It will be recollected that it was Mr. llarwald’s exertions that tho Sunday mail was procured for this place. Mr. Ivtor Croghan is now mail clerk. Disgraceful. —We notice that Street Contractor Logan has had two young white women .working on the street. This is positively disgraceful, and a decent respect for humanity should forbid it No matter how low their character; they are still women, and a true gentleman’s let-lings would revolt at the idea of put ting a woman at public labor. We sin cerely hope such a disgraceful experi ment will not be repeated.

Ike procediugs of the railroad meeting this place on tho 1st instant, will colnmns this morning. • found i A Trap tq Dawson.—Tho Superior Coart of Terrell connty being in session the present week, we availed ourself the privilege of a short visit to tho beautiful town of Dawson, the county-site. Among the members of tho bar in at tendance, with whom we had the pleasure of meeting, were S. D. Irvin, of Macon; Jndge D. A. Vason, Gen. Wright, Mor gan and Hobbs, of Albany; F. A. West of Starkville; G. W. Warwick, of Smithville, Judge Clark, Hood, Fielder and Dong- lass, of Cuthbert, and Col. W. A. Haw kins, of Americas. There were no criminal cases on the docket, and bat one hundred and thirty- eight civil cases, fifty of which had been disposed of up to Thursday morning. It is generally believed by the Attorneys that the docket will be entirely cleared at the present term of the court. Jnuge Harrell seems to give general satisfaction as a presiding officer. The business of the court move* on very systematically, there being no delay whatever, when a case Is called. Quiet reigns in the court room daring its entire sittings. Dawson has improved wonderfully since our last visit, five years aj were astonished to see the number of business houses that have been erected there during that time. We met with bnt few old acquaintances however, the late war, death and removal, having made quite a change in the appearance of things all around. There is more enterprise and business about Dawson than any little town wo know of. Its growth within tho past six years is truly astonishing. A few years ago, it was comparatively no place at all, bnt now it can boast of some forty or fifty good business houses, two good schools, chnrclies, a printing office, factory that gives employment to some two hundred bauds, and a popu lation of two thousand. The ladies handsome, intelligent and refined, and the gentlemen industrious enters prising, and polite. There is one thing however that Daw- n stands greatly in need of, and that is, good hotel The gentleman who has charge of the house at that place, certain ly understands mote about, raising corn and hogs, than he does of keeping a hotel. We would advise him to abandon the project of entertaining the public, and follow a pursuit more congenial to his taste. We coversed with a number of farmers reference to their growing crops, and Whs invariably told that notwithstanding the drought, the crops were not suffer ing, but looking remarkably well. Co pious showers of rain fell throughout the county on Wednesday, which was grate fully received by the farmers. On Wednesday evening we attended a concert given by the Dawson Brass Band, assisted by a numl*er of yonng ladies of the place. The exercises throughout re flected much credit on tho entire pany, especially did the ladies perform their part admirably. We were pleased to learn from onr friend Weston that the Journal is on the high road of prosperity. Success to it We were sorry however to see him look ing so old. An Editor’s cares sefcin to weigh heavily upon him judging from his personal appearance. There is room for improvement, and we would suggest to him to occasionally visit Amcricusand place himself under the shainpooning process of Riley Covington our barber, who will make such a change in his per sonal appearance that his friends in Davf- son will not know him when he returns. Mr. W. F. Combs, the gentlemanly foreman of the effice, and a good printer, has become associate Editor of tho paper. Combs is rather a fine looking fellow, bnt Weston, oh git out. Altogether our visit to Dawson was a very agreeable and pleasant one. The Reason Why.—Wo hear mer chants complain that business is dull. It is not expected to lie otherwise, if mer chants don’t advertise. If yon have goods to sell yon must let the public know it. If you can sell calico cheaper than New York, Savannah or Macon merchants, or any other Americas merchant, you must give publicity to the fact. You cannot complain of the dull ness of your trade till you inform the public what stock you have and what bargains you offer. The people read the Republican and a ten dollar advertise- , ment in this paper is worth a hundred dollar greenback to any merchant, drug gist, lawyer, or any other man in the city of Americas.'

Meeting of the Board of Health Avxucdb, May 26,1870. Tho Board of Health met this after- Present—Dr. J. B. Hinkle, chairman; Drs. G. T. Wilburn, W. D. Cooper, and C. W. Hancock. On motion of Dr. Cooper, C. W. Han cock was chosen permanent Secretary. The Board divided the city into eight wards, as follows, and assigned a member to each ward, whose duty it shall be to visit each house and minutely inspect the premises, and faithfully report all causes productive of sickness. The following is the manner in which the city is divided, and the name of the member assigned to each ward: 1st ward—c. w. Hancock: All that port of the city included be tween College street, running south from the Square, and Lamar street, running west. 9 2d ward—w. d. cooper: Between College and Lee streets, run ning south. Od ward—j. u. hixkle: Between Leo street running south and Lamar street rnnning east. 4th ward—J.

WILBURN: Between Lee and College streets, run ning north. 7th WABX>— WILBURN & STALLINGS. Between College street running north id Troupe street running west. 8th ward—jesse stallIN'GS: Between Troupe and Lamar, running est. The Board notifies all persons in the city to liave their entire premises tho roughly cleansed by the first day of Jane, after which time the Board , will make their inspection, and report all causes of sickness to the Council, who will have the same removed at the expense of the owners and tenants of the "property. The Board will esteem it a favor if our citizens will report all cases of dead car casses, and everything else calculated to create sickness that may come under their observation, to any member of the Board, that it may lie removed without delay. On motion, the Board adjourned till next regular meeting, 5} o’clock, Thurs day afternoon. J. B. Hinkle, C. W. Hancock, Sec. Chum. ANDERSONYIIXE. Bulloclx Bearded by PliiL Cook.

Bald- From an “intelligent contraband" i learn that the Andersonville frolic wm„ ... , huge farce, and we are sore that if 'the Ho “* Bell, CapL C. W. buried dead could speak, their voices would unite in aa indignant protest against such a sacrilegious desecration. They enlisted in the service of their country, and the cruel hand of war, hich fell with equal fatality upon the wearers of the blue and the gray, has left them beneath the sod at Andersonville. That their misfortunes should be seized upon by such unprincipled ruffians as Bullock and his co-workers in iniquity, and that their peaceful graves should be desecrated by their vile language still viler presence, is a disgrace to Chris tianity and tho Government. But to return to our subject. About seven hundred negroes were in attend ance, and not over half a dozen respecta ble white persons, who were present from curiosity. A special train from Atlanta brought His Expressellency, Bullock; Gen. Krysanowski, the hireling tool of his Military Dictatorship, Terry, (who, by tho way, is said to be an eminent l(aw)yer); parson Collier, of Washington,! and about seven or eight women, among; whom were Her Expressellency and Her Military Bnreauship, the wife of tho late Georgia Bnreau agent, Lewis. At the depot, the fatted Bullock mounted a wagon, and began a philippic against the Confederacy, the people, and against everything he could think. of. Referring to the treatment of prisoners at Andersonville, he said that six prisoners were one day taken out of the stockade, tied hand and foot, ate alive by savage dogs, and that there were two ‘soldiers present with Krysanowski, who were eye witnesses to the deed, and could tes tify to it. The gallant General Phil. Cook, of Oglethorpe, who stood the tirade as long as he could, at this juncture mounted a wagon of his own, and declared the state ment false, and challenged the proof. This had tho effect of scattering the dar kies in every direction, and proved that the General is still as effective in dis- i persing them as in days of yore. Bullock then called upon all the dar kies who belonged to his c7< wreft to come up and shake bauds with him, which had the effect of bringing back a few of his hearers, though the more respectable groes held themselves aloof from the Felder, CoL W.

The shewers have been general throughout the country and the happiest results are following. We learn that five deaths occurred amongst the colored people of this place, last Saturday night and Snnday morning, of whom was the Rev. Nelson Beau champ, pastor of the colored Methodist Church. A great deal of sickness pervades that class of onr population at this time. SSL The ninth tensus of tho United States will lie taken under the provisions of the act of May 23d, 1850, on the first day of June (to-morrow). The Deputy U. S. Marshal for this [ clean thing.

Ward, the Ordinary of Bibb connty, was struck by lightning on the 25th instant, during the thunderstorm, and the building and furniture were se verely injured. Mrs. Ward had just left it, and was a foot or two inside tho next apartment, while a servant at tho oppo site door had her hand upon tho lock in the act of entering. Both were severely shocked with electricity. These facts we gather from the Telegraph k. Messenger. BgU Hymen & Bro. havo justly earned an enviable refutation for fair dealing, and an ability to please customers, which : cannot be obtained by others. They al ways keep on hand the best and most varied stock of dress goods, etc., to lie found in the city, and their terms of sale the most liberal. What Hymen & Bro. can’t do is useless for others to try. The deputies are jiaid as follows: Two cents for every name taken; ten cents for every farm; fifteen cents for every productive establishment of indus try; two cents for every dead person, and two per cent, of the gross amount of names enumerated for social statistics, and ten cents per mile for travel. It will be seen by the foregoing that the compensation allowed an assistant or enumerator, provided the district allotted to him shall not. contain less than 820,000 persons, will be about $600 or more. The law provides that each deputy, af ter qualifying, shall perform his duties by personal visit to each dwelling liouso and to each family in his subdivision,*and slrnll ascertain by inquiries mode by some member of each family, if any one can be found capable of giving the information, but if not, then the agent of such family, the name of each member thereof, the ago and place of birth of each, sex, color, etc., and slrnll also visit personally the farms, mills, shops, mines, or other places respecting which information is re quired; and when such information is ob tained and entered in hia blanks, then memoranda shall be read to the perao furnishing the facts for revision. There is a penalty for refusing to far- nish the required information to the net sistant. The act provides that every per son more than twenty years of age be longing to any family, in case of the ab sence of tho heads or other members oi the family, shall act as agent of such family, and is required to render a true statement of the information required,' pain of forfeiting thirty dollars, to lie sued for in an action of debt by the de puty, to the use of the United States. *SL It is absurd for a man who lias lo * el110 settle himself and stock . 1 ^ 0Use ftQ d then wait for customers .’I ro P Iu at their leisure to buy, without ^ '. ert,s * n S- Bucli ]ieople are not ener- Hi0I, gh to keep a new stock on hand, . j' ar, ‘ a ' W; \ Vs complaining of dnll times. s ^°*cr.v a Shaw will verify this as* ir on ’ for they are continually reociv- ^ o new articles of merchandise, and as .1 1T fn . er “ la aro immediately made v j, °* h J their advertisements they ^ °w keep articles longer than ten days. ye who have charge ty ° ^ting department at home, when- ku/ 0U ^ raDt something nice for your J ri( „,r;V t0rd ° ar yooflg ■iv» V ° m “"1H he has it not, f, “ litu » time and ho will eertain- fio Blnll' | Tly 0nCe - y** 1 *111 ho niter tST Considering the Buffering which may arise from the intense heat of the summer and in order to alleviato it and keep our people cool and pleasant, Mr._E.

We feel satisfied that the adjournment of Court will be bailed with delight by our planting friends. Americus is fortunate in the woll known cliaracter and high reputation of her business men. Chief among the number is Mr. John V. Price, who, per haps* has done most toward the advance ment of the city and county than any other single business man iu the city. He is now endeavoring to introdneoto agricultural friends the latest im provements iu f:irm:ug implements, and we hope that ho may metet with the his energy deserves. He is also pay ing advances on cotton. We feel a pleas ure in bearing testimony to tho ability and enterprizo of onr esteemed fellow- citizen. - *3.

Editor : I notice an erroneous statement in rcfereipe to the recent Deco ration at Andersoiville last Monday, from an editorial pfi in Tuesday’s issue of the Telegraph ibMessenger, saying in these words that “ nations were deliver ed by an Ohio preicher and cx-Confeder- ato Mayor (for ibjor) R. JI. Wliitely, of Bainbridge. ” The remark was based up on wrong information, received doubtless from that tibiqritons and irrepressible “ reliable gentltman. ’’ For the truth of history and in har mony, we doubt not, with tho wishes of your rained exchange, I snbmit a brief synopsis of eome of the fact3 in regard to this extraordinary occasion, as detailed • me by an eye-witness. The ceremonies were simple and scarce ly imposing. There were present prob ably five hundred people, some seventy whites oi whom about thirty were females, and the rest their ebony brethren. A few wreathes and flowers were hung about on divers head-boards and scatter- various graves. Numbers oflit- tlp flags, in juvenile representation of the star-spangled banner, were planted thro’- ont what may be called tho inhabited portion of tho cemetery. , Within the cemetery about 11 o’clock Gov. Bullock inaugurated tho decoratiou by making some brief extemporaneous remarks, and was succeeded in n prepar ed oration by Rev. Mr. Collier, a Chap lain of the Grand Army of the Republic'. Gen. Lewis followed in a short speech. Major Whitely made no remarks what ever and participated in tho ceremonies only by his presence, having gone up from this place to Andersonvillo 12 o’clock train, after the adjournment of Sumter Superior Court by Judge Clark, in attendanco upon the session of which he was here as Solicitor General. The Confederate graves, of which there •e 113 in the cemetery, among some beautiful oaks in the -.o-itliwc-terr. comer and very neatly mounded an*! marked by the Federal authorities, were iu no wise honored or decorated.

Harris is tho inventor of several medical prcjuirations which havo bocome very popular, and havo been liberally used. Among his inventions aro Hall’s Balsam for tho longs and Liverwort and Tar. For the past six years a better lung remedy lias been offered to the public. Read tho following letter from Dr. Sco- rill referring to it: Messrs. J. N. Harris A Co.—Gents: I make tho following statement from a perfect convic tion of the benefits of Allen's Lung Balsam in curing the most deep seated pulmonary con sumption. I have witnessed its effects on the young and the old, and I can truly My that it is by far the best expectorant remedy with which I am acquainted. For conghs, and all the early stages of lung complaints, I believe it to be a certain core, and if every family would keep it it by them, ready to administer upon the first appearance of disease about tho lungs, there would be verr few cases of fatal consnmptiou. It causes the phlegm and matter to raise, without irritating the longs, and withont producing con stipation of the bowels. It also gives strength the system, stops the nights wests, and changes all the morbid secretions to a healthy (state. Yours respectfully, A. L. SCOVlLL. Sold by all druggist . myj-lm J. A.

The Census op toe City.—Wo would take occasion to urge upon the City Council the desirability of having a cor rect census of the city taken. Could not some arrangement be made with Mr. Hales, the Deputy Marshal, for that pur pose? As the county census will be taken by districts, we cannot rely on it for the desired information. Onr citizens are anxious that the city .census should be taken, and -we hope the City - Council will take the matter under advisement .

She has now on hand a choice selection of goods—superior in quality aud as reason able in price—as were ever offered to the ladies.
