[This Reporter thinks a plentiful application of
a turpeutinous bland of tbo above article accom

the effect of rendering his complexion, at least
two shades lighter, and remove the musky efflu

op taking hold of Green, he found between two

On bis person were found a dangerous looking

Confederate and Federal Dead.—Mr. Doher

that he has correct records of the names of Con
federate and Federal soldiers who have been in
terred in that vicinity previous to and since the
occupation of Mobile. Parties interested will
address John C. Doherty, Government Sexton,

In this connection we will mention that Geo.

eight hundred Confederate soldiers’ grayes^
which he identified and marked himself- A no

Confederate Officers is Canada.—A SPE C IA L NOTICES
recent letter from Tc jnto, Canada; gives the ■ ■ -
following interres*- : information concern- ;
ing the several Confederate officers: I met
here Gen. John C. TSreekinridgc. General ■
Causeland, Col. Ham- Gilmore, Major John g _A_ . jS. TC
Castleman. Capt. Hinds, and others who have
been officers in the armies of the Confeder
acy. General Breckinridge looks and is in
good health. It was represented daring the
war that lib hair had turned from jet black
tomlTery white. That was a mistake. A
few grey hairs arc perceptible about the
Jocks, that is all. Ho is keeping house in an
humble, retired way. He is much respected
by the citizens, and is invited to two or three
parties a week, at the residences of the first
families. He is a great walker, walking from
six to ten miles a day, while the weather per
mits such exercise. He is a hard student,
reading a great deal. I could not but think
that it is a misfortune that a gentleman of his
culture and interllect should be 'lost to his
country. A11 the gentlemen here from the
Confederate army conduct themselves with
great propriety, arxffisrc treated with respect
and attention by thWltizen.
The Free Masons to the Po?e.—Tho
Free Masons of Holland have addressed an
indignant letter to tho Pope, in which they
make the following strong averments:
That Masonry is above all religions and
philosophical systems, because it makes no
distinction of persons, and because its object
is to make humanity better and worthier.—
When a religion swerves from tho above
mentioned doctrine, and yet pronounces it
self to be s supreme truth, and the instru
ment in the bands of the people to further
the progress of civilization, we deem it our
duty to declare that such a religion places
itself beyond the pale of hnmanity : and tho
common sense or man should discard its
teachings.
Pin’s Migxolu Whiskt.—One hundred and
fifty (150) barrels pike's Magnolia Whisky jnst

The Sci*i*er >or the Benefit or the Poor.—
We trust that our notable housewives, hotel and

our kind hearted ladies of Macon, the proceeds
of which are to be handed over to Mayor Collins
for distribution among the more de*tiii

that it is more ••blessed to give than to rec<

To tlic Voters of Bibb County*
There appears to be a strong disposition cn the
part of some small wire-pullers in the county to
prejudice voters at the January election against
the claims of Solomon K. Johnson for the offi'
Tax Collector, on the ground that some of his
»rs ;yje soldier's—wounded soldiers it may
, if The mere fact that a man must have
been a soldier, is to be urged in the future as the
controlling qualification for office, then, indeed
have we misunderstood the spirit, intent and mean
ing of our civil and political institutions, as well
the best mode of securing and preserving com
petent. fit and efficient functionaries in the several
departments of our government. But, in this in
stance* we have fitness and competency combined
in Solomon R. Johnson, with all the attributes of
a prompt patriot and tried old soldier, as his record
will show. Mr. Johnson is one of only four sur
viving soldiers in Bibb county who served in.the
Creek war of 1836—and when Gov. Brown called
out the militia over 45 years of age, Solomon R.
Johnson responded promptly, and was In the bat
tles around Atlanta and at Jonesboro. Qe had
only two sons at the commencement of the late
unfortunate family Jar with the North—both of
them entered the Confederate gervice as volun
teers—one of them fell at Gettysburg, and sleeps
the sleep that knows no waking; the other re
ceived a severe wound ou the head, that may yet
endanger the integrity of hia brain. So wo per
ceive that Mr. Johnson presents as good a record
on the war sensation as any of his opponents can
furnish; besides, he la an old citizen, who, since
the war, to left dependent upon his own exertions
for the support of himself and family. We trust
he will be elected to the office of Tax Collector at
the forthcoming election.
