It is said that Stanton declines to deliver
the Lincoln anniversary oration. Beecher
said, in a lecture last nfght. if he had been
President last May, he would bavo Insisted

Raymond, who is second on the committee.
They will both support the foreign policy of

The Comptroller of the Treasury desires
attention called to the fact that certain par
ties in thisoit^ are endeavoring to, raise, by
means of contribution of the various national
banks, a corruption fund of two hundred and
fifteen thousand dollars, for the purposeof sub
sidizing certain members of Congress, in or
der to secure the passage of an amendment to
the currency act, giving these banks the ben
efit of their lost circulation. This scheme
Mr. Clark discountenances altogether, and
recommends that the hanks which have al
ready contributed their quota, immediately
demand the refunding ofthe money advanced
for so dishonorable a purpose.

AVAemKOTOX, Dec. 15.—Tho disarming of
the black troops in Mississippi arises, proba
bly, from the fear of trouble, now that the
holidays are so rapidly approaching. Il is a
fact that women and children are now in the
Northern States, whose homes are in the
South, but prefer to remain where they are
until the dreaded Christmas times "have
passed.
The fears of trouble are stronger in Missis
sippi than in any other State, though in cer
tain portions of Alabama serious misgivings
exist.
When Gen. Canby mustered out the blacks
in Louisiana, recently, lie ordered them all to
be disarmed, and this action, I am informed,
was based almost solely on the fear that a
collision might occur should the- negroes be
permitted to retain their arms.
The departure tor Europe, on Wednesday,
of the chief secretary of the French Legation
is connected with the details ot the Mexican
question, and growing popular sympathy with
the Liberal cause in Mexico, together with
♦he appointment of General Logan, has led
to a communication between Count Montbo-
lon and the State Department, which resulted
in sending a message to the French Emperor
for definite instructions.
It is said the withdrawal of the French
legation from Washington will take place in
case of the formal appointment of an United
States Minister to the Mexican republic.
WasmxoTOX, Dec. 15.—The two-thirty's

this morning as disappointed by this radical
vote. The evidence in the contested legation

National Bank*,
j Having had many inquiries made as to the
- consequence of a failure of any one of the
National Banks, authorized by the goveru-
■ meat, aud their being some uneasiness felt at
report ofthe failure of four of them in the
north, we copy the following from the “com
mercial'’ of the New Orleans Crescent, which
explains the whole qnestion:
••Tlte fail arc of four National Bonks at the
north to redeem their circulation ia the Uni-
te l States treasury notes, has created a petty
panic among some holders of this currency.—
Ycstcrlsy, wc are informed, nt one, at least,
ofthe city markets, it was refased by the
batchers. Under these circumstances, and in
order to prevent ill-informed holders from sel
ling at a discount, the First National Bank
promptly gave notice, through the press,jtliat
it was ready to redeem atq National Bank
issues, at its counter, at par, in United Suites
treasury notes. In the meantime, some money
dealers were exchanging city treasury notes
for them at par. and all the banks and deal
ers were receiving them on ^fcposit, and in
some cases, exchtnging legal tender notes for
them, to accommodate timid holders.
“It is evident that the public do not apprc-
Ugcrent, and did not avoid a fkir battle in sn
open sea. Like a brave soldier, he fought
his ship until she went down under him; and
then like a true soldier, returned • to his
country to shacu her trials and misfortunes.
Throughontws whole career he has exhib-
ited none bnt the noblest qualities which
belong to mankind; and if any man deserves
the mercy of a generous and powerful govern
ment, that man in Raphael J. Semmes.—
If the charge -of piracy is bronght against
him by the vindictive blood-honnds of New
Eneland l there is not a true soldier of the
Federal army who would not denounce the
proceedings as violative of every principle
of military honor. Gen. Grant" was bold
enough to urge the quashing of the charge
which associated Gen. Lee with the Wirz af
fair. We are confident that hr, and men like
Aim, will insist upon respecting the surren
der of Gen. Lee, which embraced Commander
Semmes, at that time a brigadier general in
the Virginia army.
We are hopeful that this arrest is merely
forthe purpose of securing the testimony of
General Semmes, with reference to the ques
tions which have arisen between the United
States and Great Britian.—Montgomery Mail
J2F" The New York Port has a letter from
Galveston which say*. - “I have to-day seen a

PROSPECTUS.
themacojTtelegiupii.
New Series.
The Macon Telegraph having passed into new
hands, tho present proprietors havo thought
proper to issue this Prospectus, to which they
invite tho attention of the public.
Thp editorial columns of tho Telegraph will be
under the control of J. R. Sneed, Esq., and SamL
Boykin ; Mr. TVm. A. Reid, Business Mano w
In addition, able and truthful correspondents
will be employed in most of the leading cities of
tho Union, and at the Federal and Stato capitals,
during the sessions of Congress and the Legisla
ture. Several ot the best political and literary
writers ofthe South have been engaged, and will
furnish the readers of The Telegraph with regular
contribution*. Among these we are pleased to
announce the name of M P. W. A..” whose able
and interesting correspondence, in the Savannah
It,publican, during the late war, was so univer
sally read and admired.
Political Charactg^
In Politics, The JWcyrepAwill raaintaiu a man
ly and bona fide acquiescence in all the legitimate
consequences of the war, with the right, howev
er—one never denied even to criminals—to pro
test against injustice and unnecessary hardship.
Regarding the restoration of Georgia to her
former position in the Union, as of vital import
ance to all her interests, it will promptly sup
port all constitutional requirements, on the part
ofthe Administration at Washington, lookiug to
that end; and when perfect peace is restored, its
best efforts will be given for a revival of the bet
ter days of the Republic.
Holding that protection and loyalty—kind
guardianship and filial love—aro reciprocal du
ties in national affairs; and that there ban be no
real existence of the latter without the former,
our support and affection for the Federal Gov
ernment shall keep even pace with its regard for
tho Rights of the reople.
Leading Feature*
The leading feature in TAc Telegraph will be its
devotion to tho rights, interests and feelings of
Georgia and her stricken sister States: wc would
lift them up from the valley o f humiliation, ex
hort them to a forgetfulness of the Past, except
its glories, and nerve their arms for the arduous
struggles of the future.
Commercial Department.
The Commercial Department of The Telegraph
will receive special attention. Daily reports will
be given of all the leading markets of tho Union,
together with a full weekly review of the local
market; while, on the arrival of every steamer,
European political and commercial accounts will
be given. In this respect we hope to offer such
advantages as will make The Telegraph an indis
pensable visitor to tho counting room of every
merchant and tradesman.
Education, Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts
-will be fostered as the true sources of ail Nation
al and individual prosperity.
A Journal for tho Family.
The Telegraph will be eminently a ConsCi'calire
Journal. Nothing immoral or otherwise perni
cious will bo admitted to ifcj columns : whilst its
daily contents will be so deversified as to make it
a welcome and useful visitorin every household.

THIS INVENTION const»t» of DUPLEX (or two
Elliptic Plus Rctixed Stjuu, grasses, ingeniously JSrai-
ded Tightly and Fnuav together Enas to Enas, making
the ToCGHtrr, most Plcxibuc; Elastic and Dueablk I
Sputo ever n*ed. They seldom Bzkd or Buak, like

Tlie wonderful flexibility and great comfort and pleas
ure to any Lady wearing the Duplex Elliptic Skirt will
lie experienced particularly in all Crowded Assemblies
Operas, Carriages, Railroad Cars, Church Pews Arm
Chairs, for Promenade and House Dress as the Skirt
can be Folded when in use to occupy a small place a»
ea silv and conveniently as a Silk «-r Iti urlin D r
A lady having enjoyed the pleasure, comfort and
great convenience of wearing the Duplex Elliptic Steel
Spring Skirt for a f-ingie day, will never afterwards
willingly dispense with their use. For children, misses
and young ladies they are superior to all others.
THE HOOPS are covered 2-ply doable twisted thread
and will wear twice as long as the single yarn covering
which is used on all Single Steel Hoop 8kists. The
three bottom rods on every Skirt are also Doable Steel,
and twice or double covered to prevent the covering
from wearing oft tho rods when dragging down stairs,
on the stops, Ac., Ac., which they are constantly subject
to when in use.
All aro made of the new and elegant Corded Tapes,
and are the best quality in every pert, giving to the
