IMS. LITTLE’S
VERMIFUGE.
In LARGE Bottles and “Vials.
Nothing el*e is required to relieve children es
Worn*; nd beside* being one of the cheapest and
best Vermifuges ever offered to the public. Its fre
quent me in families will save much tronble and
excuse, as well as the lives of inauy children—for
eight out of every ten cases generally require it.
LITTLE'S
ANODYNE COUGH DROPS.
A certain cttre f*rr Colds, Cough*, Bronchitis ,
Asthma, Pain in the Breast; also Croup,
Whooping Coughs, <tr., Ac.,
amongst Children.
This is a pleasant medicine to take, producing im
mediate relief, and in nine out of ten cases a prompt
cure. It exercises the most controlling influence
over Coughs and Irritation of the Luugs of any re
medy known, often stopping the most violent in a
few hours, or at most in a day or two. Many rases
thought to be decidedly consumptive, have been
promptly cured by using a few bottles. As anodyne
expectorant, without astringing the bowels, it stand*
paramount to all cough mixtures.
LITTLE’S
FRENCH MIXTURE.
Thie is prepared from a French Kecipe (In the
forms of No. 1 and 2; the first for the acute, and
No. 2 for the chrouic stage,) and from its unexampled
success is likely to supersede every other remedy
for the cure of diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder,
Gonorrhical, Blennorrhceal, aud Leuchorrhceal or
Fluor Albus affections. This extensive compound
combines properties totally different in taste and
character from any thing to be found in the United
States Pharmacopoeia ; and iu point of safety and effi
ciency is not rivalled in America.
LITTLE’S
RINGWORM & TETTER OINTMENT.
FORTIS, No. 2.
Hundreds of cases of Chronic Tetters, Scald Heads,
and diseases of the skin generally, have been cured
l>y this remedy ; aud since the introduction of the
No. 2 preparation (being stronger) scarcely a case
has been found that it will not effectually eradicate
In a short time. For the cure of Cancerous Sores
and Ulcers it is applied in the form of plasters, and
Is almost infallible.
In more than twe hundred places In Georgia, and
in the Southern States, they are to be had ; and as
there are scamps about who are counterfeiting his
remedies, by palming off their own or something
else, by using tho same or similar names (for no pa
tent is wanted or secured amid tbe absurd patents of
the day,) let all be cautioned to look well for the
signature of the Proprietor, thus: —
and also his name blown iuto the glass of each bottle

Tiic Diamond Wedding.
BI KPMI ‘.D C. STEIIMAX.
O, Love! Love! wluit times were those,
Long ere the age of belles and beaux,
And Brussels lace and silken hose,
You married Psyche under the rose.
With only the orass for bedding!
Heart to heart, and hand in hand,
You followed Nature's sweet command—
Roaming lovingly through the land.
Nor sighed for u Diamond Wedding.
So have we read in classic Ovid,
How Hero watched for her beloved,
Impassioned youth Leauder.
She was the fairest of the fair.
And wrapt him round with her golden hair,
Whenever he landed cold and hare.
With nothing to eat, and nothing to wear,
And wetter than any gander:
For Love was Love, and better than money—
The slver the theft, tbe sweeter the honey—
And kissing was clover, all the world over,
Wherever Cupid might wander.
Po thousands of years have come and gone,
And still the moon is shining on.
Still Hymen’s torch is lighted :
And hitherto, in this land of the west.
Most couples in love have thought best
To follow the ancient way of the rest,
And quietly get united.
But now. True Love, you’re growing old—
Bought and sold, with silver and gold.
Like a house or a horse and carriage!
Midnight talks.
Moonlight walks,
The glance of the eye and sweetheart sigh,
And shadowy haunts with no one hy,
I do not wish to disparage;
But every kiss
Has a price for its bliss
In the modern code of marriage:
And the compact sweet
Is not complete.
Till the high contracting parties meet
Before the altar of Mammon;
And the bride must lie led to a silver bower,
Where pearls and rubies fall in a shower
That would frighten Jupiter Ammon.
1 need not tell
How it befell,
(Since Jenkins has told the story
Over and over, and over again.
In a stylo I cannot hope to attain,
And cover himself with glory!)
How it befcl, one Summer’s day.
The King of the Cubans strolled this way—
King January his name, they say—
And fell in love with the Princess May,
The reigning belle of Manhattan;
Nor how U-gan to smirk and sue.
And dress as lovers who come to woo,
Or as Max Maretzek and Jtillien do,
And flourish the wondrous baton.
He wasn't one of our Polish nobles.
Whose presence their country somehow troubles,
Anu so our city receives them :
Nor one ofyour make believe Spanish grandees,
Who ply oiir daughters with lies and candies,
I'nt'il the poor girls believe them.
No. he was no sueh charlatan—
Full of gasconade and bravado,
Count de Hoboken Flash-in-the-pan—
But a regular rich Don Estaban
Santa Cruz de la Muscovado
Seuor Grandissimo Oviedo!
He owned the rental of half Havana
And all Mantanzas; and Santa Anna,
Rich as he was. could hardly hold
A candle to light the mines of gold
tiur Cuban possessed, choke full of diggers,
And broad plantations that, in round figures,
Were stocked at least with five thousand niggers!
“Gather ye rosebuds while ye may!”
The Senior swore to carry the day—
To capture the beautiful Princcss'May,
With his battery of treasure:
Velvet and lace she should not lack;
Tiffany. Haughwout. Ball and Black,
Geuiii and Stewart, his suit should back,
And come and go at her pleasure;
Jet and lava—silver and gold—
Garnets—emeralds rare to behold—
-1 liatnonds—sapphires—wealth untold—
All were hers, to have and to hold:
Enough to fill a peck measure;
He didn't bring all his forces on
At once, but like a crafty old Don.
Who many a heart had fought and won.
Kept bidding a little higher;
And every time he made his bid—
And what she said, and all they did—
'Twas w ritten down
For the good of the town,
By Jeems, of Daily Flyer.
A coach and horses, you'd think, would buy,
For the Don. an easy victory :
But slowlv our Princess'yielded;
A diamond necklace caught her eye.
But a wreath of pearls first made her sigh.
Bhe knew the worth of each maiden glance.
And like young colts,that eurvert and prance,
Bhe led the Don a deuce of a dance,
In spite of the wealth ho wielded.
She stood such a fire of silks and laces,
Jewels, and golden dressing eases,
And ruby brooches, and jets and pearls,
That every one of her dainty curls
Bought H,’e price of a hundred common girls;
Folks thought the lass demanded!
But at last a wonderful diamond ring,
A regular Koh-i-noor, did the thing.
And sighing with love, or something the same,
(What's in a name?)
The Princess May consented.
Ring! ring the hells, and bring
All the people to see the thing!
Let the gaunt and hungry and ragged poor
Throng around the great Cathedral door,
To wonder wljat all the hubbub's for.
And sometimes stupidly wonder
At so much sunshine and brightness which
Fall from the church upon the rich
While the poor get all the thunder.
i
Ring! ring, merry liells, ring !
O! o fortunate few.
With letters blue—
Good for a seat, and a near view!
Fortunate few. whom I dare not name;
DiUettanie t Creme de la creme !
We commoners stood by the street facade,
And caught a glimpse of the cavalcade;
Wc ssw the bride
In liediamond pride,
With six jewelled maidens to guard hor side—
Six lustrous maidens in tarletnn;
She led the van of the caravan;
Close behind her. her mother,
(1 ‘rest in gorgeous moire antique.
That told, as plainly as words could speak,
She was more antique than the other,)
Leaned on the arm of Don Estaban
Santa Cruz de In Muscovado
Honor Grandissimo Oviedo:
Happy mortal! fortunate man!
And Marquis of Eldorado !
In they swept, all riches and grape.
Silks and satins and Honiton luce:
In they swept from the dazzled sun.
And soon in the church the deed was done,
Three prelates stood on the chancel high—
A knot that gold and silver can buy,
Gold and silver may yet untie.
Unless it is tightly fastened :
What's worth doing at all's worth doing well,
And the sale of a young Manhattan belle
Is not to lie pushed or hastened.
So two Verv-Reverends graced the scene
And the tall Arehliishop stood between,
Bv prayer nnd fasting chastened:
The Pope himself would have come from Rome,
But urgent matters kept him at home;
Haply these robed prelates thought
Their words were the power that tied the knot;
But another power that love-knot tied.
And I saw the chain round the neck of the bride;
A glistening, priceless, marvellous ehain.
Coiled with diamonds again anil again.
As liefits a diamond wedding;
Yet still ’twas a ehain—l thought she knew it,
And halfway longed for the will to undo it—
By the secret tears she was -bedding,
But isn't it odd to think, whenever
We all go through this terrible River,
Whose sluggish tide alone can sever
(The Archbishop says) the Church decree,
By floating one into Eternity
And leaving tbe other alive as ever—
As each wade through that ghastly stream.
The satins that rtt“tle and gems that gleam,
Will grow pale and heavy and sink away
To the noisome River’s Imftom-clav;
Then tbe costly bride, nnd her maidens six,
Will shiver ttnon the hands of the Styx
Quite as helpless ns thev were horn—
Naked souls, and very forlorn:
And the beautiful Empress over yonder.
Whose crinoline made the wide world worrier—
And even ourselves and our dear little wiv es,
Who calico wear each morn of their lives—
And the sewing girls—and lex chiffoniers
In rags and hunger the livelong day—
And all the grooms of th“ caravan—
Aye. even the great Don Estaban
Santa Cruz de la Muscovado
Senor Grandissimo Oviedo—
That gold-encrusted, fortunate man!
All will land in naked eqnalitv:
The lord of a riband principality
Will mourn the loss of ronton ;
The Princes, too. must shift for herself,
And lay her royalty on the shelf;
Nothing to eat and nothing to wear,
Will certainly he the fashion there;
Ten to one. and I'll go it alone.
Those most used to rag nnd hone—
Though here on earth they lalior and groan—
Will stand it hest when we come to res*
On the other side of Jordan.

Correspondence of the Atlas and Daily Bon.
Macon, Geo.,Oct. IS, lNf>!>.
Encaged in a matter of business
which calls me away from home for
a few months, I find myself located
in the centre of Georgia, one of the
finest of the Southern States, which
has fairly earned the appellation
usually bestowed, of the ••Empire
State of the South.’ Jam now, as
the date of the letter indicates, in
Macon, Bibb county. I reached
herefrom New York, by tlie way of
steamer to Savannah, which is eigh
teen miles from tho mouth of the
Savannah river, whose waters in nar
row limit, muddy and dirty at that,
in its course from the ocean to the
city, pass many rice and cotton plan
tations, and on the South Carolina
side, in view of many groves of the
Palmetto. From Savannah to Ma
con, is by railroad, one hundred and
ninety one miles, through a wilder
ness of pines and swamps, innumer
able, passing through no villages,
and with no scenery to interest or
attract the attention of a travelling
stranger.
Macon is the shire town of Bibb
county, situated on the west bank of
the Ocmulgce river, and lias a popu
lation of nine thousand —is beauti
fully and pleasantly located upon
land which gradually slopes upward
to the west for the distance of a mile
from the eastern boundaries of the
city.
The streets of Maeon are finely
laid out, one hundred feet wide, with
shade trees bordering the sidewalks,
and the centre of the streets; alleys
l!U feet wide, connecting the streets
at convenient distances. In the win
ter season the Ocmulgce is naviga
hie for steamers from Savannah,
which bring freight from that city
cheeperthan it can he conveyed by
railroad. Macon lias seven church
es, not including three churches
which are occupied exclusively by
the negro population. This city is
the great thoroughfare for passen
gers and freight from New York,
Philadelphia and other northern ci
ties, to New Orleans, Mobile, etc. —
The Great South-Western Railroad
has its terminus here, connecting by
the Western Road with Savannah
and the NOrfh. All the steamers
and ships from New York come
loaded with freight to Savannah,
which is then, by rail, distributed
through the great South Western
country. There seems to be no di
riet speedy communication between
Boston and Savannah, and hence
freight from Boston should manage
to keep a portion of the trade of the
South West, and of Georgia. She
can only do so by direct communi
cation with the ports of Charleston
and Savannah. 1 am digressing
from the purely descriptive letter
which I intended to write, therefore
will return to Macon.
Macon was incorporated into a
town in and a city in A
very large trade is carried on here,
and many firms have amassed large
fortunes in business. This is the
great trading mart for the entire in
terior of Georgia, extending trade
even to Alabama. Most branches of
mechanical business are carried on,
and manufacturers receive attention
in various branches. Education is
not neglected. The building erected
for a County Academy is now used
for a public school, under competent
teachers. A large building near the
City Hall is occupied fora Botanical
Medical College. A large and ele
gantly constructed building, in pro
cess of erection by the State, is to
he used as an Asylum for the Blind.
Near the Blind Asylum, upon an
eminence overlooking the city, is
the Wesleyan Female College, under
the general oversight, as its name
indicates, of the Methodist denomi
nation. This College was opened to
the public in 1889, and from that
time to the present has been in suc
cessful operation. It F the oldest
institution in the United States upon
the plan of a regular Female College.
The College building is commodious,
being 100 feet long by 80 wide, and
contains fifty rooms, besides tlie
dining room and a large chapel, it
accommodates seventy-five students
and the families of the President and
Faculty. The philosophical and
chemical apparatus is ample for the
purpose of thorough instruction in
the sciences, and the Cabinet eon
tains a great variety of the finest
mineralogical specimens. One hun
dred and seventy-five young ladies
is the average number attending the
College. Rev. ,T. M. Bonnell, A. M.,
is President of the Institution.
While speaking of the public build
ings of Macon, I must not forget to
make ajiote of the new and splendid
mansion now in process of comple
tion for W. B. Johnston, Esq. I
think it is the most highly finished
and best arranged private residence
I have yet seen in this country. It
might be styled an English building
of the Romanesque or Italian villa
style of architecture, is one hundred
and sixteen feet long, and in width
70 feet through the hall and vesti
bule. All the wood in the building
is Georgia pine. The front portico
is laid with Italian marble in Mosa
ic. The front door Is double, six
and a half inches thick, of wood,
bronzed and ornamented with lions’
heads. The butts for these doors
weigh sixteen pounds each. The
first fioor is divided into parlors, sit
ting room, library, dining hall and
picture gallery, which is furnished
with sky-light and niches in the walls
for statuary. The picture gallery is
thirty feet high, and most expen
sively finished. Between the sitting
room and library are sliding doors
with ornamented plate glass, and
many other folding doors of the
house are provided in the same man
ner. The marble for the grates and
mantles was imported from Italy
and Portugal and is very highly fin
ished. Hot and cold water is car
ried to every apartment iu the house;
so. also, is gas, not excepting the
dome on the top of the building,
which is seventy-four feet from the
ground, every window of which is
provided with a gas burner, so that
the wealthy proprietor can indulge
in a general illumination at his pleas
ure. I noticed that some of the
closets and drawers, desigi e 1 lor
storing woolen goods in the summer,
were made of cedar wood, as a pre
ventive against the ravages of
moths. This is said to he a certain
remedy against moths.
The culinary department, unlike
most of the residences at the South,
is in the basement, where are also the
breakfast and tea rooms and the
laundry. Hot and cold water is
carried to all parts of the mansion,
and everything seems to he provid
ed which can add to the comfort a-nd
convenience of the proprietor. I
ought not to forget to state that the
architect and builder of this house is
Mr. Yolnoy Pierce, a native and un
til within a few years a resident of
Berkshire County, Massachusetts. 1
am so proud of my native State, and
the mechanical skill displayed hy
her sons at home and in all parts of
the world, that I am led to doubt if
any other than a Massachusetts me
chanic could design and complete
such another perfect specimen of
architectural beauty.
Rose Hill Cemetery,located at the
west end of the city, was laid out in
IK4O, and in the romantic natural
beauty of its grounds, the taste dis
placed inornamenting the lots as well
as the costliness and elegance of itjs
monuments, is equalled only by
Greenwood and Mount Auburn. A
monument to the memory of Capt.
Holmes of this city, who commanded
a company from here in the Mexi
can War, who died in the service of
his country, is to be erected and ap
propriately inaugurated in this cem
etery, on the 26th inst,. There will
then l>e a large military display and
public oration.
The cotton crop is coming in fine
ly. Tne storehouses here are get
ting filled up, and planters are sell
ing tor 10 and 10 1-4 cents. Large
quantities of this staple article still
remain in the fields, and much of it
will not he picked before December.
The crop is about as large as that of
last year. E. H.
Treason Preached in Philtdelitliia.
The notorious Joshua R. of Ohio
eave his views of slavery and the Harper’s
Ferry emeute, at National Guard’s Hal!, Raee
street, on Friday evening last, beforea large
audience ot Abolitionists, colored people,
and those eccentric individuals who think
that ebony is better than topaz, and that ma
logany should be tbe standard complexion
l of our people and institutions. The old
traitor was enthusiastically received by those
who believe that the “ Constitution of the
i United States is a compact with h—l!,” and
that the government established by aah
! ington and the great sages of ‘‘seventy-six”
! should be overthrown iu order to place a
piebald and degraded race in power in Col
umbia’s land, to the exclusion of those who
have a blood-bought inheritance in the soil
and institutions thereof. Those who are fa
tnilliar with the violent sentiments of the
hoary Abolitionist, will probably not he
surprised to learn that he indulged in his
usual extravagant vagaries ; but they will
scarcely expect to be informed that his in
famous and treasonable doctrines were com
placently swallowed by quite a considera
, oie number or the heretofore supposed most
< onservat've of the citizens of Philadelphia.
! Nay. Mr. Giddings even out-heroded himself.
, He reiterated the seutiruent that it was mor
al y wrong for slaves to remain one hour in
’ bondage, and that they should g*>, even if it
were necessary, to slay their white breth
ren, their wives and little ones; that if a
slave-catcher entered his house in pursuit of
a fugitive slave, he would strike him down
at the threshold ; that, were he a slave, he
would wa k over the dead bodies of slave
holders from Mississippi to Maryland, if nec
essary, to obtain freedom : that he had con
tributed largely each year to free slaves from
bondage; that he had fed and clothed those
who were fleeing to the land of liberty ; that
he had given them firearms to defend thein
j selves, and had taught them how they should
be used, etc. The rapid lecturer affected to
1 throw ridicule upon the Harper’s Ferry af-
I fair, and boldly proclaimed his approval of it,
and had the unblushing hardihood to declare
I (fiat two thirds of the people of the free
States sympathized with the wretched mad
dam in his detestable schemes of rapine and
blood.
While a few of tbe infatuated among the
colored and rantankerons abolition portion
of the audience were at first disposed to ve
hemently applaud such shocking sentiments,
the great ma3 of the assemblage was struck
dumb with horror at the incendiary and
murderous and traitorous proclivities of the
| frenzied speaker, and by their silence most
| emphatically rebuked the infernal treason to
! the laws and institutions of the land. The
audience dispersed in good order, and thus
fairly redeemed Philadelphia from any
charge of countenancing any acts of violence,
whether in her own midst or in the domains
of neighboring and fraternal States. We
are happy to know that many, even of the
leading Abolitionists of this city, yesterday, j
were free to denounce the violent course of
Mr. Giddings. as calculated to defeat the
ends of emancipation, and bring about an
archy and horror of a character never to be
retrieved in the land. They ignore him as ,
their leader, and reprobate the acts of Lrowu
and his deluded followers in tbe most em
phatic manner. In short, neither Mr. Gid
di’ gs nor his sentiments are likely to receive
any extensive countenance in this comuaun
iiy.—PhtV, Sunday Mercury.

The Elclfgion that Christ
Tauglit.
“One tempting him said, Master,
which is the great commandment in the
law 1 Jesus said unto him, “Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind. This is the first and great
commandment. And the second is like
unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself. On these two commandments
hang all the law and prophets.”
Love to God and love to man is the
foundation upon which -iesus, the Great
Master Builder, directs every man to
build lor time and eternity. This is not
only the first and second great command
of heaven, but is the great central prim,
ciple, around which ail the graces of a
divine life must cluster and bloom for
ever. Without this foundation we build
in vain, and our Inpe is unfounded.—
Jesus said, I am come to send fire on
the earth; and what will 1 if it lie al
ready kindled 1 And again lie said,
Suppose ye that lam come to give
peace on the earth ! i tell you nay,
but rather division !
Burning words of truth will set on
fire and separate those things that should
be removed, that the pure in heart may
appear to the glory of Gob The
breath of the Almighty will destroy
every buildingof man whose foundation
is not love, and whose adorning is not
wrought in truth and righteousness.—
For this purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that he might destroy by
his pure life the works of evil men, and
thereby establish truth and, righteous
ness in the word. It is a holy privi
lege to stand in the great temple of God,
and worship him who created all things;
to stand in the integrity of our hearts,
as did the holy men of old, before men
and angels, and give thanks to the Fath
er for the blessings of life, and be assure
ed that our thank-offerings are accepta
ble and to know’ that our prayers are
heard and answered according to his
will— this is Life.
The religion taught and lived by Je
sus was love—perfect love to God, and
an unfeigned love to man. 11 is creed
we find in his Sermon on the Mount.—
His faith and manner of life is recorded
in the Gospels. Whatsoever isVritten
of the pure, the holy, and the just one,
is for our edification and example, if so
be we have an honest heart, faith,
and a sound mind—fur herein is the
comfort of the glad tidings of life to us.
No man can call Jesus Lord, Master, or
Teacher, if he mind not the things he
said, and follow him not in word and
deed. Love to God and love to man ;
on these two commandments hang all
the teaching of the law, < f the prophets,
of Jesus and the Apostles. And this,
they teach, is the only foundation on
w hich to build for eternal life.
“Perfect love castelli out all fear,” and
“lie that is begotten of love is born of
(tod.” Therefore he beeometh a law
unto him, and is enabled to fulllill all
law, and overcome all evil with good.
Charity hath hope in all things, and
if needs be, suflereth long, but in the
end sits enthroned in the mansions of
the blessed.
“And we know that the Son of God is
come, and bath given us an understand
ing, that we may know him that is
true, and we arc in him that is true,
even in his son Jesus Christ. This is
the true Gild and eternal life.” Ur the
understanding, the knowledge, revealed
through Jesus, is of the true God, which
knowledge is life eternal. “Little chil
dren, keep yourselves from idols.”—
“Love is the fulfilling of the law’.”

From the Atlanta American of Tuesday.
Fire, Explosion and Loss of Life.
Our citizens were aroused about nine
o’clock last night by an alarm of Fire,
which occurred in a wooden house on
Alabama street, next door but one to
this office. The building had sustained hut
little damage by the tire and but few
persons had gathered, when some
ters of powder exploded shattering the
side, blowing out, the entire front of the
building, and breaking the sash and glass
in the next house belonging to E. M.
Seago, Esq. The shock of the explo
sion was felt with more or less furce all
over the city. The engines were on the
spot very soon alter the fdarm was giv
en—very fortunately after the explosion,
else the loss of life would have been
terrific. The lire was very quickly sub
dued. and mo-t of the damage sustained
by the building was in consequence of
the explosion. 11 is, however, very near
ly a complete wreck. The house was
owned by Marcus A. Bell, Esq., and
was covered by an insurance Company,
Hartford. It was occupied by Mr. Gib
son as a Family Grocery, who was in
sured to the amount of *1,500 ; and a
| small family, who escaped just in time
to save their lives.
The most deplorable circumstance
connected with this event is the death of
Mr. L. S. Blake, who was well known in
the community as a worthy and estima
ble man of the strictest integrity, and on
whom a sister and widowed mother in
Baltimore mainly depended for a sup
port. He was among the first who reach
ed the scene, and is supposed to have
been immediately in front of the door at
the time of the explosion. When that
occurred he was buried beneath the tail
ing trout in the middle of the street and
wa a killed—probably inst*neou)y.
Many others vrere hurt—some very
badly—having been knocked down by
the concussion and the scattered lumber.
We append the names of as many of
those who were injured as we have !>eeu
able to ascertain:
L. S. Blake, killed; —O’Brien, badly
hurt— recovery considered doubtful;
Hurt hut not seriously, Theo. Harris,
Dr. Pomeroy, Henry Konlz, Geo. John
son, Sam. Downs, Pat. Daly, aud a Mr,
Orr of Newnan.
