of what an intelligent observer would behold
amongst tbe men, women and children who

things! It needs no prophet to foretell the
ruin of the race. The small-pox is already at
work doing dreadful havoc, and threatens to
be • scourge to the black race as terrible os
the plague or the cholera ever was to the
white race. But humanity requires us to ask
another and a different question: What is
the appropriate remedy far thcsewivils 1 The
answer to this is also patent. Let the negro
lie kept in the country where his services are
needed, and let him lie evmjtelled to perform
his contracts. Some compulsion is necessary,
and we leave it to the government to say what
kind it shall lie.
TIIE MACON AND AUGUSTA RAIL
ROAD.
The action of the public meeting held in
this city yesterday, to consider the affair* of
this company, will lie found in our columns
this morning.
The exhibit of the financial condition of
the company, and the progress that has been
made with the work, officially presented to
the meeting, was highly encouraging. Nearly
one million of dollar* wo* expended when
the war broke out. The building of one
bridge, and a small amount of grading, will
make the road-bed ready for the superstruc
ture. The company is free from debt, and
lus enough assets to purchase the iron.—
Funds to liuild the Oconee bridge, complete
tbe grading, and lay the frock, is all that is
needed to open the line in a short lime. The
•mount to be raised is small; Macon is only
asked to contribute twenty-five thousand dol
lars, as her proportion of the aggregate re
quired to give her this important avenue and
outlet for trade. The committee, we learn,
will call upon our citizens at once for assist
ance, and every one should respond freely.
The Constitutional Amendment.
The Millcdgcvillc Union of yesterday says
the provisional governor of Gcoigia will sub
mit to the legislature Hit views of the govern
ment upon the adoption of the amendment
to the constitution relative to slnvcry, and
adds:
Wc have seen already that the president
lias thought proper to retain in office the pro
visional governors of Mississippi, South and
North Carolina—and thus it will lie in Gcor-
S ’a if the legislature docs not promptly adopt
e constitutional amendment. We presume no
man in Georgia expects to own a negro while
he lives, and certainly no one ever expects to
get back the negros he once owned; then why
not adopt the Constitutional amendment i—
The President insists that wc do so, and as it
is a condition precedent to the restoration of
our rights, in the Union, the sooner wc do it
the lictter. Wc know not how soon other
requirements may l« asked of u»; but as we
have “no say" in the matter we must acqui
esce, with the licst possible grace, in manifest
destiny, leaving to God and the consciences of
men the fate which, ultimately, is to lie ours.
The English Cattle Plaque.—An Eng
lish doctor who has investigated the matter,
declares that it is safe to cat beef steaks ent
from animal* in which the cattle plague has
been ftilly developed. He adds that lie fed
some of the lower animals upon the diseased
meat and intestines, cooked and raw, of those
affected with cattle plague in its worst stage,
without producing any injurious results. In
addition to this, he has met with a great
many men who have had cuts and scratches
on their hands and who have liecn daily in
oculated with this poison without taking any
harm.
Having' a High old Time.—Andreas Han
sen, known as the Prussian giant, was, on the
10th, among the noble objects of arraignment
in the tombs police court, having fiecn ar
rested in the fourth ward on the previous
night in a helpless condition, produced hy a
free indulgence in the patent liquids for
which that locality enjoys some reputation.
After bring arraigned the giant was dis
charged. .
Freight Reduced.—Arrangements have
been made with Messrs. Colby & Co., of Sa
vannah, by which a new line of steamers have
been placed on the route between Savannah
and Doctortown, in connecticn with the At
lantic and Gulf Railroad, so tliat there lias been
a large reduction in freights shipped to Sa
vannah by that route. Mr. Sanford is ship
ping agent at Doctortown.
ssr Dr. Pusey is bnsy as an author in Eng
land. He has published a reply to the address
of Dr. Manning, Archbishop of Westminister,
in which he contends that the Church of
England is a portion of the Catholic Church.
Dr. Pu*cy has in the press some lectures on
Daniel, the prophet, lately delivered at Ox
ford. /
y Chas. J. Faulkner, cx-Hinistcr to
France, is in W ashington looking after his
5. He had a letter from Mr. Lincoln
granting his pardon. He was afterwards in.
dieted by tbe United States District Court at
Norfolk for treason. No action has yet been
had in the case.
Subterranean Butter.—It is well known
that cream can be converted into butter by
simply bring buried in the ground; but it is
not generally known that this mode is in
common use in Normandyand some other parts
of France. The process is as follows:
The cream is placed in a linen bag of mod
erate thickness, which is carefully secured and
placed in a hole in the ground about a foot
and a half deep; it is then covered up and
left for twenty-four or twenty-five hours.—
When taken out the cream is very hard, and
only requires beating for a short time with a
wooden mallet, after which half a glass of
water is thrown upon it, which causes the
hnttcr milk to separate from the batter. If
the quantity to be converted into butter is
large, it ia Ieft more than twenty-four hours
in the ground.. In winter, when the ground
is frozen, the operation is performed in a cel-
lar, the bag being well covered up with saml.
Some persons place the bag containing the
cream within a second bag,'in order to pre
vent any taint from the earth. This system
saves labor, produces a larger amount of ex
cellent butter than churning, and, moreover,
it is said never to fail.—Journal of the Society
of Arte,

DISPATCHER TO THE ASSOCIATED TRESS.
Washington Items.
W ashington, Nor. 25.—Among those who
called at tbe Executive Mansion to-* lay were
Gen. Grant, Maj. Geary, and Senator John
son, who was a member of the United States
Senate with President Johnston, and is now
seeking pardon for participation in the re
bellion, and speaker Colfax.
A numticr of ladies were also present,
urging the claims of friends for amnesty.—
One of them was exceedingly earnest in the
behalf of Harry Gilmore of Md. Mr*. Bish
op, daughter of the late Secretary of the rebel
navy, is endeavoring to obtain lier father's
release on pardon. Beside* the above named
visitore, some came seeking office with no
recommendations besides their own state
ments and claims to loyalty, while others hod
business of so trifling a nature it could have
lieen attended to l*j- the humblest servant at
the White House.
The members of the Farragut court mar
tial visited the rebel ram Stonewall to-day,
for the purpose of trying the capacity of ves
sels in connection with the trial of Com. Cra
ven, for failing to engage the Stonewall in
the harbor of Ferral.
The Star says that the statement that
Judge Mugrath and the rebel Secretary of
War, Scddcn have been released from Fort
Pulaski, and Governor Lubbock from Fort
Dclcware on pardon is without foundation,
and no probability exists that either will
soon lie set at liberty
The Herald's special says: One of the late
acquisitions to the House of Representatives
is a carpet imported from England, costing
the round sum of $7,000. It is very elegant
in pattern and of the finest quality, but the
opinion is not wanting among the crowd of
people that daily visit the carpet and exam
ine the splendid appointments of the Repre
sentative Chamber, that the fabric in ques
tion could with "greater propriety have
been hod from an American loom instead of
beyond the seas.
The Commercial's Special says: As the
President completes a section of Ilia message,
it is put in type at a confidential printing,
office at tlie Treasury Department, and proof
sent him for perusal.
New York, Nov. 25.—The Tribune’s dis

occupied n good share of the Cabinet session
Friday.
The World's special says Conway, late
freedmen's agent in Louisiana, lias been or
dered to report to Gen. Fisk.
World's special says Mr. Prescett, of South
Carolina, Gov. Perry's delegate to look after
the affairs of that State, had an interview
with the Pccsidcnt to r day, and starts for
home at once.
General Butler who came here to-day, has
been closeted with tlie radical members of
Congress who are now here.

PUBLIC MEETING.
Cmr Hall, Macon, Ga., Not. 28,1865.
The citizens of Macon met to-day, in pur*
suance of a call, when bis honor the tqayor,
Stephen Collins, was called to "the chair," and
James A. Nisbet appointed secretary.
Mr. Whittle offered the following pream
ble and resolutions, which, after some discus
sion, were unanimously adopted:
Whereat. The line of Railroad between
Mayfield and Milledgeville completes tbe con
nection so important to the city of Macon,
uniting tlie cities of Augusta, Milledgeville,
Macon, Colnmbns and Montgomery on the
shortest line, and rendering this route far su
perior to any in operation or that ran be pro
jected. And, whereas, this short distance of
thirty-three (33\ miles is completed, with the
exception of some light grading and the
Oconee river bridge, and cau soon lie made
ready to receive the iron—the sum necessary
for tbe same being iaconsiderable in amount,
and within the reach of the parties interest
ed. And, whereas, Macon, at the present
time, is dependent upon circuitous and ex
pensive routes for the transportation of its
freight, the saving in which for this year's bu
siness alone would have been ample to have
built the Road. And, whereas, the comple
tion of this Road would place Macon on the
great thoroughfare of trade and travel be
tween tlie cities of tbe Atlantic and the Gulf,
thus increasing its bisiness and enhancing
every interest. And, whereas, the city of
Macon and its citizens have contributed but
a small part of the rnonty already invested in
this enterprise, and it is now expected of her
that she bear that proportion of the same re
quired by her duty and her interests;
Therefore, le it Retoleed, That the citizens
of Macon do hereby pledge themselves to
subscribe the sum of twenty-five thousand
dollars to be applied forthwith to the com
pletion of this Road, upon n guarantee being
given by the company of its immediate re
sumption of work; and that Stephen Col
lins, J. W. Fears, T. R. Bloom, G. H. Hazle-
hurst, O. A. Caldwell, G. M. Logan, E. Win-
ship, J. M. Boardmnn, M. S. Thompson and
B. A. Wise be hereby appointed a committee
to call upon the entire body of citizens to so
licit tlieir subscriptions.
RceoUed, further, That we do most urgent
ly appeal to the President and Directors of
this company to second this oir endeavor,
and to use every exertion to ptsh forward
the enterprise to an early completion.
Mr. Whittle also offered the following res
olutions in regard to city water works, which
were adopted:
Setoleed, That the Mayor and Council of
the City are requested to take inmediate
steps to ascertain the feasibility of using the
water of the Ocmulgec river, or so much of
the same as_ may Jie necessary, to stpply the
City with suitable Water Works, fo: fire and
other purposes, and especially for mmufactu-
ring.
Iteeohed, That if in tlieir opinion it should
be necessary, they apply to the nextLegisla-
ture for such amendments to the city charter,
as may be requisite to effect these emls.
On motion, the proceedings were ordered
to bo published in the city papers.
Stephen Collins, Chairman.
James A. Nisbet, Secretary.
