Marriages and death notices ft. A. jr im 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.

[From the Mobile Register anil Advertiser.] 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 . The Culture of the Grape in Sumter Coun ty, Ga —From a gentleman who arrived ia our eity a few days since from Americas, Sumter eounty, Ga., we learn that Mr. W. R. Stan sell, of Amerieus, has oommeaoed the planting of 10,000 vine cuttings, on his farm about four miles from Amerieus. Mr. Stan sell intends also planting several thousand peach and other fruit trees. This is amove in the right direction, and we hope that more men of equal enterprise will soon be found in our fertile back country.— Avgusta Constitutionalitt.

Mr. Overall, a member of the Committee on Plat form, introduced a preamble and raooiatioa, requesting President Johnson to re loans Jefferson Davis and restore him to eitiesa •hip. Mr. Overall commenced faking from hie piece on the floor of the hull, hot the Convention soon got wind of bis object. Cries of “Get on tbs platform,” “Wo mb'! bear you/’ were shouted over the Hones.— Mounting the platform, the speaker ooatia ued his speech amid thundering applause.— Members roae from their onto and ohm tor ward ; the wildest oxeitomcat was apparent, and the preamble and resolution were paused with thundering unanisaity. So eager was the Convention to peas the resolution, that H would not listen to n few remarks from n gentleman who arose to ooeond the amnonsn. 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.
