THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 30, ISOS. DR. LEYBURN’S LECTURES. Tho Lectures upon Palestine and Egypt, nowin course of delivery by Dr. Leybum, are well worthy the attention of the Macon pub lie. The Doctor is affluent, animated speaker, and full of that enthusiasm which the subject is so well calculated to inspire in tho mind of the intelligent Christian traveler. The iirst Lecture last night (Tuesday) embraced a view of tho country from the Mediterranean—the • landing at Jaffa or Joppa, tho ancient porf of Jemsiileur—■» -deoeriptiou of tlw pl«o»—tho journey to Jerusalem, which, though only thirty : thrce miles distant, is practically a long and burdensome trip-*-tho topography and appearance of-the country on the route—the entrance into tho Holy City, and a general do scription of it, and very interesting accounts of a visit to the Church ot the Holy Sepulchre and to tho Mosque of Omar, which, since the treaty concluding the Crimean war, has been thrown open to the inspection of Franks. The whole constituted an intellectual entertain mont such as is not often afforded the Macon public, particularly in those war times; and we hope no one who can hear these lectures conveniently will fait to do so. The house was not more than half tilled on Tuesday night, and probably some are restrained from attendance by the fac{t that the seats in the church are private property.

A word upon the times. •Camp Taliaferro, near Savannah, j April 23d, 1863. ( Mr. Editor:—I proposo to notice briefly a few of tho extraordinaries of tho times. Wo have heard the ring of “ extortion, extortion,” until I have grown sad, weary and mad. Every one I meet is fall of railery about extortion. What is extortion f Who is the extortioner ? defy any man to put his finger.upon an ex tortioner and prOTB that he is one. Every man (with a few insolatcd cases of ex'ception) is en gaged in the same business and consequently it has become a general thing; and what every body docs is right, and what every body says must be so. Such has been tho rule, until wrong has become popular, right and comi inend.it: ie. Here is brother Farmer selling (some retuse to sell at all) their corn' at ono dollar and fifty cents to three dollars per bushel, (old price seventy-five cents to ono dollar.) Potatoes, at ono to four dollars-per bushel, (old price twen ty-five cents.) Peas, two to five dollars per Kwnl.nl, (ohf price seventy-five eonts to one dollar.) Here is brother Lawyer, Doctor, Merchant, Mechanic, and the balance of man kind swearing that these old dolt-headed farm ers arc going to ruin the country by ex-tor-tion. Well, Mr. Shoemaker, what will you charge me for a pair of shoes for my poor bare-foot wife ? Fifteen to twenty-five dollars,' (old price one dollar and fifty to three dollars and fifty cents.) Oh! murder tho extortioners! Well Mr. Doctor came to my son, who is a soldier, and has come homo sick with fever. Well Quinine, twenty to twenty-live dollars per ounce, (old price one dollar fifty to three dol lars,) but as ho is your son and a soldier, I will administer the physic for five cents per grain equal to twenty-eight dollars and eighty cents, charge mileage, etc. Olvextortionerl Well, Mr. Merchant, what aro your prints worth Two dollars and fifty cents to three dollars, (old price six to twelve and a half cents;) can’ take any less—scarce in the Confederate Slates, [am obliged.to live; Corn this, Flour that. Ob, my soul, extortion W ell, here is Mr. B., a nice man, who is do ing all things right for humanity’s sake, and the good of the Government. Ho- is no far mer, lawyer, doctor nor rag dealer. Ho has just bought two thousand bushels of corn ; has just put it in that old storehouse there with a cellar to it—going to save it for the families of poor soldiers who are spending their lives in the w ar. It is not for sale at present. C. cries “whiskey at twouty-five dollars per gallon I” B. stands straight with out turning his head.

Well what is done with all these profits? “ Well, that’s a secret'' Mr. Cotton Manufacturer has a great quantity of money and but little yarns to sell to bis neighbors.

Her capital is Still here; her wealth and her power,buried her in coal mines, are still hero; her laboring population with strong arms and honest hearts aro still here.

We had a call last evening from Mr. M, Leonardy, of St. Augustino Florida, who,with a largo family, was banished from his home at St. Augustine, for the crime of having sons in the Confederate service, and that after being compelled to take tho oath in order to get subsistence for those'who are dependent upon him. He first went to Lake Oity,- and thonce to Jacksonville. On the last invasion of that place, he,-with his family, was taken to Boau- lort, S. 0., from which place they wore sent over the lines Saturday last and arrived in this city the afternoon of the same day. We gath er from him a few facts which may bo interest ing to the reader. . ' There are at Beaufort three regiments ot whites and two of blacks, all of which were encamped near the town. There are no gun boats at tho town or nearer than Hilton Head Tho iron clads aro still at the latter place un BY TELE&RAPjT all offenders. 3.

Tho Yankees manifest great disappointment at the result at Charleston, and swear in their bitterness, that the place sha'.l yet bo taken, even at tho cost of their last man. ho pri vates of the army, though, are thoroughly disgusted with the war and anxious to see it closed on any terms. Our informant heard them speaking freely of their loss on the iron clads, which they said was very heavy. Tho negroes mako but tri fling soldiers; they invariably run in a tight, and often shoot each other at the posts through awkwardness or mistake. At Jacksonville, (ter tbe first fire they catne running back into tho town at a long trot, and were half fright-, cncdout of their wits. Some 20 of them were killed in tbe engagement with Finnegan’s men. Beaufort now stands on a common, all tho fences and outdoor improvements having been destroyed, together with tho ornamental growth of the place. It is kept quite clean and in a wholesome condition. The houses are occupied by both whites and blacks, many of tho latter being installed in the stately halls over the seat of fashion and refinement. Sad.

There is too Z 1 h r , the hi S hes ‘ respect in too United States, who love and revere the Union, but who love and revere more the Con stitution under which that Union formerly ex isted, and who are much more attached to their own States than to the Union generally Thov Wish to carry on the war for the restoration of tho Union, and to carry it on under the Con stitution, but they do not wish to see the pri vileges of their separate States swallowed up by tho grpat contra! .Government at Wash ington. ■ But I do not believe that if this party were in power they would ablo to carry on efficiently a war so gigantic as that now being waged. I believe the only chance is by placing an almost despotic Government. The question is whether the Democratic party wiil yield up their State rights, or whether the other party whi eivi> up their contralizing efforts. That question, I ’/’L 1 S0 ° n be e J aded ' Tbcre 13 the conscript in 1’ 7 s3 P 1 ?? ed * which affects all State rights and all State privileges. If tbo States and the constitutional party in the States will stand bvthe law, the war will be indefinitely prolonged; but if they think the time haa now come to make a stand for constitutional principles, I think the Government will not' be able to raise the men re quired for the war much longer, and that the issue will be within a reasonable time. I will say, in conclusion, to you as a Lancashire- man, that however long this unfortunate war la9t,_ and however long it may be before ho fell. At a later hour it was removed to the un dertaker s and prepared for transmission to his home, Columbus, Ga., where a bereaved family and a very targe circle of friends await its coming. Upon intelligence of tho frightful occurrence, the House of Representatives took a recess till night; when on reassembling re*- olutions of respect and condolence were adopt- od, and touching and eloquent tributes paid by Messrs. Hartridge, Curry, Perkins and Wright, Mr. Dixon was a Georgian by birth, and was widely known and warmly esteemed in that Mate. He has been clerk of the House from the organization of the-»Permanent Governs ment and Assistant Clerk under tho Provis icnal Government He was a prompt, efficient and accomplished officer, and a gentleman of generous, manly and ardent nature. His suds den and tragic end sont a shock through the body with which he was officially connected and produced a strong sensation in the com munity. He was, we suppose, about thirty nve years of age. J Forde is a native of Kentucky, and a refugee from the Stale. He is several years younger than the deceased, but also a man of family. 8 ■Richmond Whig, 25th, Yankee Ra^gautv.—Last Sunday a printer was 1 Olir nftlPA or, t 1* _ J may bnm» r °t/’ en r0nte for his comm and at.Tulla- h»Hl» Th ! 3 “ an taken at the Murfreesboro’ battle, carried to Alton, HI., and finally exchanged at City Point, Ya., from which place ho has just come.
