Tub Northeast railroad, now being constructed from Atheus to a point on tbe Air-Line railroad, called Belle View or Poplar Springs, is thirty eight miles from Atheus.

Wb learn, says the Athens Watchman, that General Young writes there is every probability that the hill which gives an additional endowment of six hundred and fifty-five thousand dollars to each Agricultural und Mechanical College in the United States, will pass the House of Represent atives and become a law. t* The LaOrauge Reporter complains of a scarcity of labor in that section. It says that a lawyer of that city recently sent a constable with warrants alter two negroes. The employer took the con stable out one side, and told him he could not re place the negroes if they left, and he would not allow them to be arrested. The constable bowed to the force of circumstances, and left. The Supreme Court has decided that the lieu given by the Act of 1865 to merchants and factors upon growing cropi lor provisions and commer cial manures furnished, does not extend to a case where a lien is claimed for money advanced, with which the planter is to purchase provisions and commercial supplies ; and a note given for mon ey, which upon its face recites that the money la to be used to purchase provisions, does not create a debt securable by the lien provided for by said act. ♦ . Tnß “local” of the Telegraph and Messenger gets of! a good one by saying: An intelligent stranger, who knows notliiug of tbe natural re sources of Georgia, if stnuding where be could see the immense avalanche of bread and meat rolling along tbe Btate road, would very probably arrive at one of two conclusions: that there had been a terrible famine In Georgia, or that the lands of this State are too poor to grow corn and wheat. White neither la necessarily true, both are practi cally so. Thk bill providing for * public building at At lanta provide* tbt It (ball bo bnilt of brisk. Mr. Mallott, the eupervUing architect of the Treasury Department, expressed hhnsslf greatly surprised at this. He say* a first class stone can be had in the vicinity of Atlanta, while the brick will be shipped from the North, and he i* rather disposed ta think there is a Job in this brick business. JI DGK Hall.—The GriflialNewe, which express ed very decided disapproval of the appointment of this gentleman as Judge of the Flint Circuit, has this to say of him now: Judge Hall has made a very favorable impres sion here during the week, as a presiding officer. HU discipline is mild, but firm, and he enforces the rule* of the conrt rigidly; has the best of order preserved, bis charges are brief but clear, and the result is, business Is dispatched rapidly. If he should continue as he has commenced his Judicial career, the people will be satisfied. .< The Star says.

The resignation has not yet been withdrawn, but haa been verbally modified at the request of the President, to aa to take effect without coudition on the 4th of Mareh next. Tub railroad lines are trying to run anew and heavy schedule. From the Coustilutionalist we learn that the Superintendent of the Nash ville and Chattanooga railroad, the Other day, telegraphed to the Superintendent of the Geor gia railroad, Augusta, stating that there were one thousand loaded car* in Chattanooga, and In quiring whether they coaid bs sent through to Augusta without the trouble and delay attendant upon railroading at Atlanta. A reply in the affirmative was telegraphed back, and the cars will therefore come through from Chattanooga to Augusta. The Griffin News says : From a gentleman from the low country, we learn that Houston county, in some places, is almost depopulated in the way of laborers. He tells ns of oue plantation that a short while since was well stocked with hands, which now has not one on it, and the owner is left with fifty mules and hundreds of broad acres to look after. He further informs us that there are large numbers of uegroes in camp near Macon waiting an opportunity to get into the interior or go West. Thousands of negroes have gone into Florida or elsewhere, and Southwest Georgia is feeling it. This state of affairs can be traced di rectly to the influence of these immigration agents who lure them off by lair promises be fulfilled. They entice these laborers away from their employers tad they ought to b prosecuted The Next Stute Fair. Major ilufl settled the question of the location, acd turt morals, of the next S.ate Fair, very quickly. Of the manner of hia proceeding au Au gusts correspondent of the Herald has this to say: The Executive Committee determined to hold ihe next lair in Macon. The nature of two of the premiums offered gave rise to a very lively dis cussion. Mayor Hutf came to Augusta for the purpose of aiding the convention so lar as he could in any suggestions that might be serviceable to them in their present arraugements. He made the following proposition, which was ac cepted. In making it, he stated that he was em powered an authorised by his council to put it in that shape that if it was accepted as offered, he stood then and there ready to clofe the contract but if rejected or even modified it would be nec essary for bim to return to Macon and again con sult his council before making anew proposition. His proposal was as follows: Macon agrees to pay the entire premium list if it should not exceed nine thousand dollars, to pay the society five thousand dollars to defray the expenses of officers, provided she is allowed to offer five thousand dollars in the following premium : For the best ten bales of upland cotton (1,000 For the best five bales of upland cotton 500 For tbe best six mule team 500 For tbe best two bales of sea island cotton.... 250 For the best ten acres ol oats 250 For the best ten acres of wheat 250 For the best ten acre* of corn 250 For tbe best trotting mule, heats best 3 in 5.. 500 For the best racing, three mile heats 500 The two last premiums, which clearly contem plate having a good race, were objected to, and thus arose tbe discussion. It was, however, de cided in favor of allowing the horses to go against each other and not against time, and here the matter is closed for the present at least. We are to have racing at Macon next fall, pure and simple; and If Huff gets Bassett and a few others ol like celebrity to come on, I predict the largest crowd ever assembled in Georgia, even if it is regarded as a little wicked to witness horses run or trot unless they go against “ old time.” Current Intelligence.

John C. Breckinridge has been invited to deliver the oration before the literary societies of that institution at the annual commencement in June next. We find the following dispatch in the New York World: Atlanta, Ga., February 14.—Ex-Governor Brown and James Gardner have written letters favoring Colonel Snead’s proposition to compro mise with the State of Georgia on the part of American oondhohlers, who propose to surrender 7,000,000 bonds if the State issue bonds to amount ol if 1,060,5000 which they will take at 90 cents ou the dollar. _ The Legislature is not prepared to give it serious consideration, as public opinion is considered to be thoroughly averse to a com promise. No amount ol outside pressure can in duce favorable consideration from the Legisla ture, as it is believed the issue of new bonds just authorized, amounting to #1,200,000, hearing 8 per cent., can be negotiated ou favorable terms. Judge Hall and General Barning are opposed to a compromise, but it is stated that other promi nent citizens favor it. The people do not see the necessity (or it. Yet ail usury laws have beeu re pealed, capital invested in cotton and woolen mills is exempt from taxation lor ten years, and iron furuaees and manufactuied iron are also ex empt for the same period. This has become the settled policy of the State, and companies being organized under the general public law exempting from taxation will stimulate manufactures in Georgia. The State offers every inducement to capital to seek an investment in developing the manufactures and the coal and iron interest of the State. The names “Judge Hall and General Barniug’’ must mean Mr. Hull and General Benning. A Rotal Visitor. —The Shah of Persia has no tified the Governments at St. Petersburg, Vienna, Berlin and Paris, that he expects to enter on his travels during the present year. Such an event being exceedingly uncommon, the Shah may count confidently upon being the lion of the sea son. He will travel jight royally. A small purse of some ten millions of dollars has been made up to defray bis expenses. He will come, then in gorgeous splendor, with a retinue glittering in barbaric gold and gems. His chief minister and secretaries, his mollahs, his cup bearers, pipe bearers and chamberlains, his dancing women and his singing women, his guards and his military household, will make a display that has not been seen in Europe (or ages. His acceptance of an in vitation to a ball will be the occasion of a scram ble for tickets that will throw the favorite operas of Patti Into the shade, and render the Sultan en vious. Once in the room he will be the observed of all observers, for the Jewels of Persia are said to ba the finest in the world, and the natioual dress one of the most picturesque and striking of Oriental costumes. Rbmarkablr Case.—A few days since, accord ing to the Easton Argus, Dr. Small was called to attend a young man ntfmed Clarence Abbott, who was ill at his residence. Dr. Small discovered unmistakable symptoms of lead .poisoning. It appears that Abbott was wounded in the thigh by a tuinnie bullet at the battle of the Wilderness In 13t>4, and that the bullet could not be found at the time. He has suffered somewhat ever since. Dr. Small and Gordon, on Saturday morning, ether ised the patient, and proceeded to make a surgical examination, which resulted in the discovery of the ball in the thigh. The bnllet was encased in ' a bony substance of about tbe size of a goose’s egg, the shell of which was one-fourth ot an inch thick. The bullet had been tumbling about in this cavity for eight years, and become worn and polished as smoothly as though it had been done on an eme,y wheel. Sufficient amount of the lead, however, had permeated the encasiug and entered the system to produce lead poisoning, which would have proved fatal In a short time but for the timely relief afforded. Mr. Abbott was doing nicely at last reports. How They Look.—Mrs. Ballou, lecturing on spiritualism in Columbus, answered several ques tions put her by her audience—among them the following, as reported by the Enquirer: “ You profess to have 6een spirits, what is their appearance, and do children always remain in the in lautlle condition f** '* Spirits appear generally in the form as when last seen on earth, and though bright and trans parent are easily recognizable. The infant grows in statnre as well as in the flesh, though not alto gether so rapidly. If it should wish to manifest itself to its mother, it would appear as she last saw it. In the matter cf teaching, they do not soon become sufficiently developed to instruct their superiors on earth." FORSYTH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 25. 1873. Washington Items. TUe House Ways and Means Committee have decided to report a bill retunding to persons in tbe South, whose property was sold for taxes, the amour* ot taxes, the amount received from such • ales, exclusive of cost of gale and taxes due. The amount involved is some (7,C00,C00, which is now in the Treasury. The measure is a just one and should meet the approval of Congress. On the 18th the Credit Mobilier Committee made a unanimous report. This completely ex onerates Mr. Blaine, the Speaker of the House of Representatives of anything wrong. With re gard to Schofield, Dawes, Bingham, Kelley and Garfield, the report says that while they held stock in the Credit Mobilier for a short time, the com mittee think3 that making the investment with the knowledge of the heavy profits was a suspicious circumstance, but they attach no corrupt motives to these men. The report aiso states that James Brooks, of New York, demanded and received one hundred and fifty shares of Credit Mobilier stock, corruptly knowing that the same was in tended to infuence him ns a legislator and a3 a director of the Pacific railroad. They report Oakes Ames of Massachusetts guilty of bribery and attempted bribery and the committee unani mously recommend the expulsion of both Brooks and Ames. The roport is to be considered to-day, and Ben. Butler is announced as a defender of both parties. Oakes Ames is defiant and threat ening. He says that there will be a perfect shower of memorandum books if the House dares to pass the resolution expelling him. Brooks, on the contrary, is very much dejected. A New York dispatch of the 17th, states that President Grant’s Southern tour will be of the greatest significance to the people of that section. The President contemplates starting on the 20th of March, and expects to be accompanied by nearly all his Cabinet, besides many distinguished gentlemen, Senators, members of Congress, and others. Richmond, Virginia, will be the first stopping place. It is tbe President’s purpose to make this the initial movement in his next admin istration, in the attempt to harmonize the people of the North and South. He will look into the condition of the South socially, and the local gov ernments of the States to be visited. At Rich mond, and other places along the line of his visit, preparations are being made to give him an en thusiastic reception. Anew point has been raised in Congress. In the discussion on the appropriation for a public building at Memphis in the House last week, the question being on the State ceding its jurisdiction over the property to the General Government, the fact was elicited that where a State cedes suchjur isdiction a place is left where the criminal laws of the State are not in force, where pick-pockets, etc., cannot be arrested by State, or city, or town authorities, and were even the marriage laws of a State do not operate. The bill for the public building at Atlanta provides for the ceding of such jurisdiction on the part of the Btate; but it is proposed to pass a general law establishing con current jurisdiction to meet this and other cases of like nature. Bow Corn foe Foddbu.—llay at two dollars per hundred pounds! Who can stand this ex pense t Let us get rid ot it for another How f Iu the absence of permanent meadow and for this year’s use by sowing corn for fodder fer horses aud cattle. Make a piece of ground very rich, either with barn-yard manure or commercial fertilizers. It will be of little use to attempt to sow corn for fodder on land in ordinary condition. It must be made very rich. Break It up deeply. Lay eff the ground in rows tlire feet apart. Sow the corn iu furrows at the rate of three bushels per acre. Cover with a furrow and roll. Keep the ground clean by one or more workings with the plow if necessary. Four tons of good dried fodder may be expected. On very rich land a good deal more than that amount. Allowing one ton to the horse for tbe working season, one acre should give fodder to five horses, or cattle. We advise this expedient for “ roughness ” by all means. With a good cutting knife, horses and cattle will eat the whole of the stalks, which should be cut down and cured as soon as they are iu tassel. Teu acres iu sowed corn ought to keep well fifty head of horses, mules and cattle during the win ter, allowing for the cost of manure. The expense Is a trifle compared with that of fodder, which is the least remunerative product of the farm. Those who have never seen corn sowing for fodder carried to perfection, and who live within reach of Atlanta, should visit Gov. J. E. Brown’s corn patch, within the limits of the city aud ad joining his residence. From a fragment of an acre he annually raises fodder enough to support a pair of horses and a cow, usually with a surplus left. The amount of fodder which he obtains from this littlespot is increditably great. We will not make an estimate for fear of seeming exagger ation.— Herald. Thb Forest divorae scandal, which occupied a large share of public attention a good many year ago, is likely to be revived in anew form. Mrs. Forrest, who is now residing at Btaten Island, has notified the executors that she intends to apply for dower in the estate, on the ground that she was never divoreed from her husband. The de cree, at the time it was rendered, was rather a singular one; but as it was obtained in a New York court, no great surprise was manifested at the peculiar position in which it left the parties. Mr. Forrest alterwards made an effort to get a divorce from his wife from the Legislature of Pennsylvania, but failed. We presume the ques tion of the marital relation existing between the parties from the date of the decree by the New York court, will be adjudicated by a Pennsylva nia court. Thb Dbby or New Orleans.— The Mayor of New Orleans says : “ Inbound numbers the debt of the city was about twenty-two and a quarter millions December 31, 1872. To be more exact, it was $22,245,978. The interest payable upon the bonded part of this debt, for the current year, will be $1,329,313. This amount does not include accruing Judgments and contingent liabilities. It must not be forgotten that the property of New Orleans is liable for about three fifths of the debt of the State, which greatly exceeds that of the city. An estimate furnished to me by Auditor Graham, in November last, put the funded, float ing and contingent debt of the State at about forty-two millions.” Lakb Michigan* Frozen Over —The Milwau kee Wisconsin of the 17th has the following: “The propeller City of Fremont left for Grand Haven, for the third time, last night, but was com pelled to return, after having penetrated the ice belt a distance ot only fourteen miles. During the high westerly wind's of last week the ice was never at spy time out of sight of land. At this point since then it has constantly been added to so that now it once more fills the bay. In view of all the facts that can be ascertained, we have no hesitancy in sayiDg that Lake Michigan, at this point, where its width is eighty-five miles, is now entirely bridged over with ice. varying in thick ness from one to twelve feet. Never before within the memory of the oldest living inhabitant has this been known to occur.” George H. Pendleton, ot Ohio, was presented to President Thiers by Minister Washburns on the 24th ult. Glass barrels are to be used for the transporta tion of petroleum, in order to save the heavy loos from evapoiation in ordinary packages. “In G-od we Trust.” Gone Home. Our hearts are sad and weary. They sre aching st oar loss, And we’ve bowed, and nearly fainting ’Neath the heavy, crushing cross. For we dreamed not that our dear one * Would so soon be called away • Till the silver cord was loosened) Broken from her life’s short day. Early have her footsteps faltered, Walking in tbe way of life; Early wearied, she is resting From the tumult of the strife. She ha 6 left a world of sorrow. Full of grief, and toil and pain, And onr loss, though deep and heartfelt, Infinitely is her gain. Now she dwells in realms of gladness In a glorious Heaven of love, ’ Walks among the shining angels In the golden streets above. While we still are moving onward, Bowed with sorrow, care and pain, From the land of rest and beauty, Would we call her back again f We, too,!soon shall hear the summons, Hear the angels whisper “ Come,” And we’ll pass the pearly portals Of our bright eternal home. There we’ll see our own loved one, Who has only “gone before;” There, within our Father’s mansion, We shall meet to part no more. Mbningitis—What a Post-Mortem Examina tion Disclosed.— Dr. J. G. Thomas, of Savannah, furnishes the News the following on the above subject: The communication of Dr. Knott, to which you call my attention, seems to dispute the idea of its being an inflammation. He says, addressing him self to physicians, that we “ must discard the idea of its being an inflammation,” and treat it accord ingly. I have only had the opportunity of mak ing an autopsy upon this one case, bat am free to say that there were abundant evidences of inflam mation in this case. I opened the brain and ex amined every particle of it iu tbe presence of sev eral of our physicians, and there was but one opin ion expressed, which was that it was a high grade ol inflammation ot certainly two ol the mem branes—the arachnoid and the pia maler, which are the two inner membranes lining the brain. These two membranes entend into the spinal col umn, which we also examined, and lound the sarno results of inflammatory action there. Now these are portions of the convolutions, or sulci, as they are called, where these membranes do not obtain, and in these we found no evidence of in flammation, showing that it is confined to these membranes, particularly to the arachnoid. As fur as ray observation goes, which has not been very large, it appears to be n wiuter disease, and more likely to prevail in cold, damp seasons of winter or early spring. I do not remember ever seeing a case in summer, and am very much inclined to the opinion that the large majority of the cases can be traced to exposure. In some places for years past, both in this country and Europe, it has exhibited a decided epidemic ten dency, and for this reason physicians have assigned to it a specific cause. It may have a specific cause (poison, for iustance, lurkiug iu the atmos phere), but if so, like the causes of many other diseases, we have never found it out. But, as re marked above, the only existing cause that I have been able to assign to it is exposure to cold aud dampness, and therefore great care should be ex ercised in this regard, and particularly to avoid cold, damp drafts of air wuile sleeping, aud after getting wet to change to dry clothes as soon as possible. As regards the treatment of this disease, my impressions are that most of the remedies that have been suggested, and the plans of treatment laid down “ sure cures” have thus far proved Very unsatisfactory. All the cases certainly can not be treated alike with any probability of suc cess. The physician must be governed by the circumstances of each case as he is called to them. What would do oue good, would kill another, and therefore no routine ot tiealment can be laid down, but the good judgement of the physician mt.6t guide him, and il hennas not good judgment, he has no business attep pting the management, of a case of cerebro-spinai Inen.ngitis. Victoria Woodhull is out with a heavy threat against Henry Ward Beecher, and says she will follow him through his Western tour, and speak wherever he does on the evening following his lecture. THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION. por 1873. A Democratic Newspaper, Daily and Weekly—The Favorite of all Classes—Lawyers, Merchants, Farmers, etc.—Twelve reasons for Subsrcibing. Th® Constitution is published at the Capital ot the St ate, and contains Proceedings of the Leg islature in full together with constant and accurate information of the acting i of all the Departments of the State Government. 2. It has the sole and exclusive right of publish mg the Decisions of the Supreme Court from the Reporter of the Conrt. These Decisions are de livered on Monday of every week and are immedi ately published in the Constitution. Hence every lawyer in Georgia should take the paper, and the greatproportion are subscribers. 3. The Constitution is the Official Journal of the Btate, of the city ef Atlanta and a large num ber of counties. 4. The Constitution publishes a weekly Cotton Editorial, embracing remarks on the Gold Premi um aud all matters effecting the cotton trade, with statistics difficult to be obtained elsewhere. Pro ducers and dealers lu cotton, not alone in Georgia but all over the conntry, procure the Constitution lor these articles. The Constitution furnisbee Telegraphic Dis patches and news from all quarters oi the globe, including markets, domestic and foreign. Hence a P£P® r * 8 P o P u l a r with merchants everywhere. 6. Besides our Daily Associated Press Dis patches, The Constitution has Specials from Wash ington, the National Capital. 7. Its Correspondence Department is nnsurpass ed ‘ n fhe South, having special correspondents at A ashington, New York, and in various parts ol the country. 8. Ihe Constitution publishes a monthly Fash ion Letter from New York, written by the most celebrated female writer in the United States. The ladies, therefore, all want the Constitution. * 9. Anew feature for this year will be Wee :*y European Correspondence, by which tne readers of the Constitution will betaken on a tour through Europe. 10. The ablest writers and statesmen of Georgia ■elect the Constitution to give their views to the public, and so do the people, and hence it is the admitted leading Democratic Journal of the State. 1L ffhe two great specialties, our Supreme Court Decisions (or the lawyers, and our cotton articles for the merchants and farmers, make the Constitution unrivaled in this part of the State. 13. For the reasons given above, the Constitu tion is the paper for all classes, lawyers, mer chants, farmers, mechanics and others, circulates in every county of Georgia, has the largest State circulation and is, therefore, the favorite medium for advertisers. Every Georgian should, after taking his own local paper, subscribe for the Constitution, pub lished at the Capital of his State; and we would here return thanks to the people lor a patronage that has culminated in the grandest newspaper success known in the Southern States. The Con stitution, not yet five years old, has attained a cir culation never reached by a Daily paper in Geor gi&y ADd has erected a magriificeot five story building of its own, as complete as any in the United States, giving employment to seventy or eighty persons daily, and running a half dozen presses by steam. Visitors to Atlanta are cordially invited to call and examine the Constitution building and its powerful presses, printing four or five thousand papers per hour. EDITORIAL CORPS; I. W.
