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.

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.

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.

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. decSMt* MANY VOTERS. Mrs. J. B. Robert G. Mallory F.C. Watte M. J. Bear IlunV- • II. S.
