Eatonton, Ga., May 2, 1872. Dear Sun: We loft Thomson on yes- terJay; found we had to lie over in Mil- ledgevillo some tlireo honrs for tlio train to Eatonton. We had the pleasure of riding in n phreton—yeB, a veritable plneton, that is run-to and from the de pot conveying passengers. This is an im provement on tho old call aud hack style. It is owned by Messrs. Darnell & Co., who keep excellent accommodations in their line—fine backs, vehicles, &t>. Wo retain oar thanks to Mr. Ifoldridge, o 10 of tho firm, for his polite attention. In addition to a fine supper at the Milledge- ville Hotel, we had tho first iced siraw- berries and cream of this season. Just think of that! We arrived in Eatonton at an hour when Bomnus reigned supremo, yet found a hack which conveyed us to the Eatonton Hotel, which is kept l,y Mr. W. H. l’elot, one of thoso genial-hearted men we sometimes meet with. There is good Livery connected with this House, where vehicles of all kinds can ho obtained, and persons nre sent from this point to Madison, Monticello, or anywhere in tho county. This depart ment is managed by Mr. Bincetid, whom we found very obliging. When morning came we called at the office of ttie “Press and Messenger," published by J. B. lteese, editor and pro prietor, who was absent from bis office, but our old friend, Mr. Jefferson, the former proprietor, was in tho office. Mr. Davis, our loenl agent, iuterms us that lie has not had time to devote much at tention to the agency recently, hut will soon ho able to give the matter his best exertions. The Sun line a large circula tion in this county. Eatonton is at the terminus of a branch of the Central Railroad. It is tho county site of old Putnam. It has tho handsomest location for a court house WI have seen iu any town—the center of an elevated square covered with a beautiful sod—the whole being baud- sorncly ornamented with elms and forest trees. The place is famous for tho large number of handsome young belie* it con tains and for the fine vocal music in ita churches. Itsiuhabitants are intelligent and refined. There aro two churches— Methodist and Baptist; also a l’resbytoriun organi sation, who worship iu tho Baptist church. Connected with these chuiches are two fioarisbing Sabbath Schools. This place has four prosperous schools; also two colored schools, eight dry goods stores, and five groceiy store*. A large am unt of business is transacted here. A great deal of cotton is bought and ship- lied from thia point. The block of stores burned down last November is about to ho rebuilt with fine brick houses.

Dr. Huston, a Methodist minister, will commence in Baltimore in a few days. The investigation, it will bo remembered, was intrusted by tho late Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church to a committee of live. This committee has been engaged for the post two or three weeks in inquiring into various rumors of a defamatory character in relation to Dr. Huston. A communi cation haa been sent to Dr. Huston at Cincinnati, stating that tlio commlitee is now ready to proceed with tile examina tion. The proceedings of the investigation will nut be made public during its pro gress, hut the result will be paldished. Should tho committee find Dr. Huston innocent of the charges preferred against him, the President of the committee has the discretionary power to restore him to ilia former clerical functions. Should the verdict he one of “guilty," tbo case will hove to be placed before the Confer ence for ita action. The charges prefer red agaiust Dr. Huston are of a very grave character, and if they arc proved, lie slionld be puniahed not only by dis missing him from his olerical functions, lint also by tho strong arm of the law.

Mr. Sherman advocah d the adoption of tho bill, aH a substitute for tho am nesty bill, for the purpose of giviug tho house an opportunity for a fair voto on the question of civil rights, and said he believed that, if the question wore out of tho way, a general amnesty bill would pass tho Senate by a three-fourths vote, He thought, however, that there was very little chance of an amnesty bill passing the Senate until tho house should have had au opportunity to vote on the civil rights bill. Mr. Trumbull said when he had heard Boreman, ono of tho earliest and most zealous advocates of proscrip tion, call iip and advocate tho amnesty bill this morning, ho hod hailed it as" a sign that tho tune hod come, at lost, when all political disabilities were to be removed; bul ho now saw he was mis taken.
