The Monroe Advertiser enters upon its thirty-third volume on the Sth of January next. Major W. 11. Smyth will not leave Atlanta, when lie retires from the Marshalship, but will make it his per manent abode, •Savannah is furnishing fine shad for the people of Columbus. Two hundred were received on Christmas, much to the joy of the Columbians. A colored man named Deunis Wil liams, about forty years of age, fell dead as he was rising from his bed in Augusta Thursday morning. Four hotels and forty-one boarding houses, according to the Atlanta Constitution, furnish hash to the per manent and transient boarders in the “Gate City.” Randolph county has formed a medical society with Dr L MeLeater President; Dr W B Tackett Vico President; Dr W T Rogers Secretary, and Dr R E Toombs Treasurer. Reports are favorable pretty gen erally from all sections of the State relative to farming operations during the past year. Farmers too aro in a better condition pecuniarily than they were last season. The Atlanta Constitution, in its po litical notes, says: “Hon A II Steph ens will contribute to the next At lantic Monthly on the electoral com mission. The advent is very anx iously looked for by the politicians.” The grand jury of Muscogee county* as an offering, made up a purse and gave it to the Columbus Orphan Asy lum. This is an item that does one’s heart good to give to the reading public during Christmas holidays. Forsyth has gone back to the times of the fathers and had a regular old fashioned gander-pulling on the streets on Christmas day. Every body was invited to come up and “try their hands on the slippery throttle of the suspended goose.” The Riverside Echo is the name of anew and neatly printed paper is sued at West Point, and edited and published by Miss Louisa O.

Several Israelitish young ladies ana gentlemen of Columbus have organ ized a literary society called the “Progress Literary Association.” It numbers about twenty-five active members. The officers are; Emile Newman President, Max Wolfeon Vice President, and Isador® Zacharias Secretary and Treasurer. Some of the holders of the Port Royal bonds have commenced suit against the Georgia Railroad. The cases will first be tried in the county Court, and the trial for coupons will come before a Magistrate. No doubt tiie case will go to the higher courts in the end, as it is one of importance *>rwl has a vnnrl mnnir Imn.G W. J. James, the unfortunate as pirant for legislative honors in Lib orty county, has decided to contest the election of Mr. Miller. The evi dence on the James side was taken last Monday and Tuesday, before E. A. Fulton, Notary Public and Justice of the Peace. The evidence on the other side will probably be taken in January. The dwelling house of Mr. W. H. Mercer, Tax Collector of Webster county, was entered on Tuesday night, the 18th inst., by unknown parties, and seventeen hundred dol lars in money belonging to the State and county, and a valuable gold watch belonging to Mr. Mercer, were stolen therefrom. All the jewelry, scrip and county orders were stolen. A few days since, while Mr. Thos. Versell, of Fayette county, was busy at his gin, a little child of four years that had been playing about the gin house, strayed near and was caught in the machinery, and before the father could go to its relief its hand and arm was lacerated in such a frightful manner as to render ampu tation necossary. A few nights since the gin house belonging to, and situated on the plantation of Mr, W W Dodwell, in the upper portion of Calhoun county, near the line of Terrell, was burned, together with the press and ten bales of cotton, five of which belonged to Mr. A W Turner. The fire occurred about twelve o’clock, and was under such headway when discovered that a near approach to tho building was utterly impossible. Tho Quitman factory in Brooks county, under tho management of Joseph Tilman, Esq., is doing a prosperous business. It is now run on full time and is said to make the best shirtings of any factory in the State. There is in stock in the “fac tory store” a large line of excellent goods, consisting in part of sheetings, shirtings, Osnahurgs, Kerseys, vari ous pants slutTs, yarns, threads and cotton rope—all of good quality and for sale at remarkably low prices. Liberty county is in a good condi tion financially. The entire tax this year is eight-tenths of one per cent. Last year it was one per cent. Num ber of polls (whites), 506; number of polls (colored), 745; total, 1,251. Amount of property returned, $761,- 210; of which tho colored people re turn $55,807; tho entire tax is $7,513.68; tax on professions, $l5O. Total, $7,663.68. The county is out of debt and there is a nest egg in the treasury. We join with the Hines villo Gazette , from which the above figures haye been obtained, in send ing a happy greeting to old Liberty. The specific tax ordinance adopted by the City Council of Augusta makes several changes, the most important of which is the tax on every buyer or seller of cotton on commission, or dealer in cotton. Formerly the tax was uniform —one hundred dollars. The present ordinance makes the tax twenty-five dollars on every buyer or seder of under two thousand ’bales; fifty dollars over two thousand and under four thousand; seventy five dollars over four thousand and under six thousand bales, and one hundred dollars over six thousand bales. StylesT. A. Hutchins, a negro from South Carolina, who, it will be re membered, made application to the Supreme Court of Georgia to practice law in this State, had his examina-. tion in the Supreme Court of Fulton county. The majority of the com mittee roported favorably as to his examination, but the minority reported adversely. As the law makes admission of at torneys a matter in tho wise discretion of the caurt, the admission of Hutchins is held for the advise ment of Judge Hillyer. The com mittee was composed of Judge John L. Hopkins, late Judge of the Su preme Court, Solictor-General Benja min Hill, Jr., Col. T. P. Westmor land and Col. James Banks. A perfect furor on the matrimonial question seems to have broken out In Bibb county oa the approach of holidays. For week ending 22d, the Ordinary issued twenty-three mar riage license*, fourteen to white and nine to colored couples. The Macon Telegraph alluding to this extraordi nary matrimonial furor, says: “Nev er before in the memory of the oldest inhabitant has the matrimonial fever been higher in our midst than it has been for the last few days. It has extended into all circles of our socie ty, and the nuptials which have been celebrated aie a prolific theiue for the lips of all. Not only have la dies and men of gentle birth twined for themselves garlands of orange blossom*, but the lower classes, with out reference to previous condition, have been joined for life. Some of the citizens of Atlanta on Wednesday evening met at the Li brary Hail and presented Captain James W. English, Chairman of the Atlanta Campaign Committee in the late contest as to the location of the capital, with a handsome token of their appreciation of his labors in the cause of Atlanta. The souvenir pre sented was a massive silver salver from the house of G. H. Miller A Cos., of that city, and one of the hand somest pieces of ware ever brought by them to Atlanta. The design upon the centre was Wisdom (or Minerva) driving the Chariot of Pro gress. Ahead of her, in all her pano plied state, flew winged Mercury, crying “Onward.” In the rear came attendant cherubs, one of whom boro a scroll upon wlich was written “43,946” as tho official returns. The owl flew forward over the fiery steeds. Tho design was a beautiful one, and fully illustrated the subject to be commemorated. Underneath tho chariot was engraved : “Atlanta’s progress!” “December sth, 1877: For the capital, Atlanta. Official majority, 43,940!” “Presented by his’ friends to Captain James W. English, Chairman Atlanta Cam paign Committee.” CRETAN WOMEN. [Cretan Correspondence of London Times.] A Cretan village is a strange look ing place. All the dwellings are alike in ugliness, oblong in form, with walls of rough stone, and flat roofs, destitute of parapets and chim neys. One or two arches are thrown across the length of the cottages to support tho roofs, which consists of tenacious clay a few inches deep, laid on pieces of bark and rolled flat—lot antiquaries shudder—with the drums of marble columns. In Askypho the heavy snow storms which occur there make it unsafe to carry up tho build ings higher than one story, and they certainly ha vea most miserable exte rior. But the comfort within doors de pends at Askypo, as everywhere else, not on the architect, but on the lady of the house, and the wives of Sphakia ran.k high among their sex. They are conspicuous for their beauty. Their dark eyes are large and lustrous, their features are deli cately chiseled, and waving tresses fall in profusion from beneath their modest kerchiefs. Their carriage is graceful as tho doe’s. But, though possessed of uncom mon personal charms, their atten tion is by no means confined to the toilet. Everything which their homes contain is the work of their band’s jacket and fez of the wool of the sheep he tends is dyed, spun and woven by the hands of his faithful wife. She it is who makes his gar ments from the cotton plant which grows before the door; the bright scarf that binds his waist is from the silkworm which feeds upon his mul berry trees; the mats and tapestries whose bright designs, taken from the patteen book of tradition alone, give his home a cheerful air, are the work of her industrious loom, and many more objects that I am incompetent to ennmerato are due to her untiring labors. It was these same Sphakian women who only ten years ago were, with their helpless children, hunted from mountain to mountain, outraged and murdered. In the cottage of my guide, though the owner was by no means a chief among the people, the tablecloth, tho napkins, the sheet?, all of them home-made, were bor dered with Cretan lace; the pillow case was a single piece of the same rich material; the counterpane was so gorgeous with many colors that I did not refrain from expressing my admiration of it. “Yes,” said my host; “my wifo is of a very good family, and knows the old-fashioned ways of weaving, which her mother taught her.” The cottage itself consisted of a modern-sized room, with a gallery for sleeping in, and two very small ones, of which the larger was tho kitchen. Tho walls were not even whitewashed, and the floor was of mud, yet the spirit that reigned there reconciled one to all. 1 dined with great zest off English plates, which are prized as much there as Japanese crockery is in England, but without wine, not a drop of which was to be found in any of the seven villages—a significant fact. The wife waited on us, for conjugal respect is strictly enforced, while even suspect ed infidelity is punished with death. It is easy to believe how such a peo ple hate and despise anyone, be he calmakam or be he “milordi,” who attempts to introduce the vices of Western Europe into their mountain retreats. COMPARATIVE VALUE OF WOODS, It is a great convenience to know the comparative value of different kinds of wood for fuel. Shellbark hickory is regarded as the highest standard of our forest trees, and call ing that 100, other trees will compare with it for real value as fuel for house purposes as follows: Shell bark hick ory, 100; pignut hickory, 95; white oak, 84; whit* ash, 77; (logwood, 75; scrub oak, 75; white haael, 72; apple tree, 70; red oak, 67; white beech, 65; black birch, 62; yellow oak, 60; hard maple, 69; white elm, 58; red cedar, 58; wild cherry, 55; yellow pine, 54; chestnut 52, yellow poplar, 51; butternut and white birch, 43; white pine, 30: It is worth bearing in mind that in the woods of the same species there is a great differ ence, according to the soil on which they grow. A tree that grows on a wet, low, rich ground will be less solid and less durable for fuel, and therefore of a leas value than a tree of the same kind that grows on a dry and poorsoll. To the ordinary pur chaser oak is oak and pine is pine, but for home use the tree grown on dry upland and standing apart from others is worth a great deal more. Daniel Sturgeon, of Pennsylvania one of the three surviving Senators who served with Henry Clay, Ben ton, Webster and Wright, spoke so little that he gained the soubriquet of “the Silent Senator,” relates the following incident of Clay and Cal houn : On one occasion .Calhoun made a speech in which he was very severe upon Clay. When he had finished, the latter went to get a pinch of snuff from Calhoun, and having taken it, said, “Your argus ment was not so strong as voursnuff.” And thus it was generally in those days; the asperities of debate were soon forgotten, and the bitterest po litical adversaries took snuff togeth er after tho heat of debate had sub sided. mGS" ROME, GA. a 3Stt TO SELLERS OF COTTON AND PRODUCE.
