The following questions were asked by a correspondent and answered by Berge- ret, a Communist General: “ Do you be lieve in God?” “No.” “Why?’ “B** cause it is not Republican. Because, if there was a God, ho would be a tyrant I fight God in the universe as I did the empire in France. It is the one-man power, the pouvoir pcraonel of Napoleon III. If there were such a place os In al and I went there and found a God 1 would immediately couimeuce throwing up barricades. I would hoist tho red flag. I would rebel. It is contrary to justice, it is contrary to reason, it is con trary to right that ouo should govern the many—that there should bu a God. *’ What do you substitute for God ?” Universal harmony." “What do you mean by that ?.’ “The union of every thing tiiat exists in one harmonious hole. Man, animals, flowers, plants, trees, plaucts—everything.” “Other wise the universe itself?” “Did this uniyers or universal harmony, as you call it, create itself V” “AU, that is the uestion I cannot answer. It is some- liing the human mind cannot grasp; probably because we lack a faculty. As a •erson who is boru blind caunot compre- icnd the light, so we cannot understand the creation. I could ask you as well who created God, and you would prob ably give me the same answer, "try to think it out and you will go crazy.” » to «■ ■ mm A special to the New York WoriU re ports the failure of the Bourbon fusion through tho intrigues of Thiers, who pro poses to play the role of Gen. Trim in Spaiu, for a few years. But Thiers is not Prim, and such an attempt, uusus- tained by foreign influence, would hasten his downfall, and remit France to chaos, In fact, the present condition of that country is but little better. Thiers eon serve a master most faithfully, and as an opposition leader, he is unsurpassed; but he lacks ovory element of a military dic tator, and his want of many executive qualities has been sadly proved during tne current year. It*will bo noticed, however, thatth* regular l*ress di qmteh- m seem ignorant of the J*parted Bom bon failure, and report a compromise, to which Thiers is said to hate agreed. tfjral j«ofilAU«fi^ri_^. _ . - c ^ . . . OMftidn^as in this udlrtiecncfn •^g^gv.ve a dew brie! resulutions of their meeting ^Rcsoived That we, the citizens of Powder Springs and vicinity, will lend a willing co-operation to tne Georgia Western Railroad company in construct ing its line of railway to be located through or near Powder Springs. That we will use every effort in promoting and advancing the interest of said company, and securing its support. That in oar opinion, this is the most practicable line of survey, attended with less expenditure of money and labor ; and that the increased interest of the people in this section in behalf of the road would be a substantial benefit to the company, equal to its great corresponding advan tage to the people. That we, as far as we represent those of our citizens who sul>scnbed for stock prior to the war, hereby ratify the same ; aud as additional inducement to this lo cation of the line, will give the right of way through and over our lands, and fur ther, earnestly engage in support of the rond and its best interests along this route.” Other important resolutions were adopted and the entire proceedings of the meeting interesting and character istic of the energy and liberality of these people. THH AGRICTLURAL CLUB is probably the best and most profitable organization in this county. Its meet ings are attended with tho best results, and are a source of practical instruction to the yonng farmer. Eitraordinay com petition is going on by those who guide the plow and hoe the corn, for premiums offered. The pictures of R. E. Lee anil Joe Johnston are among the prizes to Ik* won by this sort of industry. In fact, good living and plenteousness are the chief objects to be attained here. Spring chiokens, fresh butter and eggs, small fish, various vegetables, fruits, pies, aud m abundance of hog and hominy art* ipeeialties among th<*se hardy lads and hearty lasses. How we are to teal our selves away from this sort of hospitality and happy living is a hard question for Harry Liohthkart. n-to-a Tho New York Tribune has been making an estimate of the loss by the coal miners' strike.

The Long Branch correspondent of the New York Sun, nnder date of June 5th, writes os follows The President was very much fatigued on his return from New * York on Hatnr day; so he did not attend church yester day, much t<« the chagrin of the country people, who hud gathered from far and near to see him. In the evening b drove out with Mrs. Grant. The elegant equipage in which they rode attracted much attention. The carriage is an En S lish phft*ton, with yellow wheels, and is rawn by two very handsome high-step ping buys. The carriage is a present t< the President.

The Sun reportei stood on the piazza of the hotel us tin elegant establishment dashed by. “THERE GORS GRANT!” said some one near by. At this excia matiou a broad-shouldered Western man who was sitting near, put down his paper and said sotto voce: Yes, that’s him.” Then to the Sun reporter: ‘But I tell yon, stranger, he looks n mighty sight different a-sittin’ in that rig than he did when I first seen him ,welve years ago. ” \How is that?” said the Sun man, f»hat he had ran across an honeai . seen Grant,” said the Va-sittiu’ on top of a load in’ to sell it for a dollar and cents. man looked at the stranger in nt he continued; “that wa* •wis.

But when you see a man win comes from We&t Pint, with a fast-class eddication, you kinder think ef he had anythin’ to hiui he could do a dern eight better than cart wood for a livin’. Ain’t that so?” o'Sun man bowed assent, fow ye see,” and here the St Lou it- man motioned tiic Sun man to sit down beside him, “some folks even out there in St. Lewis that used to kuow that litrie man out there, and used to laugh at him because of his worthlessness, git down on their knees to him now.

Grant was very indus- was he Lot, even while peddling wood?” St Louis Man—Waal, only so-so. I’ve seen him come into town with a load and sell it for a couple o’ dollars, and then go off up to the barracks with a bottle of whisky, and set there with the army offi cers till night. Sometimes they’d put him to bed, and the team to the wood wagon would git tired o’ waitin’ aud go off to the farm alone. Sun Man—Well, a.'l that’s passed and gone now, you know Whatever Mr. Grant may have bon years ago, he is now President of the B Li ted States, and we all know ho wants to be for several years to coma St. Louis Man—Yes, I’ve heard that he was a-fishin’ to be reelected. He don’t stand NO SHOW IN MISSOURI Between Oratz Brown and Frack Blair, I guess they’ll fix him there. You sec there ain't a State in the Uniou when' Grant’s letter known than in Missouri. The folks there remember him when he was wiles than nobody, aud they ain’t goin’ to be fooled any more by the glit ter o’ them eqaulettes. He begin to think that mebbe a good dtwl of that military glory is all moonshine, because, yon see, since Grant's been President, much of bis natural wuthlessness has come to light agin. When he was in the army he was the cock of the walk, the big toad in the puddle, and all thr glory won by the little toads come all to him. But when he got to be Pn^ident, then he stood more on his own lH>ttom, and now he don’t havo anybody to make glory for him. He can’t make none for himself, aud so he geos without. Jnst now he’s like a bear in winter time—he’s livin’ on his old supply ; but when that’s gone, where’ll he be ? It kind o’ makes me mad to see him u-ridin’aroand in this Rtyle, but I suppose it can’t be helped.” Here the St. Louis man arose with a sigh, and bowing to the Sun man, de parted. The Richmond An>(Hirer thinks it is difficult for Southern people to please the present Administration. Formerly they had no registry laws iu Virginia; but iu order to conform with Northern ideas one was passed which imporitively requires the commissioners to reject every ballot offered by persons not on the registry lists.

A few days since a meeting of the State Democrntjo Executive Committee was held at Little R-wk, Arkansas, and put forth a declaration that “it would he un wise, impolitic and certain of defeat to resurrect the issues on which we were hcnb»n in ’38, and that the party is wil ling to let the questions arising out of the war rest where they are,” During the four montlis of the strike, the consumption of anthracite coal amounted to about 4,000,000 tons, on which tin advance occasioned by the strike was not less than $2 per ton, makiug a loss to consumers of $8,000,000. Iu addition to these looses may be added the loss of railroads in not having the products of the miners’ labor to transport The son of a well known New Haven politician, whose name b<*gius with B, is a freshman at Yale and was seated at iv i- tation near the oolored student Bouchct, whereupon the B. senior wrote to one of the professors, asking as a personal favor that he would change the young man’s seat, as it was distasteful to him to sit so near a negro. The professor wrote back that at present the students were ranged in alphabetical order, and it was not in his power to gTant the favor, but “next term the desired change will be brought about, for scholarship then bcin«T f criterion, Boucliet will be iu the flirl * vision, and your ion in the fourth^ tion to receive the votes of negroes who had not b<*eu registered.

Pitts, of this couuty, was drowned in a spring of water, near his residence, one day last week. In his plays, he had wan dered off, and was not missod by his pa- i juts until some time afterwards, when a diligent search was instituted as to his hereabouts. When found, he was head foremost in the wat°r, and life of course was extinct—Marietta Journal Wheat cutting season is upon us, and we are fearful that the crop, which is very short, will be almost ruined with wet weather. In conversation with a entlemau from Cussville, on last Tnes- ay, he informed us that a large portion of the wheat in that section will not pay tor harvesting and that if it continues to rain, they would hardly make seed ; and that seems to be the opinion of farmers in other sections. The best crop, on a small scale, we have heard of is a small patch in towu of about one and a half acres, which we are informed will make about forty bushels.-Cirtcrsville Standard. A sad case of drowuing occurred on nr river yesterday afternoon, between four and five o’clock. A boy named Theus, about nine years of age, accom- muied by his brother, were upon the duff near the government warehouse.— The deceased brother accidently fell into the water, and while he wan straggling to save liimsclf, the other brother’s at tention was c tiled to the drowuing boy’s situation. He immediately made an flfort to rescue him, bat despite his ef forts, the poor boy’s life become extinct. — [Sarannidi Republican. The weather for the past week has been very unfavorable for the farmer,— The rains have been regular, keeping tho ground so wet tliut little progress is mode in destroying weeds and grass. The wheat is none the better by the constant showers, though not as yet damaged se riously. With n few fair days the most of it will have been re«i>ed, and we are also able to report, from frequent inqui ries of parties from different portions of the county, that, the yield will be far su perior to what was anticipated four weeks •since.—[Covington Enterprise. The Sanderaville Gru -gian says : Corn, on uplands where it lias been worked out, is growing despite the rain. It is con ceded tlmt a better crop of grass never was seen in Wariiingt ».i county before. Cotton is awfully sick and people are sick of it Under tin* most favorable circumstances flora now on the yield cannot be more than half a crop. With out an early change for the better, but little wheat euu be saved. The season has been fiue for potatoes and the pros pect is good. Planters report hogs do ng well, and tho probabilities are favor able for an abuudaiioe of baoou. With plenty of corn aud bacon we can afford to have a poor cotton crop, provided, it is general. We have just learned the particulars >f a wanton aud malicious attack upou J. M. Bryan, at PI tuevdla.
