A True IIeartKC Btobop.—Read the ad mirable letter from Bishop Wilmer to Bishop Hopkins of the Episcopal church. It will find a response in the heart of every true southerner. Sad Accident—Font Persons Drowx- ED- A gentleman-just from Hawkinsville, informs us that aflat upset in the river at that place Friday afternoon, drowning a cirporal in the army, a negro woman and three children, and three out of six mules that were attached to a wagon in the flat when the accident occurred. About twenty- five hundred pounds of bacon was also lost. 25-^A dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette, from Washington, says that there is reason to believe that several Mexican privateers, carry ing formidable armaments, will shortly sail from certain ports on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts to prey on French commerce. Is’nt it a Yankee adventure under the Mex ican flag ? PT Maj. Gen. Lafayette McLaws, of the Confederate army, was elected Clerk of the Superior and Inferior Courts of Richmond county, in this State, Wednesday last. His father held the same office for many years.— If the son is as good at writing as he is at fighting, he will make a capital officer. -SXLTtllXA-—The Louisville (Ky.) Courier is down upon Gen. W ilson’s report of his great raid through Alabama and Geor gia. As regards the operations at and around Selma, the editor, who was there, says there is “scarcely a word of truth in the whole report” All the statements of the re port are examined and contradicted, and on the subject of losses, the Courier says: “It is the merest nonsense for Gen. Wilson to talk about forty killed in Gen. Long’s division, until he runs a harrow and a roller over the hundreds of graves in the cemetery he estab lished and where he buried his dead. .The fiict cannot be rubbed out or successfully de nied that his loss in the capture ofSelma was nearer one thousand than the figures he puts . down." ■ ; 1 1 ■ CENTRAL RAILROAD—REORGANI ZATION. The stockholders of itlie Georgia Central Railroad held their Convention in Savannah, Tuesday last. The following Board of Di rectors were chosen : e, W. B. Johnson, John W. Anderson, Andrew Low, JohnR. Wilder,’ *.'■ Goo. W. Wvlly, J. J. Waring, W. M. Wadlcy, J. F.-Gilmer, John Cunningham. Messrs. Wadley, Cunningham and General Gilmer, are new Directors, and the Board, as it stands, is an excellent one. * We lenm that at a meeting of the Board subsequent to the Convention, Wm. M. Wad- ley, was elected President of the Company. Without disparagement of the excellent gen tleman who has held the office temporarily since the death of the lamented Cnylcr,- and rendered valuable financial service to the company, we must congratulate the friends of the road on the selection .that has been made. The Central is a great and important work—important not only to Georgia, bnt the whole South—and la.behind all other roads in the matter of repairs, It needed just such a man as Mr. Wadley, to give it a hew impulse'and restore its former prosperity. He knows more of railroads and their manage ment than any man in the Union, and will give a fresh aspect to everything, and ensure the early completion of the'rogd., ^ Public Spirit and Public Convenience. —Wc learn says tlio Augusta Constitutional ist, that the Southern Express Company’s Telegraph is now in operation to Union Point, and that dispatches for Athens left at the telegraph office in this city before half-past one, p. m., will be delivered to address in Athens the same evening. The line will soon be completed to^Atlanta, When our city will l>c in direct telegraphic communication with that place and stations on the Georgia rail road. * ■ - Southerners in Brazil—-War in Soutli America. - New York, Jnn. 2.—Advices from Brazil say a commission of gentlemen from the Southern States, appointed to proceed to Bra zil and examine into its cligiblity for settle ment by dissatisfied rebels, had returned to Rio Janeiro early in December from explo rations in the Southern provincesof that Em pire, and were very sanguine regarding the resources and capabilities of the country for settlement. There were some difficulties in the* way, as the Brazilians are not favorably disposed toward the movement, and os there is a prospect of an early abolition of slavery throughout Brazil. Dates to the 10th of November from the theater of war say that the Paraguayan ar my, which had been concentrated at Corien- tes, had retreated still further into the interi or of the country among the mountains, where the ascent was. difficult. Their new position behind the defenses of Humela is said to be very strong. The allied army fol lowed the retreating forces, and were prepar ing to make an attack. Reinforcements were being pushed forward. The London papers say tha,t an expedition is being organized in Prussia for another ex ploration of the Arctic ocean, with the de sign of getting as near as possible to the North pole. The ships will lie provisioned for three years, and their crews will consist of scientifically educated men from Prussian schools. Despatches from our Exchanges. Washington, Jan. S.—General Hulford, former Exchange Commissioner, is endeavor ing to close the business of his office, which, for some time past, has been located at Rich mond. He has still on hand about one thou sand unclaimed boxes and packages, which were sent to our soldiers, whilst prisoners in Libby and Castle Thuuder, and it seems im possible to find ttie owners. Gen. Mulford recommends that the goods be either sold or turned over to the Frecdmcn’s Bureau. Most p^the packages contain blankets and cloth- Tlie contemplated increase of the regular army proves daily in favor here. Thpse who three months ago considered 75,000 too large , a number now favor augmenting it to nearly twice that force. The Military Committee will probably introduce a bill for its increase early next week. hEw^oRK, Jan. 3.—The Treasury state ment show s a decreased debt, of debt issues of 5 and 6 percent, bonds, #1,107,148,291.80; total debt bearing interest $1,179,475,235,50: matured debt not presented for payment $1,- 166,880.32; debt bearing no interest $459,- 519,950.30.

In one respect the newspapers of America bear a-striking, and by -no means flattering, contrast with those of England, France, and Germany, and indeed of most civilized coun tries. It is their disposition to descend to personal detraction and abuse. The edito rial differs, too, from nearly all other profes. sions in this regard. Lawyers, doctors, pro fessors, tradesmen etc., can all harmonize, and it is professional to treat each other in all their intercourse, with respect, if not with kindness. In our profession, alone, the most i responsible, dignified, and from which most is expected both of precept and example, we are like so many canines turned loose to snap and snarl at each other. It commenced with the blackguards who found their way in- o the press of the North, and are still there to its perpetual dishonor, and we may add, to the discredit of the Northern society; we have borrowed it from them, and by long practice made, ourselves most apt disciples in the art of vinification. A corrupt public taste, in part creating and in part the result of this lamentably state of things, is not with out fault in the matter. We here, enter our protest and appeal against the disreputable custom, especially as between members of the editorial fraternity. It is ill-bred, undignified, and unprofessional. It is an obstacle to usefulness, and in all its aspects discreditable and hurtful. The press should be the messenger of peace and good. will among men, not the hot-bed of division and strife. It is a high privilege to publbh a public journal, and one full of responsi bility. So pregnant of evil is a. licentious press, that we have sometimes almost been brought to doubt the wisdom of the consti tutional guarantee that protects its freedom, and to believe that it would be best to li cense them, as we do other institutions Bi ble to abuse. But perhaps the evils of res traint may more than counterbalance the good. The press has a power which it derives from no personal influence of the individuals who control it A man may be so degraded and worthless, that his opinion, good or bad, is a matter of perfect indifference to every body; and yet put this same individual at the head of a press,-and, if so inclined, in three weeks he will set the whole community by the cars. The moral power of society must put down, and keep down, all such abnsers of the editorial trust. It can go where the law cannot reach - its voice 13 po tential,-and there are none so hardened that they dare disobey. But we hope the time has arrived, at least ixr the South, when such an esprit du corps and high sense of moral and gentlemanly obliga tion can be got up in the profession of jour nalism that will effectually frown down every Attempt at uncalled for insult and dis courtesy among ourselves. We may differ in opinion on public questions—on measures and on men—why cannot we argue those points oT disagreement ratiohally and re spectfully, without passion and a resort to ‘vituperation? Such arguments are far more effective, and, we may add, consistent with the character of gentlemen. When men lose their temper they grow morally weaker, lose their influence for good, and never fail to give their cooler adversary the .advantage. Keep cool is a lesson we have learned in the-expe rience, sometimes dearly acquired, of an edi torial career by no means a brief one. We hold it up as a guide and admonition for the more youthful or intemperate of our honora ble craft, with the assurance that if followed, time will be shorn of many of its regrets.— We have lived to see the folly and hurtful- ness of an unbridled pen, and it is but right that we should give you the benefit of our experience. Take it for what it is worth. It is a misfortune in any community for its press to fall into intemperate or unscrup ulous hands. ’Its peace is in great jeopardy, if not at an end. It is a good rale to look well to your editor. If Jhis ends are not the country’s .good and the peace of society, withdraw your patronage and.starve him from the neighborhood, for he is an enemy and not a friend. If you have one who with singleness of purpose looks to the welfare of society in all he says-and does, patronize, encourage, and stand by him, for you will fihd him a rod and staff in many of the strug gles with the spirits of evil As regards the facts communicated in our telegram, there has been, for several years; something 'rotten in the Richmond press, some wicked and untoward influence to dis turb its harmony and bring reproach upon it. That community should investigate the mat ter and cast out the cause of trouble. In this civilized age of the world, reason and civility should, control, and the regin of passion-and rowdyism be brought to an end.. LATEST BY TELEORAFH. DISPATCHES TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. AFFAIRS ON THE RIO GRAND. LIBERAL RECRUITING OFFICE OPEN ED AT BROWNSVILLE. GENERALS CRAWFORD, WALLACE AND LOGAN ESPOUSING THE LIBERAL CAUSE. WRECK OF A VESSEL LOADED WITH ARMS, Ac.

The following are extracts Horn a letter written by Bishop Wilmer, of Alabama, to Bishop Hopkins of Vermont, setting forth some of the reasons why delegates from the various Southern dioceses did not attend the recent general convention of the Episcopal- Church in Philadelphia: “Were all men, good bishop, like-minded with yourself, we might have no hesitation in this matter; but certain painful things are brought to our earn. One party proposes ‘to keep the Southern churchmen, for a while in the cold;’ to put the rebels upon stools of re pentance, etc. We see in the Journal of 1862 certain resolutions proposed, pronouncing certain worthy bishops ‘scliismatical,’ and proclaiming the jurisdiction of another bis hop ‘null and void.’ True, the resolutions were not adopted; bat they indicate the tem per of a part of that body: and we have no means of ascertaining, the complexion of the next general convention. Fanaticism grows fast in the hour of triumph. * * * “The Southern deputies themselves may very naturally be supposed to have some sen timent in this matter. Their sons and bro thers lie in bloody graves; their lands are desolate, and strangers devour it in their presence; their emancipated slaves garrison their cities; they live themselves, as yet, under the ban; their representative man, no gniltier than themselves, is in bonds, and may have to die an ignominious death. The whole Southern peopie, therefore, are at this moment awaiting trial in the person of their representative head; they are denounced as felons, and a shackled press is forbidden to speak a word of vindication or remonstrance. “Your own heart, good bishop, will tell you that men in such a condition are in no mood to join in jubilate over a restoration which is sealed In- their degradation. The peace, for which Te Deums will be chanted, is purchas ed by the loss of their inheritance, and they are now sitting in the deep valley of humilia tion. “The men of the South have no desire to prolong the hopeless conflict. They accept the failure of their effort as a fact, and, as Christian men, will render a faitliinl allegi ance to ‘the powers that be,’ for God’s sake , but it is asking too much of them that they shall swell the pageant which celebrate their subjugation. “Some time, bishop, must lie given to the heart to school itself. Our people arc in no mood for joyous congratulations. They are not-yet out of monming for their dead. It is easy lor you to come together and to join heartily in laudates for peace and reunion.— It is easy for him who triumphs to forgive, and from your stand-pomt you can thank God with*a full heart. We are trying to for give and forget, and, lifting up our hearts un to God from the dust, wo are trying to say, ‘Thy will be done.” ' “Excuse some ol us, bishop, for preferring just now to stand aloof from the discussion of these subjects. Our own wounds are too recent to bear rough handling. We have no heart for them. Wc hstve.no wish to discuss MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. WEEKLY REPORT OF THE MACON , . . MARKET. Daily Telegraph Office, 1 Saturday Evening, Jan. -6. )•- The opening of the week was unfavorable to business, but the past three days of glorious wea ther has given lift and aetivety to every branch of trade. We have to report a good average bu siness in every department, with a rather better week’s transactions in Cotton. The good boata- ble condition of the Ocmnlgee has created a stir among cotton shippers, and a large quantity has been sent seaward by that source. The receipts for the week aro not heavy, amounting to but 52S. - The shipments for the same period are 518. Cotton—The market for the week opened firm but with an indisposition on the part of the buy ers to yield to the demands of holders for an ad vance in view of the Liverpool and New. York advices quoting an upward tendency, and but little cotton changed hands. This will apply to the first’three days of the week;, but, on Thurs day the demand was yielded, and the market taay be now quoted at from 32 to 40 extremes— with but little offering at these figures. There is a good demand for the better grades, though there seems to be little of that description in the mar ket. The sales of the week amount to 350 bales The following are the ruling rates—premising that an extra quality of strict middling ’would, command 41 cents, as wo have heard of a small lot or two sold at that figure r ’ ’ c Ordinary Middling ....... 35@36 Strict Good Middling.. .88@40 Moxet Market.—Little demand, in the mar, ket for sight exchange, with a good supply, which may be quoted at par to 1 i j pel cent, premium; gold, 45 to 47. , The following are the quotations of our prin- palbrokeis: .
