New Revised Edition. Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every Bubject Printed from now tyde, ahdTlinstrat-' ed with Soveral Thousand Engravings and Maps. the wort originally published .under the title of The New American-Cyclopiedia was completed In 1863, since which time the wido circulation it has attained in all parts of the United States, and the Bignol developments which havc'taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art, have induced the editors and publishers to submit itto an exact and thorough revision, and to issue a new edition entitled The Amebican Cycloice- dia. . ' Within the last ten years the progress of : dis covery in every department of knowledge has made a now wort of reference an imperative want. The movement of political affiurshas kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and tha convenience and refinement of social life.— 'Great ware and . consequent revolutions have oc curred,involving uatiohal-changes of "peculiar moment The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared', has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. Large accessions to our geographical knowl edge have been made by the indefatigable explor ers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the last de cade, with tho natural result of the lapse ol time, have brought.iuto public view a multitude of Bow men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulars. Great battles have been fought and important seiges maintained, of which the de tails are as yet preserved' only in newspapors or ia the transient publications of the day, but which now ought to take their places in perma nent and authentic history. In preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bringdown the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the Best recent discoveries in science, of every fresh produttioa >n literature, and of the newest inven tions ffi the pr&Waci arts, as well as to give a sneeinst sail original rccorn- Pf the progress-of political and feistpricAi'eventa. The work has Lftin begun after long and care ful preliminary )ibar, and. with the most ample resouroeatEor carrying ii on to" a successful termi- natlo'n. None of the original -stereotype, plates. have tees used, but every psga has been printed on «Vw type, forming in fact-a new Cycropmdia, with tiie same plan and compavs-as its predecssor, but with a far greater peesmiaryexpenditure, ai.d with such improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowledge. Tho illustrations which are introduced for the first time-in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial effect, hut to give greater lucidity and fofee to the explanations in the text. They embrace ail branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most fa mous and remarkable features of scenery, archi tecture, and art, as well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactures. Although in tended for instruction rather than embellishment bo pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their axccution is enor mous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable featnro of the Cyclo- Pmdi*, and wortny of its lngh character. This work is sold io Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. ' It will be completed in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing about 800 pages, fnly illustrated with several thousand Mood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.

I say the man to ran for Governor who it is known, will favor the saddling of this robbery, on the people, is already selectetj, and the wires are being pal led for the purpose of securing Ris nomination by the Democrats for the next ; term. And, unless the people snail make this bond matter a direct issue in the next -ele.ction, and utterly refuse to vote for any man for the Legislature or for- Governor, either in nominating conventions or at the polls, who is not beforehand unequivocally pledged against' paying the repudia ted bonds, this plundering ring will alarm all men who wish to enjoy the fruits of their honest toil. I do not know that it would be' be coming in me to make any special ad dress or appeal to the people,- or to “raise my warning voice” against the impending dithgei • I am not an ora- cle in the land, bnt an humble citi zen just as otherpeople. L therefore, simply state tlie fact, through your coluinns, that the programme of the bond ring is, in part, to secure Legislature and a -Governor who -will fasten this unjust uud oppressive load upon us and our children aud grand children for many years to come, and that the man whom they prefer, for Governor is already selected, and is an aspirant. The people can either take warning and never let their vigi lance cease, or they can close thc-ir eyes and let the ring do their work.— I have done all I prep, so to do, in simply stating a fact, and I simply state iliis fact because I am unwilling for-my-ielf aud my child ran to be tax ed to pay tlie«e unjust bonds. H. I. Kimball lias come b .ck to Georgia to secure the payment of those bonds. This is his main—his chief object. He may not take any notice of t e charge I make, or he may denounce it in unmeasured terms and in choicest epithets. It is imma terial to me wlial may be his course. I have already shown that his state ments are unworthy of credit; indeed, this needed not to be shown to the great mass of tlie • eople. No un prejudiced, intelligent man, who h;is no interested, motive prompting him and also regards his own good name, can endorse Kimball’s truthfulness, honor or integrity. To-day a eitizen of Atlanta* said with some emphasis: “I don't see why such a cry is raised against Kimball. The grand juries of this county, to my knowledge, have tried to find some thing against him and failed. I had a very large amount of. business trans actions with him, and I was only the agent of another, and running through along period of time, and I never saw the slightest inclination on his part to ask or desire-auy thing that was not exactly right. I believe he is honest; and if any one had presented that pe tition to me I would'make the man who dared to question my motive 1 suf fer for it!” This was said, not only with em phasis, but with an air of triumph. “See here,” said a listener, “don’t you think Kimball knew Bullock and Blodget and their “.corrupt legislature were defrauding^ the people by tlie million?” “I admit that”’ ‘Then, was it honest in him to in fluence or induce that gang of plunder ers to issue, snd place in his hands to be disposed of bonds and obligations of the State, known by him and every body else to be illegally issued-, and then go and dispose of, dr pretend to dispose of them, and want us to pay for them? Is that honest;” The man saw his dilemma and be gan to hesitate, and to say something, evading the issue. “Come, came,” said his interroga tor, “answer me squarely and candid ly, like an honest man; was such con duct as that honest?" “I must say I think it was not.” “And don’t you: believe Kimball did that very thing?” “Iam not prepared to deny it; it seemsffrom the- records, tLat .he did; but then wily has he never been pros ecuted for it? Won't our laws take hold of and punish such ooaduotl” “That is a question to which yon can give answer as well as L I wish to ask you again if you. thiuk it was honest in Kimball to negotiate, sell, and use the proceeds of those notes plainly-yon have impressed me as I never was"before. I confess the mat ter never was. presented to me in that light before. I must say candidly that X cannot endorse him in this way as an honest man—what ever may. hawe been my previous views and feelings. I mnst thank you for what yon have said. Yon have s-dd it kindly and candidly, I-feel the force of "it.” All of which is respectfully submit ted to your readers by your humble servant who was a deeply interested listener.

It is noticeable that several of the East ern railroad kinas are in Chicago.” Skeleton Leaves. Leaves to be skeletonized shoud be gathered only in dry weather, should also be perfectly matured, July aud August being the best months to gather them. Among the choicest varieties are vine, poplar, beech and ivy leaves.

Mr. Henry Loessner, of this city, with eight hundred soldiers, but re : mained an inactive spectator of the massacre of the Christians of Naih- Duong, onlva few of whom were able to escape. THE LITERATES, who were the heads of the militia ap pointed to massacre the Cliistians, say that the work ®f extermination car ried out under the, eyes of mandarins was concerted between the court and the literatess-, and was done in repri sal for recent events. The mandarins have just received orders from the -coffft'riot to employ any other means save-those of persuasion to stop the murderers in their career. One of the chiefs, who had just caused two Christians to be murdered on the high road, went on the parade before the governor of the citadel, by whom he was dismissed with honor. On his retnm twenty women and children fell under the sword of this man and bis followers. He had just come from offeriug sacrifice to the goddess of prostitution, to whom a famous temple that stands near the road is dedicated. MODE OF TORTURE AND DEATH.

A village of more uhan four hundred Christians was ate tacked by the literates, and soon be, came'a, prey to the flames. Among these four hundred Christians there were one hundred and twenty, mote or less, who succeeded in saving them selves by taking refuge in a large vil lage, nearby. The remainder about three hundred were nearly all massa cred. Two small villages of Chris tians, sitnafed about two hours walk from the placb at Which I then was, were hemmed in by . the pagans.

The results of the recent elections in the Sou th. mnst have some influ ence upon the policy of both the Re- publican and the Democratic parties, and npon the conduct of the various aspirants for the office of President. These results mean that the South ern States," till but two of them, will cast a solid vote against any candidate for the Presidency who is in favor of the civil rights bilL It has hitherto seemed to be almost impossible to open the eyes of the Northern people to the. state of feeling among the whites .of the South on this subject. While rather opposed to any such measure ns the one in question, oqr Northern “brethren” have no doubt thought it would prove a rod with winch to puuish the Southern people for their “rebellion” against the gov ernment. The impression was gener al, also, that it was necessary to pass it in order to prevent the negroes from deserting tile Republican party. The white republicans were omitted from the dalchlatioh altogether. Of all the Northern leaders, Gen. Grant is almost th j, only one whose record is not blurred by his course upon this question. But the Southern people have spoken, and they are almost un animous in their opposition to this hateful measure. What shall bs done now? We are inclined, to hope Con gress may conclude .to let the civil rights bill alone, and try to do some : thing for the benefit \of -.the white people of the South: We hope, also believe, that Gen.

The capacity is nearly doubled by reducing" tlie wa ter to the ten p nature of ice. Hen -e, water kept in a room a while is always unfit for use. For the same reason the water of a pump should always be pumped out in the morning before any of it -is nsed. Impure water is more injurious than impure air. AB^gRck.
