Howard hits found a large quantity of needle ere on his pnmires, and the Standard & Express says that that eeetion abounds in vest bids of irou metal. Ham, 11. W. J., of the Eastman Times, is mak ing suggestiens about keeping off snakes, etc. Three weeks ago Ham’s iinngiuation was per tectly free from such troubles. The Central Georgian tells about a man who commenced farming, since the war, with two horses, on four hundred acies ot land, and that he now runs 16 plows and ownes 17C0 acres. That’s not veiy remarkable. The wholsaie trade of Atlanta, for the first three months of the present year, 60 vastly exceeds that cf the srme period of last year as will astonish those who have not looked into the matter. So sajs the Atlanta Sun. - Harris, the man who sits on the point of the State item column of the Savannah News, has opened his safety-valve, from which flies squibs as piercing as needles. The chivalric Grady, of the Herald, should come to the rescue cf the Georgia editors. The Atlanta Sun intimates very strongly that the train frem Atlanta to Marietta, on the 80th, had bnt few, if any, white citizens aboard. That no citizens of Atlanta v.utto the decoration of the Federal soldiers' graves is another evidence of their respectability and worth. The tram from Covicgtou to Atlanta, a few days ago, took Hawkins, of the Enterprise, to the last named city, where he did uciintend to go. Hut few people in this section can go when they want to. j Utte ot two propositions is true: Tue traius are very accoiuinodatirg cu that road, or somebody was . Ham, of the Eastman Times, though a “ light under a bushel ” in a prominent Church, wliiutly forgets to state that he bribed au employee in the Cindy manufactory ot E. F. Block, cl Atlanta,and got him to make a complete prototype of “the gill he left behind him,” prying therefor the snug sum ot $7 witaout ar.y “ fixiugs.” •*. Tae Atlanta ssys tWe ate i-iformed that an infant ot fourteen months, a child of a conductor ou the State Hoad, is a spiritual medium, and ac tually wiitea sentences plainly aud correctly on a sla e or pa; er. The report reaches this office pretty straight aud the lather of* the child offers to give tails! actory preols of the insertion. This it drawing it rather atroug. Justice. Tne last number of the Aibary Central City contained ai. article from the senior editor, stating among other things, that Col. Style* of the Albany News, hid moved its expulsion from the Press Association, both at A rue rices ar.d Atlanta. This charge i. certainly unfounded, a..d we have no doubt but that the j >nrnal ir.akii g the charge is laboring under a nastatem- ut of Lets. Col Styles, as w. : g his duty, did arraign some twelve or fourteen papers, and amongst them the Central City, for a violation of the rules of the Press Association ; bat he distinctly stated that he was moved to that course from a high sense of duty, and Gom no personal teeiiDgs. He further stated to the Convention in Americus, that he hoped they would take no action in the case of that iournal as it was of his own city, and he feared that some might charge that he was actuated by envy or prejudice. We know nothing per sonally about the viol Pion of the rules, but feel It our duty to make this statement in justice to Col. Styies. Gen. McMahon President cf France.—The election of General McMahon, an Irishman, to the presidency of the French Republic is an unex pected turn in the political status of that country, that may well excite the deepest feelings of those unfortunate people. The movement may give new life to the republican sentiments now per vading that country, or it may be the means of enthroning again the Bourbons. It is to be hoped that the love of Republican Government, so dear to Irishmen, is pre-eminent iu the soul of this old man, and that he will use his power, influence and talent in behalf of the highest interests of the French peopfe. What in Free Trade ? In answer to a question propounded by a cor respondent ; what is the meaning of Free Trade V The New York World gives the following: Take two taxes on consumption; a tax on coffee, a tax on whiskey. Coffee is not a domestic product. Whiskey is a domestic product. The tax upun Coffee will be most conveniently col lected at tne Custom-house (until all Custom houses are superseded by some better and less costly machinery), and that is a tariff-tax. The tax upon whiskey will be most conveniently col lected at the still, and that is an excise tax. Both are direct taxes in a proper appreciation of tLe words “ direct and indirect” taxation. Whoever advocates Free Trade would not he supposed to object to taxation by an excise on whiskey. There is no better reason for supposing he objects to taxation by a tariff on coffee. An excise tax cd whiskey to high as to provoke enormous illicit distillation, secret eales and greatly diminished consumption, like a tariff-tax on Coffee so high as to provoke illicit importa tion, smuggling, adulteration, and greitiy di minished consumption, would alike fetter the Freedom of Trade. A moderate excise tax and tariff tax in these cases would not hinder Free Trade. High tariff taxes, then, are objected to by Free-Traders, but for the same reason they would object to high excise taxes. Bat we neither import whiskey nor grow coffee. Take then the tax on sugar which we both im port and produce. Free trade in sugar is no more hindered by a tariff tax on foreign sugar than by the same excise tax on domestic sugar, were tariff' and excise equal and moderate. Forty millions of sugar-eaters would be free to buy where they could buy cheapest. That is Free Trade. During the war many tuxes wore thus laid, to be collected cn the commodity whether by the in ternal revenue collector or by the collector of the port, wherever in the country Its journey to the consumer began. Artfully the taxes on the domestic article collected by the former officer were then dropped, leaving iu force the tax on the foreign article to be collected at the Custom house. Upon all that commodity consumed, foreign or domestic in origin, the people paid the tax ; tor the protected producer sold his share for no less than enough to barely undersell the foreign producer, whose commodity got into our maiket only with its cost increased by the tax. But though the people paid an increased price on all the commodity, only the increase due to the Custom-house tax was Taxation and went to the United States Treasury. The rest was plunder and went to the Protectionist. This then was Unequal Taxation, and besides a fetter upon Free Trade, At first glance it seems a flue thing, and looks like a guarantee of prosperity to the protected industry. Yet who ever delegated to Congress the right to select this or that industry fer our charity ? And it is certain that in the long run Protection does not protect. A most unjust tiling, in truth, this Protection is, for all we, the product of whose industries thus comes back to us through the Custom-hou3e, find our profits cut down, the return of our labor arbitrarily diminished. No importation of foreign goods but has been bought by the outgoing product cf 6ome of our domestic industries. Why should these be damaged that others may be prospered ? Asa matter of fact, since protective legislation began, our exports (and these were products of domestic industries) have been slaughtered. That is a necessary ac companiment ct Protection. As if it possibly could cost nothitg to nobody! It Las cost the United Stated their ship-building, their ship-own ing, and nearly all the export of their manu facturing industries, and vastly more besides. This widespread devastation to certain indus tries and this grievous hindrance to Free Trade in their products, is no necessary result of our heavy taxation. It is a needless rtsult of a bad system of taxation, and superadds the cost of our bluuderiug, to the cost ot running the Govern ment and paying interest on the debt. Our debt is so hsavy that it will at last enforce economy in Government expenditures, and an equal taxatiou neither ruinous to any industry nor a fetter upon the free exchange of its products. 80 far is it from being t:ue that our debt makes necessary a taxatiou by such a tariff, that on the contrary our debt makes necessary a wise taxation and a Free Trade and a currency redeemable iu specie. To say nothing of the injustice of the tariff, we cannot afford it, just because of our debt. The Chattanooga Times.—We clip the follow ing lrom the Atlanta Herald, and can bnt express onr surprise at that journal, generally so outspo ken, allowing the little “fraud” Kirby to go un scathed, when he had made such grave charges against the Georgia press: “We really haven’t any space or any lime to waste on Kirby, of the Chattanooga Times, or his little paper, bnt cony this squib from its gifted columns merely to show its animus: The Atlanta Herald abuses the Times and calls its editor ugly names because we said that the late Governors’ Convention (may its soul rest in peace) was seized npon and controlled by a ring ot canal speculators, who went into it with a cut and dried programme; that this ring was made up of the incorporators of the Georgia Canal Company; that its leaders bad got control of a portion 'ot the press of that State by promising them in some in stances, stock, and giving it outright to others. These statements we know to be substantially true, and if some respectable newspaper should take the responsibility ot a square denial—which the Herald does no;—we might be induced to prove tneir truth. As far as the Herald is concerned we squarely deny the charge, and believe that it is ill-natured buncombe from beginning to end. Kirby is to be pardoned for pandering to the prejudices of his own little bailiwick, for that is meat and bread to him; but he has no right to step outside and abuse honest people in the furtherance of this in tention; for that is not meat,and certainly ill-bread. ! Such a course does not greatly enhance a reputo tiou tb;.t is already not renuikable for courtesy • and fairness in discussion. But, then, what i6 the use ot worrying about Kirby? Good bye, little boy.” Ties Commencement exercises of the Rome Fe male College will begin on the ItHh of June. Rev. J. Henry Smith, cf Griemboro, N. C-, will de liver the address, on that day, to the graduating class. Rev. D. Hamilton, of Cave Spring, will deliver the sddre-s to the Aiumi i Society on the ISth of J uue. a Tub engiuetis of the Georgia Western R.R. have reached Cauipteli’e (Gap, Talladega county, ’ Alabama. speech of < 01. Ualicr, Col. Baker, in presi rting the bind tune and beautiful cake to the ycung ladies ol Furlow Female College at Amirlcu?, iu behalf of the Press Association, said: Ms. Douglas's—ln behalf r : the Press Associa tioo ot Geo:g'a, it is my plea.-ant duty to present to Uie young ladies of Fcrluw Female College of Ami-ricus, through you, as the President of that institution, this beautiful pryamidal cake. It is no slight token of appreciaticn, that we effer. This present has a value in it-elf. It is fashioned of materials rich and rare, and the syniim-try ot proportion is made more attractive by the beauty of the adornments, all evincing artistic skill and taite, and harmoniously blending iu it as a triumph cf art, the graceful, the symmetrical and the beautiful, a preset.t from Mrs. C. W. Hancock, of this city of beauty and ot generous hospitality. We received it not as rn .de to us as an association of individuals, but as a tribute that vomaa pays to the power acd moral excellence ot the We prize this token for the association connected with it. We value it, ior the liveliness and worth of woman are thus associated with the moral power of the P.eis. We value the gilt, for it is the donor that ennobles the benefaction. Varied as are the munificent displays of beauty and bene ficence iu the works of the creation, yet Heaven’s last gi;t to man—woman—is the crowning excel lence in beauty, love and wortu. Thus, the Press as a Sentinel, gives the alarm at the approach of danger to the rights and liberties of the coun try. Its watchful vigilance unmasks the traitor, and exposes the wiles of him who seeks his own, and not his count y’s good. As an advocate it vindicates the course of truth, justice and patriot ism. Asa guardian of the general welfare, it ad vances the interests of commerce, manufacturies, agriculture, aud the varied industries ot the ccun tiy. Asa moral and iutclieetuul educator, day by day aud from week to week, it addresses itself to the iuiud and heart of Ihu people, printing lessons in science, knowledge nnd virtue, and especially to the young it opens a treasury of information and instruction. Asa friend it visits the family circle, and the homes ot the land, carrying useful news, filling up leisure time with interesting themes, driving dull care away with wit and anecdote and sprightly rehearsal. Asa monitor it points to the path of honor and ol virtue. That father is a friend to his children who is a p atron of the Press, and gives to Lt:s family the news paper. Great as is the power of the pulp it and noble its theme—yet no less potent is the power of the Pres3. The preacher speaks through the ear, and to a number comparatively limited. The news paper, as a winged messenger, goes abroad ia the l*nd, and speaks through the eye, not in words floating in the air, but iu language fixed on the tablet to be read and then re-read again. It is fitter that woman should value this moral power. She reasons not iu the slow, dull logic of man, but with the quick intuition of her intellect, acd the innate promptings of her heart towards what ever is true or noble, or useful. Thus, woman lends her influence to the might and power of the Press. The strength of moral purity and the might of moral energy have intertwined their in fluence, and like the oak encircled with the clasp ing vine, the Press will be immovable amid the storm that tyranny, though armed with the purse and sword, may wage against it. It is becoming that we should present this memorial, linked with these associations, to the young ladies of your College. The Press dees thus express thanks for courtesies received, and would impress upon the polastic mind of the young, now blushing like rosebuds into life, the lesson that woman in her mature appreciation, has taught—a lesson not expressed in woids nor conveyed in written speech, but in sculptured language of art and ol beauty as in this token, seen and felt, telling out that woman is the friend of the moral excellence and power oi the Press. In conclusion, we ret iru thanks for the kind ness manife'sted to us by the ladies ot this beauti ful city, and for the generous hospitality of its citizens. The rain and storm have intervened during our visit here, but your kindly courtesies was the bow beneath the cloud, aud brightened the occasion with the joy and gladness of heart, that nature even in her smiling mood of cloud less ekies could not have evoked. We do sometimes strike bright moments from time. The recollection of the social hours spent here, will he as jewels in the casket of memory. The reminiscences of these social scenes, even in after years, will linger in our hearts. “Long, long, will our hearts with their memories be tilled, With the vase in which roses have once been distilled; You may break, you may ruin, the vase if you will, But the scent ol the roses will hang round it still.” Mr. President, please convey our thanks to the ladies and the students, aDd accept this offering we make at the shrine oi woman’s liveliness and influence. Capa Jack.—From the Frankfort, (Ky.,) Yeo man, we learn that the above named Indian Chief is the descendant of a Kentuckian. That paper says: “It is at this time currently reported in this community, and by many believed, that Captain Jack, the celebrated Modoc chief, is the son of Captain Jack Chamte:?, a native, and formerly a well known citizen of the western p art of this county. In support of this belief the following facts are given : About the year 1845-’6 a prarty of emigrants, made up of citizens of Franklin county and other parts of Kentucky, went to California on a fortune seeking expedition. With this party went Capt. Jack Chambers, a bold, daring man, who, though a full-blooded white man, possessed many of the characteristics, physical, as -well as mental and moral, of an Indian brave. On reach ing California, the party gradually broke up and scattered, but it was well known, and so reported by all those who subsequently returned to Ken tucky, that Captain Jack Chambers fell in with the Modoc Indians, married the daughter of their head chief, at whose death he—Capt. Chambers succeeded to the chieftainship by election, and so continued until the day of his death, only a few years ago. It is also said that, after living with the Modocs seme years, he became so much like the rest of the warriors of that tribe, both in speech and physique, that the closest observer never suspected that he was other than a full blooded Indian. Besides, the Captain himself fa vored the delusion, and hence it is that we see it stated in all the sketches of “ Captain Jack,” the present Modoc Chief, that he is the son of a full blooded chief of that tribe. In fact this was the general belief of all the Indian traders and agents who ever came in contact with him. “At the time of his joining the Modocs, Capt Jack Chambers was between thirty-five and forty years oi age. Previous to his emigration to Cali-, fornia, he had volunteered in the war for the in dependence of Texas, where he distinguished him self as a brave soldier and capita) officer. It is an interesting and remarkable fact in his personal history, that he was cue ol a family of twenty-four children—twenty-cne sons and three daughters— all cf whom grew to maturity, most of whom aro still living, and nearly all of whom were re markable for physical qualities closely resembling those cf the higher types of the American Indians. Another Wild Man.— A correspondent of the Cleveland Banner (Tenn) says: The horrible sight of a hairy man has been seen in Fannin countv, Georgia. He is wild and monstrous he has been seen in houses carrying off women and children. He is eight feet high, and is covered all over with black curly hair. He started from a house lately with a woman in hie arms, but by the apppreaeh of two men she was released. The settlement was alarmed, and pursuit given on horseback. Alter a hard ride the monster was overtaken, and a terrible fight ensned, in which a man by the name cf Haircrow was killed, and a horse had his tail torn or, aEd the pursuers were forced to retfoat and leave the field in the pos session cf the monster. Ike settlers are arming themselves with guns and watching lor him. He makes his appearance just before or in time of a rain. A letter 1.68 been received in New Orleans from a German intending immigration, inquiring whether it will be safe for him to venture through New Orleans on uis way to Texas, provideij he is well armed, aud Las a j—s lrom the German Emperor. 1 iking tiie Family Gi n.—There has been gin s'anding b-blud a cupboard- in a Pmestr ■! res idence for the past eight years. It t ele: g o !<> the occupants father, and was set up th • '.u a loaded conditun. Its presence was alway- an eye sore to the occupants wile, who shared Icily with the sex their fear of fire arms. So the o: her fl-J—Friday, we think—she induced her ha= band to take if down and fire it off. He had never flied off a gun that had been loaded eight year* ; iu (act, he never fired off a guu at all, so he poked :t out of a window and took aim into the garden, with out the faintest shadow ol fear. His wife, being afraid ot fire-arms, stood behind his back and look ed over his shoulder, with her eyes tight shut. He shut his eyes too, and then pulled the trigger. What immediately lollowed neither appears to have any settled idea. He says he can vaguely remember hearing a noise of some kind, and lu.s an indistinct recollection of passing evir some thing, which mast have been his wite, £8 she wes ouud between him aud the window by the neigh bors who drew him out of the fire-place. The fact that oue of his shoulders was 6et back about two inches, end that three of her teeth were im beded iu the scalp, seemed to indicate that in step ping back from the window he had done so sud denly, and this conclusion, we are glad to say, was veriiitd by both on .being restored to eou- Ciousnees .—Danbury News.
