Narrow Escape.— Yesterday morn
ing about ten o’clock, while some work
men wore engaged in repairing the ohl
Printing Office building belonging to
Mr. Metcalf, and next to his office on
Mclntosh street—a portion of the heavy
brick cornice fell upon the staging,
causing it to give way. Fortunately
only one workman was on the part of
the staging which gave way—though
several had been there a moment before
—and he was precipitated to the side
walk and thence through a cellar door,
which wasopen, adistancein all of some
fifteen feet. He was severely bruised
about the head, but his injuries were
not believed to be dangerous. The
name of the injured man is Elisha Dag
nal. The accident was one which no
ordinary prudence could have pre
vented.
About Billiards. — This popular
gsme may be said to be the favorite
uationa! pastime. Certain it is, there is
no game so popular, so healthful, or so
free from objections of prudery and Pu
ritanic cant. It is of \'ery ancient ori
gin, having been played in Ireland, ac
cording to eminent authority, as early
as the second century, and it is believed
to date back to the time of the early
Persians. From the time of the fall of
the Roman Empire to 1099, we find no
record of the game. It was found by
the Templars in the Holy Land, and is
said to have been a favorite amusement
in the old monasteries, whose occupants
were prohibited from out door sports.
By the Knight Templars it was brought
to Europe, and continued in vogue until
they were overthrown. A game com
bining so much of taste and elegance
was peculiarly suited to the French,
and we find it patronized by Louis XI,
Maria Stuart, and Henry 111. Indeed,
the game has always found favor with
the French, and under the sanction of
the Royal family it found its way into
the best circles of Europe, and has long
been a favorite amusement in England,
Germany, Italy, and Sp lin. It was in
troduced into this country by the cava
liers who settled Virginia, and by the
jolly old Knickerbockers of Manhattan
Island. Literary men and women have
found in the game a most refreshing
relief from the cares of the library, and
Washington found respite from the cires
of State in the pleasing excitement of
this fascinating diversion.
At the opening of this century, the
number of billiard tables in this coun
try was quite limited ; now they are
numbered by tens of thousands, and the
establishment ol a genteel man of the
world is hardly complete without one.
It is stated that one firm alone sold 800
tables last year, and several large estab
lishments are kept busy supplying the
constantly increasing demand.
The champion player of America is—
we learn from a popular treatise on the
game, to which we are indebted for
some of the facts embraced in this arli
tde—Joseph Dixon, of Montreal, who
holds the gold mounted cue played
for in the Billiard Congress of 18(53.
He is matched to play against Mr. Mc-
Devitt, of New York City, at an eaily
day.
Apropos of this “ noble game,” we
learn that Clara’s Hall is now being
fitted up as a Billiard Room and will
be opened in a short time in a style
nevfer before attempted in the city.
Without knowing who the party is, who
has the enterprise in charge, we cordi
ally wish him or them success —for that
which tends to elevate and refine the
taste for popular amusement, exerts a
salutary influence upon the public
moral 8.
Prompt Action.—A writer, over the
signature of “ Georgian,” writes as fol
lows to the editor of the Rome Courier ;
Sir— ln your issue of yesterday,
March sth, you deprecate that winch
you term “indecent” haste in taking
action in conformity with Gov. Brown’s
suggestions. Allow me to suggest onu
reason for prompt action : If the true
men of Georgia do not form a Constitu
tion in conformity with the requirements
of the Military Bill, there are others
who will, and with the least possible
delay.
I' is estimated by informed persons,
that there are not less than 20.000
“ Loyal Leaguers” in Georgia. These
men do not desire the adoption of the
Constitutional Ameudment by us. They
wish to call a convention and construct
a Constitution which will exclude from
voting all who took any part in the re
bellion. This small minority, with the
negroes under such a State Constitution,
will be the ruling power of the State.
The Constitutienal Amendment disqual
ifies for office, (Outdoes notdistranclnse,)
about 5 per cent, of our population.
The military bill dislranchise9 this five
per cent, and no more. This is done;
we cannot help it. Is it wise, by delay,
to allow the 95 per cent, to be also dis
franchised ? These fears of the writer
are not groundless. He knows whereof
he affirms. As this new Constitution
will be framed in Georgia, is it uol best
that it should be frurned by those to the
‘ ‘ manor born V”

Washikotoh, March U—p. M.
The Militia hilt cornea up to morrow.
Mr. Trumhell reported Mr. Wilson’* as
a substitute for the Honee Supplementary
bill. It modifies the oath somewhat, and
allows tho commanding General to delegate
powers to acting Governors.
HOUSE. :
The Committee of tbo Whole, on the bill
appropriating a million to the Southern
destitute, was considered. Mr. Wood op
posed the measure. The South only wanted
civil rights, and Northern oapitnl would
develop their resources. Mr. Williams
thought Congressional bounty could be
better applieef to the widows and orphans,
utde so by the rebels. If any are to suf
ler, let it be the disloyal, and let God Al
mighty populate that country with people
loyal to tho flag.
Mr. Chandler denounced the measure as
intended to bolster the Freedmen’s Bureau.
It was a wolf ia sheep's clothing.
Mr. Bayor hoped the bill wonld pass. The
Freedmen’s Bureau was the best means of
distributing relief to the necessities of the
poor. If this bill failed, he didn't wish to
hear anything more of Ireland's sympathy.
He deolared the analogy between Southern
and Irish people complete.
Mr. Butler offered a substitute that a
million should go to the widows and or
phans of those starved st Andersonville
and elsewhcrei
Messrs. Butler and Logan made bitter
speeehes. Many Republicans spoke warmly
in apposition to the substitute, and in favor
of tho bill.
The Committee finally rose without ac
tion, and tho House adjourned.
