MACON. TUESDAY MORNING,
m Great Nmmety at cor
respondent of the Chicago Republican,
who has lately visited Montreal, writes that
he has been to sey th*gray nunnery there,
and has examined it with great interest.
The institution iff nn having been
founded nearly two hundred yeiirs ago,
and is now in a very flourishing condition.
Access to it is extremely easy, and at this
season of travel there is a stream of visi
tors constantly pouring in and out of its
doors. These visits are profitable to the
sistern, for though there is no charge for
admission, and no .ppparept «UD«£tatro of
fees, yet an extensive sale of fancy
work, beads, pin-cushions, worked crosses,
and the like, made in the nunnery and pur
chased by visitors as mementoes. You
would almost think, in passing through
some of the fooms, that the *ind
decrepit, admitted into thtfHunfigfy %
couple of centuries ago, had been by some
miraculous preserving power kept alive,
and were now sitting in the sains places
they had taken at that time- At almost
every step on the lower floor you come
upon some bowed and shriveled old man
or woman, w’hose looks would indicate
that the winters of at least a ceutury had
passed over them. Many were sitting on
the porch warming their frozen old bones
iu the kindly sunlight, and others were be
ing wheeled about in their comfortable
carriage like chairs. Everything showed
such good care of the old and the weak.
Some of the chairs for the deformed and
sickly are luxurious in their comfortable
ness, and throughout there seems to be no
expense spared in making the life of these
dependents as tolerable as possible.
children seemed bright and cheerful, the
old folks comfortable, and the women were
singing at their work, while they knitted,
or wove, or turned the busy wheels of the
numerous sewing machines.
Alabama Baptiet Attociation. —Our last
report of the proceedings of this Associa
tion L«-o«ght ua tl.« consideration of the
relations between the white and black
members of the Church.
The Association was addressed by Rev,
Mr. Tiehenor in a speech which it is not
panegyric to describe, as elegant aild com
prehensive and completo.
H e reviewed the whole subject so clearly
and so fully, that there was left to those
who followed him little or nothing to say
upon it.
A copy of this speech, to b« published
in the Minutes, and in pamphlet form, has
bven asked for, and Mr. Tiehenor will well
serve the cause by complying with this re
quest.
On Monday morning, upon transacting
the regular business of finance, and pas
sing the usual resolutions of thanks for
courtesies extended by the churches and
citizens to the members, the Association
was, after prayer by Elder D. Lee, Mod
erator, adjourned, to meet with Damascus
Church, in Butler county,on Friday before
the second Sabbath in October next.—
Montgomery Advertiser, 11/A.
Ot.nrqt Catlin, the Indian Painter. —Hr. If. D.
Conway writes from Osteud to the Round Table:
But by far the most interesting person here to me
a the American traveler, George Cislin. He has
for several years resided here, living almost - the
life of a hermit, in order to accomplish the special
work to which hia life has been devoted. As some
of my readers may not kuow as much about Gat
lin as they will when be is dead, let me say that
this remarkable man was born between sixty and
seventy years ago, in Wilkeshiarre, Wyoming
county, Pa., educated well in Connecticut, end
that early iu life he took a paksion for Indians.
Being an accomplished painter, (his life up to 1882
tieing given to portrait painting in Philadelphia,)
he went among the Indians of Western Missouri
to mnke sketches, and being well received by
them, and learning their language, he visited and
fur a time resided with every important tribp. oi
both North and South America. There are, It
.ill be remembered, over five hundred Indian
tribes in North and South Ambries. Mr, Gaelic
lived with them, without touching civilization, the
best fourteen years of his life, visit mg Venezuela,
Guinn*, the Amazoo, the Audes, Peru, Cafiloyniji,
Bolivia, and Columbia. He accumulated sketches
and studies of Indian characters, scenes, dances,
etc., making some thousand pictures, containing
about thirty thousand figures These are of the
utmost importance, especially considering how
many of the tribes and their customs are dy?bg
out. Mr. ’'Cislin, after his sojourn among the
Indians, went with a party of them to tisitXurope,
and they were exhibited iu the chief cities sod
towns in the world.
He published in two large volumes, finely
illustrated, an aocount of hia travels in North and
South America, and also a deeply interesting
account, in t*o volumes, of his journeying* with
the Indian party through Europe. No tther^ac*
count ot Indian life will compare with his ib inter
est, for be wields as brilliant and graphic a pen as
pencil. He has now come here tb put into com
plete shape bis thousand large pioiuree, which he
hopes to complete before hia death, sad leave die
world the only “Indian Gallery,” which it will
have. Humboldt thought that his services were
invaluable, and his intimate friend Lonis
Phillippe invited him to show some of his sketch**
at the Louvre, which he did; hi* six hundlwd
pictures exhibited there, and a Iso at the Egyptian
Museum in London, excited much attention anawag
ethnologists. Lately he published in English sod
French a deeply interesting little work for child
ren, called “La Vie Che* les Indies, M with twenty
four engravings. He has also found time to write
the very remarkable pbampblet which produced
so much sensation among medical men, declaring
the connection between health end keeping the
mouth cloned. Even Thomas Carlysle declared
this pbampblet “s sane voice in a world es chaos.”
Oasliu declares that he learned the secret of keep
ing the mouth closed among the Indians, who
never sleep, nor let their children sleep, with open
mouths, for tear evil spirits will enter them, and
that he has cured himself of consumption by the
plan. (It is worthy of remark that Kent, the
philosopher, declared that he had escaped con
sumption by the same method.) Dr. Smith, phy
sician of the leading hospital of London, has in
dorsed this pamphlet; and, indeed, the approval
I of so many madical men ha* led him to prepare a
I aeoond enlarged edition. Mk- t
Visit of the flmperor of Franco t o the
Jr, ! «ar Tomb of his Mother.
The foreign journals inform us that
Labis Napolean, accompanied by Eugenie,
paiLa visit of a few days Arenenberg, last
month. In the castle there, on the shore
it Lake Constance, many of Napoleon’s
eariy rears were past. There he educated
himseif. There bis mother, Queen Hor
tense, died, and in this chapel of the castle
his filial piety erected her statue. The
fir thing he did when he went to Areuen
titig was to visit thia chapel—and breathe
a silent prayer before the sculptured re-
Criblaoce of hie mother—the only human
i »g, it ia said, lor whom bo ever cherish
ed that full sentiment of affection which,
puile and perfected, bears the naineof Love.
Thht man with iron hand and heart of
stohe, is believed to have loved his mothor
with the tenderest affection. In the
Sahara of his remarkable career, this is the
one green spot—the solitary oasis.
Many of the inhabitants of Arenenberg
recollected, in the bronzed Emperor, the
pale, thin, unemotional young man wto,
umofe than a quarter of a century ago, had
returned from his exile in the United
States to receive the last blessing and
latest breath of that mother who, what
ever her faults, very tenderly loved him,
flq it is said, died as she lived, in the full
belief that be would one day sit upon the
the throne ol France. As he sat, on a
gloomy day, early in October, 1837, by her
death bed, what tumultuous thoughts
mufet hove filled his saddened inind. He
had been left
“With none ta lore him, none whom he couM
love.”
and thenceforth, Ambition was in his heart
what Affection is to other men. Thence
forth his aim was to restore the Napole n
dynasty; and he succeeded. No one can
deny that he has had the crown. Napo
leofi really is an actor who is never off the
scene; on his life drama the curtain will
nevtor drop until the allotted hour comes for
him as it cbmes for every descendant of
Adam. Conjectures are certain to be
made on his most ordinary actions—con
jectures which sometimes give little credit
to his head or heart. AH men who rise to
prosperity or eminence from an humble
commencement, return, sooner or later, *0
the place where their youth had been
passed, where their hearts had been
traced for the actions which finally had
maitered Fate or won Fame, or, it may
be,: conquered Fortune. In revisiting
Arenenberg last month, Napoleon, while
aeeiningly acting on his own will, was real
ly obeying an imperative moral law.
4-8 we have said, his pilgrim feet first
turfted to the little chapel which contains
the marble statue of bis mother, Hortense
Eugenie Beauharnais, only daughter of
the Empress Josephine, and who had her
self for a time worn the crown as Queen
Consort of Holland. While this beautiful
and unfortunate woman lived scandal was
busy with her fame (scandal declared that
none of her husband’s blood ran in the
veins of either of her sons;) scandal has
not spared her in the grave, but, whatever
her faults as wife, and who dare cast the
first stone at her r she was a loving, tender,
faithful mother; nor will humanity think
less of the man who so long fought against
the world, and who won the battle of Life,
because they find him, at the climax of his
prosperity, when he is virtually, Autocrat
of Europe, still fondly cherishing the mem
ory of the mother who loved him so very
dearly.
When his mother died, Napoleon was
an almost nameless exile, the scorn of men,
for he had failed in his hasty and ill ar
ranged attempt at Strasburg, had experi
enced the supercilious clemency of Louis
Philippe, and had returned without per
mission from the exile to which that crafty
Citizen King had doomed him. He
returned to Arenenburg, the other day,
the Lord of the Tuileries and Versailles
and Fountainbleau, recognized representa
tive of the Bourbon monarchy and the Na
poleonic empire, conqueror of Russia in
the Crimea, victor of Bolferino, founder of
the Kingdom of Italy, trusted ally of Eng
land, arbitrator of Europe. This man was
more far seeing than people believed.—
When his mother died, in 1837, he was in
his thirteenth year—had thought, read and
written much—had seen many countries
and their inhabitants. He alone knew
how weak were the obstacles which im-
Eeded the path to his uncle’s throne, and
e must have been conscious of the great
ness of that innate strength, that all-corn
polling will, on which he trusted for suc
cess, and trusted not in vain.
At the </tramp de Mars, held at Paris on
the eve of Waterloo, this Napoleon, then on
ly six years old, was presented to the army
by the returned Emperor, as the proxy of
the young King of Rome, the true heir who
was absent with his mother, that fair and
fitithless Austrian, then in Vienna. When
the great man fell, the fortunes of his nephew
declined to zero. He belonged, that boy,
Jko a proscribed race and an exiled dynasty.
Queen Hortense was driven from place to
pt&oe with' her sons, and it was in Switzer
land alone where they found a sure asylum,
if not a oordial weloome. Thoro the pres
ent Emperor was educated : there he heard
of the death of his great uncle; there be
heard of the downfall of the Bourbons and
the death of his cousin, the Duke de Reich-
Btadt, and his own elder brother, who per
ished in the Italian insurreotiou of 1831.
From that hour Louis Napeieon claimed
to be the representative of thedyuasty which
his uncle had founded. In the castle in the
canton of Thurgan, which he so lately revis
ited, this young man led a quiet, student
life for some years, writing books which few
1 then read and fewer believed. He had got
theorize about his rights, and made his
coup [d’etat and failure at Strasbourg. Next
a pardon which humiliated its receiver be
cause it told that be was powerless, an exile
to the New World, and a hasty return to
his mother’s death bed. But Louis Phil
lips, alarmed at his presence in Europe, de
manded that Switzerland should expel him,
and would have backed up that demand by
force of arms if Louis Napoleon had not
himself solved the difficulty by returning to
England where all political offenders are
safe. -
What followed ? The ludicrous coup d’etat
at Boulogne, in 1840, the trial before the
Chamber of Peers at Paris, the condemna
tion, the six year’s imprisonment at Ham,
the escape, the return to France after the
revolution of 1848, the election as President,
the coup defat of Deoember 1, 1851, and
finally the Empire.
Xtuth, in this man’s career have been ex-
p. rieoc.il many and singular vieisitudes. As
»««• giial i»n the blue water* of Lake Oon
s'anoe from the jastelUted towers so familiar
to him in youth and e»rly manhood, his
heart maat have swelled with conflicting
emotions There may be yot other phases
of his fats—for there is no way of making
the wheel of fortuue stand still.

The Labor Question.
The great practical question calling tor
solution in the South is that of labor. How
are these rice, cotton, sugar and tobacco
fields, teeming with hidden wealth and
ready to yield to the hand of industry pro
ductions the most valuable to commerce
and the most necessary to the human fami
ly, to be worked ? That they will be
worked is a proposition about which we
entertain no manner of doubt How long
is the space of time since California was a
wild, roamed over by scattered tribes of
Italians, who disputed with bears and tigers
the title to its domain. California, away
off, almost on the other side of the globe,
removed by thousands of miles from the
haunts of civilized man, is dow a rich and
populous State. What has wrought the
marvellous change ? The answer is in one
word—Gold. The fame of its mines drew
the adventurous and enterprising from the
most distant countries —the Asiatic vicing
with the American and the European, in
the* rush to disembowel the earth of its
golden riches.
The first white man who discovered the
existence of the untold California wealth,
might well have asked, where is the labor
to come from that is to develop it ? That
is just the questiou now being asked by
the land owners of the South. The an
swer is the same. Where the carcass is,
the eagles gather. Where gold is to be
had for the digging, whether in the shape
of sugar, cotton, or the yellow dross iteelf,
the diggers will be forthcoming. Cotton
at 40 ceuts the pound, offers a higher re
turn for labor than gold washings in the
placers of California. Our proposition
then, is, that whether the black labor of
this country is or is not made available for
the staple productions of the South, these
staples will be produced. It is a debat
able question whether the habits and tem
perament of the negro in a state of freedom
are compatible with useful voluntary labor.
A great many persons doubt it. What is
clear is, that it is the duty aod the policy of
Southern Government and Society to at
tempt to remove these doubts by fair and
judicious experiment. That they should
exist now at a period so recent since the
most extraordinary upheaving of the en
tire labor system of a country, that the
world has ever seen, is not surprising.—
But time may and we hope will, correct
the evil, and we hail with satisfaction every
proposition brought’ forward by the in
telligent and reflecting minds of the coun
try that looks to a solution of the great
problem.
Os this nature is the plan originating and
now being very freely discussed in the coun
ty of Monroe. A leading mover in it is our
well knowu former fellow townsman, Col.
Garland Goode. The thought is to establish
in that county an agricultural asssooiation,
seeking to embraoe every planter and land
owner in it. The object of the society is to
combine the personal and associated influ
ence of its members to bear upon the estab
lishment of mutual relations of oonfidenoe
and good understanding between employers
and laborers. This society will undertake
to see that full justice is done to the negro
who hires to a planter in the matter of punc
tual payment of fair wages, of ample provis
ion for clothing, food, and whatever else is
stipulated in his contract They will also un
dertake, under certain sanctions to beagreed
upon, to see that the negro performs his part
of the contrsot in faithful service. To seeore
the confidence of the laborer, it is proposed
to associate with the governing oommittee of
the Sooiety the agent of the Freed
men’s Bureau, so long as that institntion is
maintained. The Legislature is to be ap
plied to for a charter for the association,
thus adding the sanction of the law to the
social power of the society. We understand
that the offioer of this Bureau in that oounty
highly approves the scheme, and that Col.
Goode is about to repair to Montgomery for
the purpose of consulting with Gov. Parsons
and Gen. Swsyoe upon the subject.
We are not prepared to maintain that this
plan would meet all the requirements of the
problem as a permanent system. But as a
temporary expedient it strikes us as highly
worthy of consideration and trial. It is a
move in the right direction. It aims at the
root of the evil, and that is to remove the
distrust which is between the planter and his
former slaves. The plan is so simple in its
execution, that if it takes in Monroe it will
be of easy imitation in every county of the
State. It is desirable that the machinery
should be set io motion as early as possible,
with reference to the next crop. Our opin
ion is, that if pursued with ene'rgy and en
thusiasm, the larger part of the negro labor
of the State may be put to work in the pro
duction of the crop of 1866— t0 the obvious
benefit of the negro himself, and to the gen
eral prosperity of the country.
The Final Conflagration. —lt is not a little
remarkable that the predicted burning of
the world, and the circumstances attend
ing it, as foretold in Scripture, are both
natural, and have a strict coincidence with
scientific probability. It is computed by
French astronomers that more than fifteen
hundred fixed stars have disappeared with
in the last three centuries. La Place says
that one of these stars, situated in the
Northern hemisphere, gave the most in
disputable evidence of having been con
sumed. It was so bright as to be visible
to the naked eye at mid-day—“first of a
dazzling white, then reddish yellow, and
lastly of an ashy pale color. The con
flagration lasted, and was visible, sixteen
months, when the star forever disappear
ed.”—Mmouri Republican .

Episcopal Jurisdiction. —Some tiaee sines
Rev. Dr. Armitage, an eminent Baptist cler
gyman of New York, officiated in a marriage
service at Rev. Mr. Tyng’e church, with
wbieh act Rev. Bishop Potter manifested hie
disapprobation. Dr. A., we further learn,
read the Episcopal eervioe made and provid
ed for the marital sacrement. The arena
stances of the case, as we learn, are them:
At the period alladed to Rev. S. H. Tyng.
Jr., called upon the Reverend Mr. A., and
told him that he (S. H. TANARUS., Jr.,) woe deter
mined to present a case by wbieh thenwthsr
ity of Bishop Pot-er’e Pastoral Letter could
be amply tested. The young minister said
he was determined to try whethsr n Pishtp
had the right to prevent him •d»icc«mg %
minister of another denomination to hie
church, when the Bishop himself had per
mitted n priest of the Greek Church to offi
ciate at an Epiaoopol niter.
The marriage servioe thus alladed to, and
the subsequent fraternisation with ministers
of other denominations, have panned many
High-Church divines to insist upon the Bish
op exercising his prelsticsl authority, and
degrading the young and refractory minima.
Thus for, however, no action hno bean token.
The Bishop, it is thought, cannot long with
stand the clerical force who are anxious that
ecclesiastical punishment shall he adminis
tered, not only for tho not of permitting n
marriage to he oonolndod by n minister of
another ohnreh, but also for a fresh assault
upon the Episcopal canons in allowing the
Rev. Dr. Stem to officiate in an Episcopal
pulpit
The Bishop has three penalties at hie fls
posal, viz.: First, Admonition,; Sooowd, Sus
pension ; Third, Degradation.
The first implies mere censure, and with
many, if not a Low-Churehmaa, would
amount to nothing.
The second would cause a temporary re
moval from the offioe of minister.
The third would result in an official ex
oommuoieation.
The whole matter is now being watched
with intense interest by both branches of tho
Epiaoopal Church, as well as by the member
ship of other denominations.
