We call attention this morning to the attractive advertisement of the attractive dry goods establishment ol Reese & Lane. These gentlemen have in store a very fine st.ick f new goods, and invite their many fronds to visit them. Recognizing the hardness of the times and the scarcity of fine apparel, the Senior class of the University of Ga., are making ar rangements, we understand, for graduating harefooted, nobly scorning all ornaments save a pair oflied-ticking gallowses. Brave boys, the girls have their eyes upon you ! The many friends of Rev. Geo. T. Goct- chius. Presbyterian Minister at Milledgc- villc, will be pained to learn, through a telegram received in this city last Saturday, of the death of bis wife. Mrs. Goetchius via- a daughter of Hon. Win. McKinley of Milledgevillo and a sister of Mrs. Howell Cobb of this city. The colored folks of the town had a grand fishing frolic yesterday. Albert l.e-ter “ done up and rigged out” with the indgnia of a Commanche Sachem and en sconced upon a caparisoned steed, pranced up and down the street, and was spoiling for the “ fry,” even as “the war horse rnsli- iii.-to the battle.” This rollicking Romeo vis Brand Chief Marshal of the excursion, ard was fully up to the dignities of the oc- a>ion. 1'k.i.soxai..—We had the felicity yester- Jiy iiinrning of sweeping away the goober hulls left in our sanctum by Herr Wilheiiner Schciitzonburger William, ecru jobber and genenil dry goods’ smasher from Gotham, lie has a bright countenance, sorrel scalp and is warmly recommended by Dr. Ed.

A sharp Pointed paling striking him, entered the low er part of his body several inches, and inflicted a very |KiinfuI and dangerous wound.

Lamer 1‘ic-Nic.—The annual pic-nic of Emmanuel church Sunday school came off at the fair grounds yesterday, and was a j"l!y affair. The little ones, the small fry you know, seemed to enjoy the occasion hugely, and the juvenile* of a greater devel opment whiled the sunny hours away in •lancing. The dinner was excellently gotten ami the diversion ol hunting for Easter f-’- 5 wa » indulged in after the repast. Maj. bmi. Barke.

The classes were en catechised in order, and the lessons and J?) Plaining to the Resurrection, together the explanation of Hades and Paradise were dwelt upon by Mr. Hallara in a few appropriate remarks. The occasion was f r . v mteresting and was greatly enjoyed by ■v large assemblage filling the church. Am:it tiie Tiheyes.—Saturday night o rs- lb F. Culp, Rose. Jno. and Joseph ur >li, .Too.

From this, a light, purplish tint, delicately Bpnn out in its goss.mcr net work, commenced to trace its ethereal folds o’er the gorgeous scene bounded in a. beautiful vista by a magnificent rainbow high up in the heavens. This atmospher ical phenomenon was seen about 6:40 p. m. Dr. J. B. Carlton’s office which has been thoroughly remodeled, is now almost finish ed, and will be very hnndsome and complete. The first apartment upon the lower floor will he a reception room for patients, irav mediately in the rear an examinating and operating room, just above the second floor, a labratory will be established. Hamiltonian. A brother editor, attending the marraige of Clarence Stephens, Esq., to Miss Mamie .Hamilton, at "Hamilton Manor,” in Me* Duflie county, comments somewhat as foll ows : By this marriage were united the representatives of two of the first families of Georgia. The bride is lineally descended from Gen. Thomas Hamilton who was for awhile a wealthy and successful planter of Columbia county and afterwards an influen tial citizen of Athens. His descendants along with his brother, James Hamilton, likewise a prominent citizen of Athens, have ever stood in the first rank in the com munity of their residence. The very name «f Hamilton is a synonym of respectability and worth Mr. Clarence Stephens is a nephew of Hon. A. H. Stephens aud a son of Col. John L. Stephens, deceased, a promi nent lawyer, before the war, at LaGrange Ga. “Just Did Miss It.” Last Wednesday afternoon, a* per announ cement, the Athens Guards, commanded by Capt Talmadge, 30 men rank and file, pro ceeded from the monument to the Newton House, where qcite an assemblage of ladies and gentleman in the piazzas and windows of the surrounding houses was gathered to witness the drill for the red plume. Lt. Col. L. H. Charbonnier, Capt. \V. H. Flem ing, of the University battalion, and Lt’s. Bryaut, Thomas and Griffith of the Guards, acted as judges of the drill, and succeeded by their united efforts in bringing it to a rapid and graceful termination. After the first round of commands, by Capt. Talmadge, the following gentlemen were gracefully re tired ; Messrs. Davis, Allen, Moss, Fliscb, Long, Griffeth, Christy, Jackson, Wither spoon, Gardner and Tilley. The second volley was sharp quick and decisive in re sults, and laid tenderly away some of the pride and chivalry of the company, among whom Messrs. Hodgson, Kirtpatrick, Vin cent and Stovall. Messrs Scudder and Moore next bit the dust, leaving Sergeant’s Potter, Vonderleith, Hull and Sparks as the perorating quartette. These gents did well and fully sustained their martial reputa tion, tailing however, in the order above written down, the red plume was awarded to Sg’l Sparks, who has worn it since the aunual drill last year. Judge Thomas pre sented the plume in a speech xvhich was ex temporaneous and brief but which answered the purpose very nicely. It is due the Judge to state just here, that the remarks which he had neatly written off, were fa-ten- ened up in Sg’t Hull’s cartridge box, and that the Judge very naturally prefered to go stump,’’ rather than take the risk of commencing his prepared oration and being compelled to skirmish around to Sg’t Hull in the rear rank, for reference. We are confident, that the spirit of these remarks will be understood, and that the situation will at onto lie taken in by those who ex pected a finished harangue from the learned Judge. Fine Arts.—A large and valuable col lection of Steel Engravings, Chromos and Water Colors is on exhibition in the corner store in Lester’s Block, to lie sold at Auction, commencing Tuesday night Aoril 18th.

Auctioneer. since Smith is ont of the field, Colquitt will have a “ walk over.” In fact, be is the only candidate apoken cfat all, in many sections; the only two papers that were kindly disposed towards Smith, which hare spoken, are the Columbus Time*, the Camilla En- terprire and the Sumpter Republican. The Time* says, in substance, “Without any consultation with the friends of Governor Smith, we frankly say, that we are veiy favorably disposed to Gen A. H. Colquitt.” The Camilla Enterprise says: “Since his Excellency has seen fit to withdraw, we shall cheerfully give whatever of influence we may possess to that honorable Christian gentleman, Alfred H. Colquitt, and in token of it, we place his name at our mast head and give three cheers for Colquitt.” The Sumpter Republican says: “lu our opinion, Gov. Smith could nave received tho nomination, had be allowed his name to go before the Convention. Now, that Gov. Smith is no longer a candidate, let us rally to that generous-hearted soldier, true patriot and Christian gentleman, Gen. Alfred H. Colquitt. He is our choice, and we believe, the choice of the people of Southwest Georgia.’’ GENERAL NEWS. Win.

Colquitt’s Cbm ires Discussed. Atlanta, Ga., April 14, 1876. Though the week opened with sensations that hid fair to make this the “ news bonanza of the South” for at least two weeks to come, the “Gate City” has quieted down until it “ as dull ns a country stage when the actors are off” West, Edwards A Briscoe, have all given bond to answer the charges found liy the .Grand Jury of tills county, and are at lib erty. Tallman, the New York detective that came so near kidnapping West under a requisition from New York, has retuined, fully convinced that he has been euchred out of his prisoner. FOSTER BLODGETT, Though under indictments for Forgery, Larceny after Trust, Embezzlement, and Cheating and Swindling, has succeeded in getting his bond reduced from 817,000 to ! 15,000 and is out on bail, John L. Conley and Wallace Rhodes being his bondsmen; aud has promised his old associates and employers to keep his mouth shut for the present. This spoils tho biggest sensation that has been in onr grasp since the day of Bullock’s hegira about the new capital. Atlanta, since the failure of the last Con stitutional Convention movement, is pre paring in earnest for tho building of a new Capital. It will be remembered that the city donated tho lot now used for a City Hail and Court-house to the State and the State has accepted it. It will become neces sary when the State concludes to build a new Capital, for the city and county to procure a new building for their official and judicial purposes. It u promised that Atlanta will bay the present Capital aud use it for t hose purposes. The city already has 8180,000 interest in the building It is probable that the next Legislature will make provision for the building of a new Capitol TOE GUBERNATORIAL OUTLOOK. The publication of Smith’s card withdraw ing from the race, threw politics into such GEORGIA. FROM MOUNTAIN TO SEABOARD. Foster Blodgett, while cavorting through his native State, was arrested in Augusta last week and carried to Atlanta. His Con ley pardon was decided to be illegal but he was released on bail. He came to Georgia to lie arrested it is affirmed, and will, perhaps, a tail unfold which will harrow many a noble soul and freeze the blue blood of some of Georgia’s autocrats. A prize fight in Savannnli resulted in the death of one of the disputants. Augusta is grappling with a new factory, as a last hope. Daniel Ilabney, Esq., of Cobb county, is dead. The Rome Commercial has fallen into the voluptuous arms of the Courier. The rumor that Prof. Gober, of Marietta, is engaged, has turned out false. The Prof, is only keeping a sharp look out, that’s all. Cobb county has a gold mine. The Georgia press is sustaining Bayard. Rockdale county is developing her Sunday day school interest. Jno. H. James will probably be on hand at the celebration to hear the children sing, you know. Lott Warren, Esq., is memorial orator in Americus. Lott will make an excellent improratu address. Cowotta negroes still move to Mississippi. A photographer is sketching around Waynesboro. Burke county is writhing under the dis cussion as to the number of eggs a healthy hen can set upon. If the hen should show no disposition to spread herself, we would recommend that a keg be filled with eggs and the hen placed upon the bung-hole. How ever, we have no time to brood over this question. Cartersville men shoot marbles. Willing ham can beat any ninn in Bartow county in playing “ knucks.” Moody will visit Savannah soon. The villiage is alreadv too Sank(ev)tified to need his associate. \Ve hope good work will lie wrought during the meeting of the press convention. Cornelius Willingham wants to know what as ecru l ire. Ecru means unwashed. We refer Cornelius to his shirt collar for further explanation ot the term. Bartow county has struck copper ore. Elbert county don’t seem to be a healthy pla -e for grauges. 400 tons of fertilizers sold in Elbert coun ty this year, and still they aren’t happy, If all of our country exchanges abounded in as much local iiews as the Elberlon Gazette we wouldn’t mind building op our column, "From Mountain to Seaboard." Mrs. Selina ,\. Few, relict of the late Rev. Ignatius A. Few, the first President of Emory Colbge, died in Decatur last Friday, aged over 82 years. Mr. Alexander J. Lawton, father of Gen. A. R. Lawton, died in Savannah on Satur day morning last. Col. Randall has an awful attack ot spring fever. Friday’s Constitutionalist has exactly twenty-three lines of editorial, or Jth column. Whittle and Bliss, the great revivalists, are kicking up quite a spiritual dust in Au gusts. Shoe manufacturing is now extensively carried on in Carnesville. Hon. Wm. F. Bowers, of Bnwersville, says the Gazette, is n goaheadative man. Like the man taking (hie) one more look (hie) at the “ wolf,” Elhert county is going in for a little more cotton. As a general rule, we would advise the Griffin New* to begin a man’s name with a capital letter. However, we shall not try to make a capital of the “bantam’s” mis takes. We are now desperately prizing that scantling from onr eye, and so soon as it is accomplished, won’t we dash into Oglesby little motes with a vengeance? There is a certain fascination about smote houses and corn cribs which a Randolph county thief can’t resist. Epizooty is raging in Gainesville. LaGrange is prospering under the crown ing glories of a candy manufactory. Waterman, of the LaGrange Reporter, thinks that “the desire tu run for offiee is the worst enemy that a talented young lawyer has.” Disguised men are on the war path, Gwinnett couoty.
