ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MAY 31. Periodical Literature. Phillips &, Crew still continue to keep all the periodical literature. They have all the magazines for June—Godey, Harper, Dcmorcst. Leslie, and others that delight the ladies so much. C3T Senator Sherman says the strength of the Democratic party lies in the pest' houses of large cities. Better that than in their penitentiaries, where the Radical strength lies. Tlie Fenian Raid. Our telegraphic dispatches bring us daily many interesting particulars of the Fenian raid on Canada. Grant has taken a stand against it. O'Neil, the leader, has been ar rested by the United States authorities. The English troops are moving to the front. And the Indication is, that Uie affair will be a failure. The Value of Logs. In sixteen counties in this State, in March and April, dogs killed 2£33 hogs. In Missouri and Illinois in thirty counties over 10,000 hogs were killed. In417 coun ties In the Union nearly 100400 were killed. Agricultural Report. We thank Ron. Horace Capron for the Agricultural report for March and April. The April returns relative to the appear ance of wheat and rye and other cereals are very complete, and represent every sec tion of the country in which the crops are grown. They picture a small and slow growth, thinned in places by winter-kill ing, weak and unthrifty in spots from loss of vitality by long exposure under ice or to Convention.

The Suit, We tender our congratulations to his Lltigilency, Governor Bullock, on bis re turn home, and hope he finds his legal baby in a buxom fix. While telegraphing, its birth did not shut the brakes on that bribery report in Wash ington, and scare Congress and the North ern press very badly; still there is no tell ing what a bobbery It may have stirred up among the non-reading African subscri bers of the Governor’s organ. The Kcarsage and Alabama. The House of Representatives passed a hill last Saturday that recalls the cele brated light between the Confederate steamer Alabama, under Scinmes, and the United States steamer Kcarsagc. under Winslow, on the 10th or June, 1861, near Chcsbourg, France. The Alabama was sunk. This bill gives $1110,000 to the commander and crew of tbe Kcarsagc. The Public Debt. The humorous Congressman from Ken tucky—Mr. Knott—in a late speech, thus described the public debt: “There Is one way, however, and only one way, by which the human Intellect can approach a realization of the magnitude of this sum; and that is by comparison. Each greenback dollar bill is about seven inches in length. Now, place two thousand live hundred millions of them in a line, and you will find it will be over two hundred and fifty thousand miles long! Geographers tell us it Is twonty-fivc thousand miles around the earth. Our public debt would therefore make a band of greenback dol lars that could encircle this globe more than ten times.' It is said to be two hun dred and forty thousand miles from the earth to the moon. If this is so, our debt would mako a rope of greenback dollars long enough to cable the moon to the earth, and have over tcu thousand miles to sag!” [Laughter.] Senator Sawyer, of South Caro lina, Spcakcth. “And permit me to add that 1 see no log ical connection between the removal of disabilities and tbe return of Jefferson Davis or Robert Toombs to their old places of honor and trust in this Government. If the public sentiment of Mississippi or Georgia is so thoroughly disloyal as to render the election of men like these prob able, then onr reconstruction is a failure, and time only will relieve us from the evils legislation has sought in vain to cure. But If, as 1 believe, the vast majority of the people of those States care little for Jeffer son Davis or Robert Toombs, or any other rebel leader, except as they arc compelled to think of them as under the ban of ineli gibility to public office, when yon remove from them the badge of distinction which they wear and parade, they will sink into that Insignificance which is tho common fate of the defeated leaders of a lost cause. 1 ' Tho Money Order System, The present money order system is about to supersede all of the methods of trans mitting small sums of money, lo 1S69 its transactions amounted ro fifty millions, or double the year before. The offices num ber over fifteen hundred. The largest amount that can be sent is fifty dollars. The cost Is ten cents for twenty dollars, and five cents for every additional ten dol lars. Wc have opened up connection with Switzerland In the money order system. New York City Ton-office issues five hundred orders a week and pays eight thousand. The small offices Issue more or ders than they pay, while the larger cities reverse it- The money order division at Washing ton belongs to the Treasury Department, though superintended by a member of, and carried on in the l’ostal Department. It costs nothing to the tax-payers, as it is self-supporting. The revenue from this source in lSO'J was $<15,000.

This company has a Southern depot in Atlanta, with Mr. J. K. Jamieson as agent. Mr. J. Henly Smith is agent for the sale of tbe work in Fulton and DeKalb coun* ties, is now taking subscriptions, and will have a supply on band for delivery to sub; scribers early next week. Persons wish ing the book can obtain it by applying to him, or addressing him through the post- office. Orion Dozier will also receive subscrip tions at his new depot at the post-office. We have simply glanced through tbe book, reserving a careful perusal and a full criticism for leisure hereafter. It is very handsomely bound and printed, and is filled with fine engravings of Mr. Stephens, General Beauregard, General Toombs, Mr. Douglas, President Lincoln, President Davis, General Lee, General Joe Johnston and President Grant. The personal experiences of these men arc not tbe least interesting part of tbe work. Mr. Stephens is a very close obser ver of men, and an acute judge of charac ter, and his opinions are full of weight and interest. Thc contents of tbe work are varied and interesting. One would imagine them to be dry, from the nature of the theme; but written in Mr. Stephens’ graphic and crystal style, and embracing the leading topics and characters on both sides of the great struggle, and utterly free from prejudice, the book is a most fascinating one for every class of readers. We close this brief notice with the fob lowing estimate of Grant. Mr. Stephens says of the President— then General Grant—in January, 1865, that he left “The conviction on my mind, that, taken all in ail, be was one of the most remarka ble men I had ever met, and that liis career in life, if his (lays should he prolonged, was hardly entered upon; that his character was not yet fully developed; that he him self was not aware of his own power; and that if he lived, he would, in the future, exert a controlling infiuencc in shaping the destinies of this country, for good or for evil. Which it would be, time and cir cumstances alone could disclose. That was the opinion of him then formed, and it is tbe same which has been uniformly expressed by me ever since.” BT GOETHE.

Horace Greeley proves to be very nnmal- lcable stuff in the bands of Rufus. He re fuses to look through Gov. Bullock’s spec tacles. He thus punctures Gov. Bullock’s pet egotism that he is the Bcpublican party of Georgia: Gov. Bullock presents his arguments against thc Bingham amendment to the Georgia bill and the points of his quarrel with Mr. Joshua Hill in a long letter, of which the noticeable passages we give else where. In the qnarrel the public have no interest, and it is rather impertinent in Mr. Bullock to thrust it upon the public atten tion. The point of the argument against the Bingham amendment seems to lie in the fact that its adoption will put an end to the official career of Gov. Bollock and the other members of the present State Gov ernment. Gov. Bullock asks us to believe that such personal fate will be the death of Republicanism in Georgia. Really, we can’t. We have a little too much faith in the ultimate triumph of true principle to be easily convinced that thc life of thc par ty depends on continued office-holding by any particular man. Challenged on tlie Pardon Subject. Two of Governor Bullock’s personal or gans, his Atlanta and Griffin concerns^eem galled by the way they wince at our allu sions to Governor Bullock’s abuse- of the pardoning power. The Atlanta sheet dares ns editorially, and the Griffin sheet dares us in a marginal note on a marked copy of the paper to copy an article from tbe Car- tersville Express. We have not the space, but will give fairly the substance of the article. The Sheriff of Fulton arrested Mr. R. L. Sellers and several other citizens for tbe murder of one Morris, who was accidentally killed in an attempt to arrest the notorious Jim Harerow. Upon petition Governor Bul lock pardoned the arrested parties. The Express compliments tbe Governor highly, and calls for more charity to the Governor in judging him abont thc pardoning busi ness, and Suggests that, to wipe out old scores, the liberal pardon policy is the best. We give the view, reserving comment for tbe future, in order that the Governor may have the benefit of Democratic good opinion. Sherman and Hancock. The papers are generally copying this rude reply of General Sherman to General Hancock’s request to be put in Thomas’ place in command of the Pacific: “ I am requested by the President to in form you that there is nothing iu your per sonal relations to General Grant, or In your official relations to his administration, that could justify your promotion now, or lead you to expect it hereafter.” The New York Tribune says that this is Incorrect. The true version is as follows: “The President authorizes me to say to you that it belongs to his office to select the Commanding Generals of Divisions and Departments, and that the relations yon chose to assume toward him officially and privately, absolve him from regarding your personal preferences.” This very materially alters the case, though it does not relieve Grant from a dis courtesy and injustice that is well stated in the following reply of General Han- “As tbePresldent leads me to believe that because I have not his personal sympathy, my preferences for command will not be regarded, notwithstanding my rank, I shall not again open the subject, bnt will add, in conclusion, that I think it is an unfortunate precedent to establish that military rank in time of peace, especially in the assignment of general officers to commands of divisions and departmentashall not have the consid eration hitherto connected to it.” The Tribune claims that Grant is now paying -Hancock hack In his own coin, Hancock having snubbed him sometime back.

O, not upon our tented fields Are freedom's heroes bred alone; The training of tno workshop yields More heroes true than war has know nl Who drives tbe bolt, who shapes tho steel, May, with a heart as valiant smite, As he who sees a foeman reel In blood before his blow of mightl The skill that conquers space and time. That graces life, and lightens toil. May spring from courage more sublimo Than thatwhich makes the realm its spoil. Let toilers, then, look np and sec. Their craft no pith of honor lacks; The soldier’s rifle yet shall be Less honored than tho woodman's axe. Let Art its own apimintment prize.

Ol Ircsh, how fresh and fair Thru’ thc crystal gulfs nf air, ThefairySouthwindfloatctUon bersubt'-o wings of balm. And thc green earth lapped in bliss To the magic of her kiss. Seems yearning upward fondly thro* thc goldcn- cres ted calm; From the dbtant tropic strand Where thc billows bright and bland Go creeping, curling ’round the palms In the liu&h of summer's noon. From its fields of purpling flowers Still wet with fragrant (lowers, jySouthwind " ■looms ol June. All heavenly fancies rise On the perfume of her sighs. That steop the inmost spirit in a languor rare and fine. And a peace more pure than sleep’s. Unto dim, half-conscious deeps, 'to me lulled on' light tides divine. [EXTRACTS.] Special Foreign Cor. Atlanta Constitution ) I’aris, May 7,1S70. Thc expulsion of tiic Italian Ccruuclii. has caused an expression of much regret, not only among the well-wishers of the government for the severity of the meas ure, but among that gen’-h-nanu’a circle of friends. He was a Republican, but not a socialist. In giving fr. 20900(1 to tlie irreconcilable earnp, to carry on the negative vote, his fault was not likely to be contagious, living as we do in a world even of millionaires. Tlie best proof is. Uni! no one lias imitated it. lie ought to be allowed to return, on condition that be would not give away a like sum, before tbe mass vote was taken. On tbe morning of liis departure, lie wrote to the Home Minister that he was leaving, as ordered, France, but that lie had a little dog, incapable of bearing long and sudden journeys, of new climates, and begged the Minister to givo “ Toto ” the benefit of na turalization, extended to French dogs, by placing him in thc Jardin d’acclitnatation. Fortunately Continental politics are not exciting. Tlie next move is generally ex pected Irom Spain, where the mutism of l’rini, is the subject of general observation. It is generally believeu he is going to make a dash for being a “ Savior of Society.” Political lampooning is carried on to a S cat extent, very publicly too, and at the arshal’s expense, at Madrid. The dons may laugh, but by and by, he will make them like Cardinal Mazariu and thc French, pay for the music. Apart from the shoal of political pham- phlets, tbe only new event in literature, is a “ Lire Journal” brought out in thc Ja- S ancse language, not by the natives resi- ent here, but by tbe professor of that lan guage iu tbe College of France. It will not have tho “ widest circulation in the world.” The 5th instant being tlie forty-ninth an niversary of the death ot the First Napo leon, in memoriam masses were celebrated in several chapels, notably at the Tuilerits. in presence of the Imperial family. There was a time when this epoch served also to display tho national hate against the great man’s “ gaoler,” Sir Hudson Low. whose name became the synonym for persecu tion, and whose “cruelties,” real or im agined, found expression in a moving drama or a screaming farce. In Eugland Sir Hudson was accused of the Lilliputian amusement of “ sticking pins And needles in tbe great man’s breeches.” Five days before his death Napoleon was seized with a shivering fit and nothing could restore the natural warmth of the body. The English doctors were honored by being consulted, but were not allowed to see the patient, whose last words were— “head—army.” In accordance with his wish thc autopsy was made to ascertain tlie cause of death, witli tbe view of preventing the same disease, if it existed, in liis sou. The father died of stomach complaint. Na poleon the Second, of consumption. The father’s heart, bequeathed to his wife, Ma ria Louisa, was deposited in a silver urn. On his coffin were placed his sword ami thc celebrated cloak he wore at Marengo, and now in possession of the present Em peror. The French do not forget the testi mony borne by nature to his greatness. At thc moment he expired a frightful Uurri cane shook tlie isle from its propriety. “When beggars die there arc no comets see" ; FOOD FOKFARMERS. A New i’lau to Kill tbe Caterpillar. Mr. Charles Steanman, of Assumption Parish, Louisiana, has shown the editor of the New Orleans Picayune a model fora cotton worm destroyer, whieh is thus de scribed by that paper: It consists of an ordinary steam boiler, provided with a novel arrangement of tubes or pipes for tlie distribution of tlie steam generared by it, and a reservoir or tank to contain thc fluid, which latter is a secret of the inventor. Tho reservoir is supplied with mechanical appendages for the proper distribution of tbe fluid. Tlie whole combination is placed upon a frame, with wheels, in order that the machinery may be easily trans portable in its operations against iliceot- ton worm. In regard to the operation of the machine we learn that after the boiler and heater have l»con supplied with water, ami the tank with fluid, steam U raised and tlie machine placed in position to begin work between two rows of cotton. The steam passes through the fluid and trail - forms it into vapor, which, intermingling and spreading out with thc steam, envelops Hie proximate rows of cotton plantsaand kills every caterpillar or other iuscct upon them. Its effect is said to ho so deadly that it also destroys the eggs of the worm, and leaves its mark, invisible to thc naked eye, upon every part of thc plants which have becu bathed with it. Through this agency worms which may afterwards conic into the field lrom other quarters arc kept off, tiius shielding the plant against further injury by any new comers of tho caterpil lar species. The machine, which has al ready been put under practical test by sev eral planters, will be ou exhibition at our State Fair. Strange if True. Tho Charleston News recently gave the following strange story: A few days since, there was a colored man in tlie city with a scar entirely around bis neck. It is stated that during theclos- ing days of the late war, lie was tried by a drum-bead court martial, found guilty, sen tenced to death, duly bung, ami prononneed dead by two surgeons In attendance, one of whom secured the body. He then restored the banged man to life. Although he was to all appearances dead, yet tlie vital spark was not quite extinct. Tho hanged man idd himself until thc war was over, mid then settled on a farm within thirteen miles of the city, where lie is now at work. The scar alluded to is but the marks nf thc rope by which he was suspended. The execu tion, it is alleged, took place in Kershaw county. It is also stated that the surgeon who restored the man to life is now a resi dent of this city. Whorcwita like soft heat-lightnings they gird their meaning round. And those waters, calling, calling. With a nameless charm enthralling. Like the ghost of music melting on a rainbow- spray of sound 1 Touch, tonch mo not, nor wake me 1 Lest grosser thoughts o’ertake me, From earth receding faintly with her weary din and jars; What viewless arms caress me. What Eden voices bless me. With welcomes dropping dew-like from thc weird and wondrous stars. Alas! dim, dim, and dimmer Grows the preternatural glimmer Oftbattra-ce the Southwind brought mo on her subtle wings of balm. For bohold! its spir : t flicth. The Rome Courier announces that thc Rev. D. B. Hamilton, of Cave Spring, has accepted invitation to deliver thc Masonic address in that city on the 24th of June. Although in these latter days the Revo lutionary party attack the fame ol “the glorious despot,” the nation will never for get Austerlitz and Marengo. For ages to come Napoleon will be a name to conjure with. Bourrieff. The Firm of Forucy and Bullock Tbe Romo Daily, 26th, says: “ Oats, which were so retarded by the drought, arc now growing finely, and there is still time for them to make a good crop.” The Savannali Advertiser, of Thursday, says nearly thc whole population of the city witnessed the grand regatta on the second day. The “Queen” and “King” were the winning beats. The Macon Journal, of the 27tb, states that Mr. Broughton is still improving and and will soon be out of danger. Ross, who shot Broughton, has not yet been heard from. The Annual Conclave for the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar for the State of Georgia will assemble in annual Conclave next year, on the 4th Wednesday in May, in Atlanta. The Dawson Journal, 26th, says The oldest citizens do not remember ever see ing so backward a spring, and we have heard of fields of cotton being planted in Webster county this week. The Spring term of Terrell countv Su perior Court convened last Monday. There are one hundred and thirty-eight cases on the civil docket and forty have been dis posed of. Tbe Court will probably hold over a part of the next week. The Marietta Journal says: “ Corn is growing finely. Cotton thrifty. Wheat excellent, promises abundant harvest. Good rains Tuesday and Wednesday above and below here.” The Covington Enterprise says: On last Tuesday night, the 24th, a negro by the name of Isnman Harper, while fishing on Yellow River, near the Georgia Railroad bridge, about four mile3 from Covington, was brutally murdered by some unknown person. The Macon Telegraph and Messenger. 26th, says tbe residence of Charles T. Ward, Ordinary of this connty, in Vine- ville, was struck by lightning yesterday evening, during the thunder-storm, but for tunately only tlie building and furniture were seriously injured. A communication signed “Many Tax Payers,” in the Macon Telegraph and Mes senger of the 27tb, asserts that if the ques tion of donating $125,000 to Mercer Uni versity to induce its removal to that place was submitted to the people, it would be defeated overwhelmingly. The Knights Templar parade and cele bration in Macon on Wednesday was a most brilliant affair. One hundred and fifteen knight3 were in tlie line, out of the 175 in the State. A magnificent banquet was given at Ayer’s Hall in the evening. Tbe colored axe companies of Macon and one from Griffin paraded on the same day. A communication in the Macon Journal of Friday, signed “Many Voters,” savs: “The City Council of Macon, before is- suing$125,000 bonds to Mercer University, or any other sectarian institute, should submit it to a popular vote on the question. The action of the very few tax-payers and voters indisposing of City Bonds may be laudable, but such is not thc wishes of many voters.” The Columbus Enquirer states that Cap tain John G. McKee, while hunting for fish-bait a few days since, spaded up a coin. It is black and rusty, and evidently been buried scores of years. At first it was thought to be silver, but a critical examin ation by Dr. Fogarty proves it to be a coun terfeit dollar of Charles VIII. of Spain, and to be composed of copper and zinc. It must have belonged to some Indian who formerly inhabited this section, showing how the poor Indians were swindled even years ago. The discovery of this coin brings to mind that many years ago nearly a bushel full of Spanish “ pistcrecns ” were dug np in the alley between tho “El Dorado” and Thompson’s stablo. They also turned out to be counterfeit. Tire Protestant Ecumenical. The Evangelical Alliance, under whose auspices it is proposed to hold in this city during the coming fall a sort of Ecumeni cal Council, in rivalry of, if not in opposi tion to, that of thc Vatican, is a voluntary organization, embracing members of va rious Protestant religious denominations. They came together ostensibly to effect certain objects held in common by all, at the foundation of which lies the promotion of what thc Alliance assumes to be evan gelical religion, in contra-distinction to Roman Catholicism, acknowledged irreli- gion, atheism, and infidelity. But indefi- ning-wbat constitutes evangelical religion the Alliance trenches on dangerous ground and discloses the weakness of its bond of union. The Alliance is based on wliat i3 sup posed to be the consensus of tlie various confessions of faith adopted by dillerent Protestant denominations mutually recog nizing each other as evangelical. This summary was originally adopted in Lon don in 1640. It embraces the following cardinal principles: I. The divine inspiration, authority, and sufficiency of thc Holy Scriptures. II. The right and duty ot private judg ment in tlie interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. III. The unity of the Godhead, and the Trinity of thc persons therein. IV. The utter depravity of human na ture conesquent upon the fall. V. The incarnation of the Son of God, His work of atonement for sinners of mankind, and His mediatorial interces sion and reign. VI. Tho justification of tho sinner by faith alone. VII. Tbe workoi the Holy Spirit in the conversion and sanctification of the sin ner. VIII. The immortality of thc soul, the resurrection of ;the body, the judgment of the world by onr Lord Jesus Christ, with the eternal blessedness of the right eous. and the eternal punishment of the wicked.

The Washington correspondent of tlie Baltimore Gazette, under date of May tlie 23d. says: Forney and Bullock, the infamous Gov ernor of Georgia, who has been found guilty of “ using improper means to in fluence the votes of Senators on the Geor gia question.” have formed an alliance, “offensive” (so far as honor and decency and morality are concerned) ■* and defen sive,” (so far as endeavors to patch up dis reputable characters are concerned.) for tlie purpose of waging war upon tlie Senate Judiaiary Committee, and sucli other members of Congress as may venture to express a candid and impartial opinion. Forney, a day or two ago, leveled three columns of dishwater and drivel at the beads of Messrs. Trumbull and Edmunds, and this morning tho hired columns of tlie Chronicle groan under a four-column manifesto from Bullock, the champion cor ruptionist. Mr. Ferry is the principal ob- . ect of the carpet-bag Governor’s attack, jecause be had seen fit to make a statement in his (dace in the Senate which every hon est and impartial man knows to be true. As to the paragraph in which Buliock re fers to t he evidence of this correspondent, it may be simply said that he has grossly misrepresented what the writer did state to the Judiciary Committee. Bullock’s charac ter is such, however, that liis misrepresen tations may be permitted to pass without attention. The Republican of this morning says of Bullock’s manifesto: “ This statement will hardly convince any one that the present State Government of Georgia ought to be made perpetual. To do this and to defeat tbe Bingham Amendment is evidently the main purpose oj thc letter.” Forney has words of praise for Buliock, of course—at so much a linel The Butlers anil Stewarts of Congress, in advocating thc personal interests of Bullock, thc carpet-bag Governor of Geor gia, have sometimes endeavored to make it appear that Bullock had no intention of perpetuating the Legislature of the State, and that the Bingham Amendment was therefore wholly unnecessary. Against their special pleadings there may be put the words of Bullock himself before thc Judiciary Committee of thc Senate on thc 2d of March, 1870: “All that I have said upon that subject is that when the organization ot the Legisla ture shall have been accepted by Congress, and the State shall have been admitted to representation, and thereby becomes State in the Union, that then tbe members of tlm Legislature will enter as members de jure upon the constitutional term for which they were elected.” This Is conclusive enough as to Bullock’s designs and intentions. Political. Julian, having been disappointed in not receiving the regular Radical nomination tor Congress, will run independently on the 16th Amendment issue. The Rev.

The coal-scuttle style of bonnets has gono wholly out of fashion among the young Quakeresses of Philadelphia, while the young Quakers have shaken the broad brim liat and taken to the stove-pipe.

In dressing for photographs it is useful to know that dark brown, dark green, ma roon and plain black goods, without gloss, will make a rich drab color. Silks of the sr.inecolcr will take considerably lighter. Snuff brown, dark leather, dark drab, scar let cherry, dark orange, crimson anil slatu will take a very rich drab color. Violet, blue, purple, pink and magenta will take very light, and should be avoided. The hair should never be very wet or glossy. It is said those who have made an ex amination of thc subject, that from two- aud-a-half lo three million of dollars can be saved to the South Irom manufacturing yarns and goods in that locality.
