What is the course that patriotic members of the Legislature should pursue- tor the interests of the Stale? A moment’s reflection will boubless satisfy vour mind lhal it would be improper for me to give; an opinion in repousse to your first inquiry, while I remain upon the Supreme Bench, as it is by no means impossible, that, in the course ol events, this very ques tion may come Indore the court for adjudication.

He often talked lo Mr. Stanton of resigning or pressing on Congress the propriety of giving control of the army and navy to military men. It was during this period that he conceived the idea of putting Hooker in command of the Army of the Potomac, and have him make an effort for success. Fiom the time lhal Hooker began to march until the smoke of battle had cleared from the fatal field of Chancellorsville, he scarcely knew what it was to sleep.— It will be remembered the fight lasted three days. During the first two days it looked as it Hooker was about to accomplish what so many had failed to do, but on the third day the usual half hour dispatches began to make matters look worse. The whole day Mr. L incoin was miserable. He ate nothing and vould see no one but Mr. Stanton* As it grew dark the dis patches ceased coming altogether. The President walked from the White House to the War Department and anxiously inquired for Hooker. The night was dark and stormy—about as mean a night as was ever experienced in Washington. About seven o’clock the President closed his visits to the War Department. An hour afterward a dispatch of an indefinite character was received and Mr. Stanton hurried with it to the White House. He found Mr. Lincoln walking the room, and as he entered, the agonizing appearance of the man so terrified him that it was with diffi eultv he could speak. Mr. Lincoln walked to him like a wildman, and seiii»g the dispatch from his hand, read it and simply remarked, “Stanton, there's hope yet!” At Mr. Stanton’s solicitation he accompanied him to the War Department, where they agreed to spend the time together until some thing definite was heard from Hooker. For four hours, the longest and most wearisome of his life, said Mr. Stanton, they wailed before the dispatch an nouncing the retreat of Hooker was re ceived. When Mr. Lincoln read it, he threw up his hands and exclaimed, “My God, Stanton, our cause is lost. We are ruined, we are ruined, and such a fearful loss of life. My God, this is more than I can endure.” He stood trembling like a leaf, his face of a ghastly hue, the perspiration rolling down his brow. He put on his hat and coat, and began pacing the floor. For five minutes he was silent, and then j turning to Stanton, he said,” “ll I am not about enriy to-morrow don’t feel alarmed. Defeated again and so many killed. What will the people say ?” As he made the remark he went to open the door to go out. His action alarmed Mr. Stanton, and he stopped him and entreated him to retain, that they might talk and act like men.— With difficulty they had him return, and Mr. Stanton began to try to cheer him. He finally got him lo assent to retire to bed, and lea\e for the at my together next morning—which they did. Lincoln afterward told Mr. Stanton that when he spoke to him about not being alarmed if he was not about the next morning, he had fully made up his mind to go to the Potomac and drown himself. Mr. Stanton said We thought at the time ho contemplated suicide, and never felt so frightened during his lifetime. 183-j 183:) 1840 1841 lr>4'-i 1843 1844 1845 184G 1847 1848 1840 T-50 1851 1852 Mill's.

The 7,715 miles bid t in 1869 must have cost at least three hundred mil lions of dollars, (which would not be quite $10,000 per mile ; and the cost of our railroads and their equipment averages more than that sum.) Is it a wonder that wc fall in debt toEurope? Of course, we need railroads, and must build them. We shall probably have one hundred thousand miles in operation before the close of this cen tury. But we cannot build all we need next year; and there must be a pull up, or another 1S-37 will be down upon us.

A Substitute for Tobacco—A correspondent of a Calcutta paper makes a curious suggestion lo tobacco smokers. Alluding to the alleged dis covery, by a Parisian chemist, that watercress is a perfect antidote to nic otine. he says : It lately entered into my head lo try how some ol it dried would smoke. To my great satisfac tion, I found that, when put into ny pipe, after a couple of days’ drying in the sun, it had all the flavor of the best Cavendish without the treacle—and it was even stronger than Cavendish.— Here then, is a perfect substitute for tobacco, without the deleterious and deadly poison so freely contained in ihe latter; and it is at the same time cheaper. Watercress, with its fine stalks and leaves, when dried, requires no cutting to fit it for the pipe; and while a pound of cut tobacco ranges from 2rs. to 4rs., here we have an ar ticle a rupee’s worth of which when dried would weigh more than a couple of pounds.—Bombay Gazelle. Late Tidings from the Spirit World.—We were shown a letter yes terday, which was received from a well-known gentleman of Columbus, some eighteen months dead, through the medium of a man named R. W. Flint, of New York, who claims to hold communication with departed spirits. The letter states that after death there is an entire cessation of being for a short time ; that through the agency of an gels the spirit is then awakened to con sciousness, being clothed with a spirit ual body, susceptible lo the same emo tions and passions as in time, and ca pable of walking, talking, and exercis ing the various functions of the earth- state, but with infinitely more facility and enjoyment. We have heard much of spirit communication, but this is the first straight-through epistle from a man we knew and loved, which has come under our immediate observation. The letter is on tissue paper and writ ten backwards.— Columbus Enquirer. A boul Murder at Dykesboro.— One ol the foulest murders ever perpe trated in Georgia was committed at Dykesboro, on the Macon & Bruns wick railroad, Christmas night. The particulars as detailed lo us, arc as fol lows : A little while after dark there were three customers in the store of. D. W. Lee, who was behind the coun ter watting upon them. A gun was fired from the darkness outside and through the door at Mr. Lee, who im mediately fell and exclaimed “oh I” 3’he customers becoming frightened ran into the street and gave the ahum.

S. Ainsley. He ingratiated himself into fashionable society, dress ed fashionably, gave fine dinners and rode in an English dog-cart drawn by a horse “bobbed” in a style supposed to be English, and at his back was a “tiger” in all the dignity of top boots, gilt buttons and cockade. With a claim lo a title and so much appearaw e ol wealth, his society was courted by some wealthy persons. He formed the acquaintance of a wealthy young lady living on Staten Island, and soon it became known that they were engaged to be married.— About this time it was whispered in “f tshionabie circles” that the fellow was an impostor, and that no such name as “Lord Ainsley” appeared in the English Book of the Peerage.— These rumors became so wide-spread and annoying that the mother of the young lady dispatched a messenger to England t<> ascertain about the antece dent!: of the man. The instructions were fully carried out, and it was dis covered llntt the person claiming to be a lord had bt-en an English valet lo a Freach gentleman in Paris, where he had mastered two or three languages, and learned the ways of “society that his name was Richard Radtoid, and that his father was the keeper of a stable in London ; and that, finally, he was a mere adventurer and gambler.

Wealth is strength, power aud influence, and as it holds good in individual instan ces, it equally applies to nations or sec tions. The great aud important point that we would endeavor to impress upon the minds of the Southern people,and especial ly those of our own State; is the im- portance of a commercial and financial in dependence of the North. There is no necessity that ave should be the willing sheep to bo sheared by the middle men of New York city, as regards our cotton crop, or that we should forever look to Northern manufacturing establishments for every want, from a toothpick to an engine, or what we wear, from a paper collar to a broadcloth coat or a silk for the wife. We must begin to live within ourselves, and the first great step is to raise our own provisions, and not to have our meat houses aud corn eribs in tbo Northwest. It costs too much to get them from such a distance ; far better to Lave them within sight of our dwellings and under our own eyes. Every dollar saved to the planter by raising bis owti corn or meat is just so much money in his pocket, and so much saved to the State. It is out of tbo question for us to grow rich upon a cotton crop alone and everything else bought. It has been fig ured out too often, and actual experiments have shown that the planter who raised his corn and meat made money more rap idly than the mere cotton planter. AgaiD, we should keep as much of our money at home as possible, by erecting factories and converting our cottou into cloth.

[iV. y. Post. Louis Napoleon is beginning to sell his real estate in Paris. He lately sold two houses for 1,150,000 francs. It is temembered that Louis Phillippe show ed a similar disposition to realise pre vious to February, 181$, spent annually for cotton goods made North. The fact that many of the large cotton mills at the North hold their stock at from 300 to 500 per cent, premium, aud a few as high as 1,000 and upwards, is conclusive that the demaud for their goods is great, aud the business remarkably profit able. We should as a matter of economy and interest turn our attention to manufac turing cotton. There is a demand for all we can make, and as we raise the article, we have the advantage of production and no freight to pay. We can manufacture cheaper, and hence, would have the ad vantage iu the markets of the world. Again, we would strike a blow at New England arrogance, that would make her feci that abolitionism did not pay, when the wealth that was in uegroes returned back to us in the way of looms aud spindles aud an active competition created, when heretofore, there was a reciprocity and re ciprocal trade. As Rev. Mr. Beecher said in 1854, “that every factory established at the North drove a uail in the cofiiu of slavery,” let his hearers learn that for ev ery slave lost to us there will be a spindle at the South, to drive their factories into sileuce, or work on short time. Retributive justice may be slow, but it is sure, and in our case, it will be as swift winged as Mercury ; for already our influence is felt as a manufacturing people. Again, we should export our cotton di rect from our Southern ports ; no necessity to send it by way of New York to Liver pool, and in return import such goods as we generally use of foreign manufacture. The following from the Columbus Ens quirer is sensible : We contribute largely to the aggran dizement and pride of the North, again, by purchasing from that section manufactures and provisions that we ought to make at home. We heard Henry Ward Beecher declare, in a so called sermon iu 1S54. that every factory established at the North drove a nail in the coffin of slavery. His argument was that it added to the power and resources of the North in its warfare against Southern institutions. It may with equal truth be uow asserted that every fnctory established in the South weakeus flie arrogant power of the North and strengthens us in the contest for the pre servauon of our political rights and our prosperity as a section. Every bale of hay, or hogshead of bacon, or barrel of flour or potatoes, which we raise at the South, cuts off tribute money to the North and helps to make us a strong and self- sustaining people. Our strength as a see tiou now lies in our industry.

Dr. Green has been for the last |venty-four years the Superintendent o^lhe Asylum, and fthfi if he has given anythfjg thought, ma ture thought, it is thejmanagement and treatment of lunatics. \ The gift, coming as it did from those vvjio know him well, demonstrated the reipect and regard the givers had for one who has always deported himself towards his subordi nates with uniform courtesy and kind ness. We hope there are yet many days of usefulness in store for the Doc tor, and that those who have served we permit the North to control and grow j ,] 1C l n5t Uution so well, will continue at fat on it, so loDg will we be treated as iu feriors iu the Uniou.

Mr. Artope, of Macon, well known as a tasteful artist in the design and finish of monuments, has lately erected a very neat and tasteful one over Mrs. Adams, wife of our fellow citizen, B. B. Adams. The design is beautiful Ohio, and the work well executed. It is tasteful without being gaudy or showy, and strikes the eye as being very ap propriate. It should be seen to be ad mired. Mr. Artope has erected a num ber of others in our cemetery, and we number of fine cuts, showing the archi tecture of some ol the handsomest build ings erected in that and adjoining Slates. The plans are aiso drawn so that one can at a glance see how the houses are constructed. It is a good book for reference, especially «o those who contemplate building, or are fond of such things.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. At 12 o'clock, M., J. G. W. Mills, Sec retary pro. tern., iu accordance with Gov ernor Bullock’s order, called the Senate together. As the name of each Senator was called he stepped up to the desk and read the oath prescribed. T. G. Campbell, colored, was active in his objections to a number of Sen ators boing qualified, aud interrupted them by reading a printed protest. Senator Candler protested against the proceedings and called iuto question the authority by which it was done. An attempt was made to arrest Mr. Candler, which produced quite a confusion for the time being; he was not arrested, however. Mr. Moore, Senator from the 12th District, rvas the onlv one who could not take the oath re quired. After the Senate was organized, Mr. Conley, the old President, was put in nom- ) iuation, as was also Mr Wootten. Conley received 23 and Wootten 11 votes. Mr. Conley theu read his address, which was upon the Bullock order of charges and un truths. The following is a sample : “It is useless to recapitulate to you the specific causes which have led to this re versal of our proceedings. Yonder vacant seat of the murdered Adkins tells its own story. Men may attempt to deny or ex cuse the violations of law which have oc curred ; to deny them betrays a want of common sense; to palliate them shows that the apologist has no sentiments of justice or humanity. Men know, aud the people of this vast country know, that in many portions of Georgia, there has been no justice, no enforcement of law, no maintenance of order ; that juries have been prejudiced and overawed by bands of prowling assassins, that magistrates have refused to do their duties cr done wrong in cases where the rights of certain classes of our citizens have been involved.” We learn that Bradley, that pestilent negro from the 1st District, is again in his seat, but that he will be expelled as lie was at first. There is a warrant for his arrest in Savannah, for being accessory to the murder of young Mr. Law, of Savan nah, a year ago. In the organization of the House thero was great confusion and excitement. The House was called to order at the hour oi 12 o’clock by A. L. Harris, (of Otiio.) as Clerk, pro. tem.. by virtue of Gov. Bullock’s proclamation. Harris, assumed to be dictator and would not listen to any inctiou *~at a Democrat had to make. The Radicals thinking that they had everything in their own bauds, were violent and unscrupulous. We clip the following from the Constitu tion. In calling the roll of the House, Mr. Scott, of Floyd, asked Harris, the Clerk, •‘will the members take tbe oath to sup port the Constitution of Georgia V T Caldwell, of Troup, called Mr. Sc< tt to order, aud Harris ruled that Scott w out of order. Scott theu asked if he would be i ed to enter his protest then, or awaV organization of the House. ^ ^ V
