From our Special Com spondent.
Two Month’s Sojourn in Spanish Hon
duras.
f?;’ Registration lias commenced in some of
the districts of this State, and we suppose the
opportunity to register will soon be offered the
voters of this district. We trust our people
will be watchful on this subject, and that every
friend of his country who cap will not fail to
take the proper steps to qualify himself to
vote. Those who, for any reasons outside of
the law, neglect this important public duty,
will aid, unwittingly, in giving a fatal blow to
the liberties of the State.
Wiiat a Confession.—A Radical journal,
writing of the Washington City municipal elec-
t ion, said, “Very few whites voted, and the
Republican ticket was elected by a large major
ity.” This confession of the manner by which
the Radical party triumphed speaks volumes
against it. The intelligence and refinement of
the National Capital reject it, but its ignorance
and seini-barbarism sustain it. What more
satisfactory proof is needed to convince the
reader that Radicalism is not suited to the
times. It luiSj, abolished, in ten Stales, the
trial by jury—Iras overturned ten States Con
stitutions—has trampled under foot the Na
tional compact—lias terrorized over eight mil
lions of whites, and subordinated their intelli
gence to the rule of the barbarous of blacks—
lias disfranchised enlightenment and enfran
chised ignorance, placed upon the shoulders of I
the people a debt of countless propor tions, and j
committed other crimes the enormity of which j
eternity alone can reveal.
Jrdof. Warner.—The Milledgeville Recorder j
has been informed that Gov. Jenkins has ten-
dered Judge Warner the seat on the Supreme j
Bench, vacated by the death of Judge Lump- j
kin, and we doubt not it will be accepted. It :
is thought that there will be no interference on j
the part of Gen. Pope, inasmuch as the Attor
ney General has expressed the opinion that
District Commanders have no authority to re
move officials or fill vacancies; ami moreover
General Pope heretofore thought it incumbent
upon him to intervene for filling vacancies
only in such offices as are filled by popular
elections. An Atlanta exchange says Hon. L.
E. Bleckly will be appointed Judge of the Su
perior Court of the Coweta Circuit, which office
will be vacated by Judge Warner’s promotion.
Education.
White orators of a certain ilk in the Soutli
never weary in urging the negro to educate
himself and children. This is good advice, but
it is too limited in its application. The white
race of Georgia, and every other Southern State,
should be stimulated on this subject. We be
lieve that before the war there were 40,000
adult whites, in £this State»alone, who could
neither read nor write, and we believe and fear
that their number lias been greatly increased
by the events of the last six years. What a
shame upon the intelligent citizens of Georgia
that they permitted so inncb mind to waste.—
Have we no power to force parents to send
their children to school or educate them at
home ? Is society powerless to inflict a penalty
for neglect in this particular ? If men will be
ignorant—are too stingy and narrow-minded
to buy books, magazines and newspapers for
themselves and children to read—if they love
the dollars so well that they will refuse to give
them to the teacher for his services, has gov
ernment no power to deal with them in some
way for it? lias any parent the moral right to
rear his children in ignorance, denying them
all the advantages of the age, and thus dis
qualify mg them for full future usefulness?—
Ought not government to run the hand of the
tax-gatherer fnto nis pocket, if he has property,
and extract a sufficient amount to pav for the
tuition of his off-spring ? If destitute of means,
ought he not be forced to send his children
to school and the expenses be paid otherwise.?
It does seem to us that people and govern
ment- have been too negligent of their duties
in these particulars. The man who will lag
behind, who refuses to learn, read and be in
structed. should be made to suffer himself and
C>n the sixth morning after leaving New Or
leans, soon after the sun had lit up the eastern
horizon, being almost exhausted by sea-sick
ness, our steamer approached the bautiful rib
bon-like shore of Central America in the dis
tance, which broke upon our delighted vision,
i As the distant waves would sink before us. or
our little steamer raised aloft by those beneath,
I we could faintly see the green line, with lumps
| here and there. We soon after discovered this
line to he trees and the lumps to be mountains.
; The children soon became much excited and
fancied they saw monkies spoiling in the trees,
I while a portion of our sea-sick party vowed
never to leave terra jlrmu again. A few leagues
brought us in plain view of St. Barbara, and,
I no one on board knowing how to proceed far-
i tber, we had the good fortune to meet three-j ^
j natives in a thru, from Truxiiio. on a trading
i expedition to Omoa. One of these we to"k
aboard and was piloted safely to our destination.
d lie scene from the bay of Honduras, on a
bright morning, is exceedingly beautiful and
grand, ihe dense forest comes down to the
water’s brink at times on fertile plains, and
then again on abrupt hills. These hills rise
one upon another to the southward, till their
towering height is almost lost in the clouds.—
The bay is a beautiful clear sheet of water, in
which were seen numbers of fish far below its
surface. While enjoying the view we suddenly
rounded a point and dropped anchor within two
hundred yards of the shore.
W bile the revenue and military officers were
detaining us, we sat under the awning and
wrote to the loved ones at homo. After a
trivial examination of our baggage, we went
ashore in canoes and enjoyed a rest under the
magnificent shade trees. The inhabitants, to
our surprize, we found much more civilized
than we had supposed from our meagre infor
mation in the States. The population is esti
mated at 300,000. The greater part are Indi
ans (say two-thirds), the remainder are whites,
creoles and negroes, and are uniformly polite.
\\ hen spoken to, the females bow and the males
touch their sombreios. They treat you hospi
tably, and when iu their houses not unfrequent-
Iy stand iu your presence, showing a conscious
ness of their inferiority. They rarely ever sit
at the table with you, prefering to wait till you
j are served. The commoner classes dress in
plain cot-toil cloth, made very much after our
fashions. Filthiness is almost unknown, wash
ing constituting the principle labor of the fe
males. The better class dress neatly and tastily,
and enjoy many of the luxuries of life. This
class is confined to the cities. On the coast we
saw a great many negroes, but in the interior
there are very few.
As a general thing the natives are honest.—
Theft is an uncommon occurrence among them.
In dwellings where they have trunks—and they
are partial to them—they leave them unlocked ;
and in many of the stores their money is put
seemingly as a temptation. On our way from
Comayagua, the capital, we spent a night at
the village of Santa Cruze. Next morning one
of our mules was missing, and when we had
exhausted our patience looking for it, we ex
pressed the belief that it was stolen. This,
they said, could not he, for nothing of value
had ever been stolen in their town. We soon
after found the mule in the woods sick. There
are no robbers in the country. The writer
traveled six hundred miles in the country,
without being insulted or molested, in compa
ny with two others.

emptying into the sea near Peurto Caballes.—
We will speak more particularly of this Lake
in another place.
On leaving Omoa, going to the interior, we
proceeded to San Redro, eighteen leagues north.
J he ride was down the beach for five miles ;
here the mountain approached so near the sea
that the waves run in the road at high tide.—
\\ e suddenly leave the sea and begin the ascent
of the Omoa Mountains, and after a travel of
twenty miles we reached the beautiful Plain of
imla. This plain is exceedingly lovely, of tri
angular shape of seventy miles on the sea and
extending inland over sixty miles, to near the
nfiul lake Y- A -a. The-soil of Honduras
is as varied as the products are numerous. The
Plain of Hula is generally a dark, sandy, allu
vial soil, un a firm day foundation, but occa
sionally interspersed with small savannas, des-
I fituto of forest- growth, and covered with grass,

j may desire. The writer saw every variety he
; had ever seen in the United States. But gen-
I orally the soil is exceedingly productive. The
I Plain of Sula is not perfectly level, as many
j suppose, but rolls sufficiently towards the sea
j to completely drain it. That part of it lying
i north of the Chamilecon is the best. The
j hind is fertile and not subject to overflow, like
J much of that on the Ulna. Twenty miles from
j the head of the plain some miserable poor
l ridges, covered with-flint rocks, scrubby bushes
j and small, knotted oaks, resembling the black
; jacks, push themselves down on the plain. We
| traveled eight miles in crossing them. They
| are from one to two hundred feet high, and as
! poor as any part of the earth’s surface. On
; leaving these, going south, we again traverse
| the plain.
I At the village of Yojoa (fifteen miles from
the lake of the same name), the head of the
plain, the country is very rocky, and at many
places the mules exercised their utmost caution
to prevent falling. Leaving Yojoa, we ascend
about two hundred feet and i^aeh a second
plain, i Lis is not so fertile, and is compara
tively small. Suddenly the road winds up the
side of a steep mountain, two thousand feet
above this last plain. When its summit is
reached at the elevation of twenty-five hun
dred leet above the level of the sea, we find
ourselves in another country, as different from
that through which we had just passed as is

These are not continuous,

some hickory, etc. Yojoa is the most pictu
resque and romantic lake of clear water we ever
beheld. At a great elevation above the sea
this Lake rests upon the bosom of the fine
table lands, while the lovely savannas stretch
for miles to the east, the mountains on its
western shore rise to the altitude of several
thousand feet. It is as clear as crystal, and
its pure waters are alive with multitudes of
fishes and turtles, while numbers of many
varieties of water-fowls sport upon its bosom.
It is twenty-five miles in length, with an aver

gave him a good opportunity to aid the “boys

There seems to be no good reason why South

“I tell you there is,” said the old captain,
again scooping up a handful, “ and I’ll bet a

“Well,” said he, “ spell that, ’ pointing to
the word * p-e-p-p-e-r,’ painted on the side of

The bet was paid.
We are now receiving and have in store, a
large and desirable stock of finished and rough
Marble, which we offer to the public on the
most REASONABLE TERMS.
Owing to the high price of Marble at this
time, many persons are kept from purchasing.
I propose to reduce prices so that all can buy.
My facilities are such for purchasing the mate
rial, that I will be satisfied with small profits
and quick sales—such is my motto.
We are prepared to fnmish. in the best style,

Tablets, carved and plain, Head-Stones, Urns,
Vases, Mantles, &e., and furnishing Marble of
all descriptions.
With good and experienced workmen in all

a share of public patronage. Designs of Mon
