest against the provision
named.
The rules of tho last house were adopted,
except during this week it shall be iu order
to suspend them. Carried by 120 to 30.
The House then adjourned.
Miscellaneous.
f Washington, March 4.
All the great appropriations except tho
deficiency bill, passed. The latter includes
the pay of Southern Treasury Ageing, over
which a big fight was made.
The military appropriation bill, in
volving tho disbandment of Southern
militia, and placing the General Army in a
great measure independent of tho Presi
dent and the War Department, is not yet
vetoed or signed.
Both Houses adjourned at noon.
The bankrupt, defioiency, aud army ap
propriation bills, wanting ihe«President’s
signature, failed to become laws.
The Clerk is now organizing the new
Congress.
The Judiciary Committee reports that
while imputing no improper motives to
officers of tho Government, they are con
strained to say that they did not exercise
duo diligence in arresting Surratt.
Washington, March 3 —P. M.
The Senate passed tho bill adoptod by the
House increasing the duty on wool, and it
now goes to the President.
The Indemnity bill passed and goes to
the President. Auong other things it for

The Judiciary Committee reported im
mediately after the Impeachment Commit
tee instructed them. Ashley submitted
facts supporting the charge. The Com
mittee have worked without intermission.
The investigation oovers broad ground, but
has not approached a completion. The
evidence was plaoed with the Clerk for the
use of the Committee of the next Congress.
Sufficient evidence has been gathered to
justify and demand further investigation.
Rogers submits a minority report, which
says :
There is no evidence sustaining the
charges of hnpeaobment. They are utterly
foundationless so far as all proof before the
Committee is concerned ; and the Committee
has been very industrious. Ho deprecates
further investigations, as tending foolishly
to excite the country.

There is considerable excitement about
tho misapprehension regarding the signing

too modest to disturb tbe proceeedings of
the House, and laid them gently on tbe
table—the bankrupt bill along with the
others.
