To th* Editors of the Hxbald:
Although a stranger in your midst, 1 can
not forbear to speak a word to the ladiee of
your oommunity upon a subject in which
they, in common with your own sex, are
vitally interested. I allude to the meeting at
the Legislative hall to-night, for the purpose
ot organizing in the State of Georgia a soci
ety similar to one which has been orgaized in
Yrginia, which has for its aim the collecting
of material tor a history of (he late war. I
attended the meeting In Richmond in October
last, and its enthusiasm end interest was like
tbs sounding of ■ familiar note unheard since
the close of the struggle.
Tbs members are especially anxious to in
terest Southern ladies in the matter, and
they hope for mneh assistance from them;
ana surely they will be ready to do what they
can to save from dishonor the cause in which
so many loved ones were ready to lay down
their lives.
It is not neeeissry to say more, as I nnder-
atafifi * full account of the aims and objects
of iWwaahrg wilt appear in thfcrpa^ur.

It is with full consciousness that I may be
thought guilty of a violation of conven
tional propriety when Ij address this
appeal, on behalf of the Southern Historical
Society, to the “women," and not to the
ladies, of Georgia.
Thore is too sacred a feeling connected with
the devotion and heroism of “the Women
ot tbe^Soath”—their “war record” is too in-
deliblyfimpressed on.the pags of history to
suffer me to offer apology for employing a
term which, most unhappily, is in the vocab
nlary of polite words aud phrases, losing its
sacredness and its dignity.
My reason for this appeal through the pub
lic journals will be best understood from the
following resolution, unanimously adopted by
the society at its meeting last September:
‘-Resolved, That the women of the South
who desire to do so, enroll themselves as
members of the society, in the name and on
behalf of friends and relatives who have fal
len in the contest, or who, having shared its
perils, have since died."
The Southern Historical Society has been
organized, and is now actively operating for
the collection, lrom every quarter of the
South, of those facts of the war—be they
written or existing only in the memory—
which must note be collected and filed to be
come authentic matter for the future histo
rian of the South, or, from neglect, become
subject to such mutilation and loss as will
render them of little or no valne as witnesses
for the cause of Southern truth.
This, then, is that appeal whicb the South
ern Historicial Society makes to every true
man and every true woman in the South.
The history of the Sooth prior to, pending,
and since the war will most assuredly be
written. Shall it become a text book for all
future time to the form of au appendix to a
history of the United States—a sketch of the
great rebellion that, after four years of
gigantic effort, was baj pil/ suppressed, or
shall it be a history of priuciples nobly main
tained, of heroism aud endurance unparal
leled, of sublime self-sacrifice and devotioD
on the part of the matrons aud daughters of
the South—in a word, a history of truth from
the pages of which will be tenderly gathered
up lessons ot truth, purity, justice and honor
tor the sons and daughters of the Southern
future ?
In the monthly record provided by the
Southern Historical Society for all ita mem
bers will be found contributions from all
parts of the Sonth, and in the furnishing of
these contribu'ions and in the perusal of
those furnished by others, it is hoped and
confidently believed that such an intelligent
and patriotic interest will be aroused and
maintained that this society, founded to se
cure from extinction the truth of the past,
will become a potent and most effective in
strnmentality for the fostering and perpetuat
ing of ali that is noble, and pare, and true in
the future.
I am compelled to indulge the hope that
my advocacy of the claims of s society having
aims so noble and a scope so extended, will
be met by a hearty response from all true
Southern men, and from those to whom,
especial, this appeal is addressed -the Wo
men of Georgia."
Very respectfully,
Henry Ecbane,
Gen. Agent So. His. Society.

A Curd from tbe Drum Major.
McPherson Barracks,
Atlanta, Ga., February 13, 1874.
To the Editors of the Htim.n :
As some persons in this city, whose hatred
of the United States flag appears to have de
stroyed their judgment, and, necessa
rily, perhaps made it impossible for them to
treat the triends of that flag with common
courtesy, have assumed to censure my actiuD,
on the 11th inst., in quitting the parade of
the militia companies of Atlanta, I desire to
make a tew remarks concerning that matter.
The correspondence already published by
you shows beyond question that a gross in
sult was given to the flag which was adopted
asthe common emblem of our nationality by
men whose memory cannot be tarnished by
the pitifal spite of any of tbeir degenerate de
scendants.
When this insult was given, that beautiful
hat,'which seems to hive excited the envy of
tbe editorial heart of the Herald, immedi
ately left the parade in search ot more con
genial company, and I went with the hat
I am a soldier of the United States. I have
proved my devotion to the flag of my country
on many a battle field; Bnd I certainly shall
not fail to resent any insult offered to it either
by foreign enemies or domeslio malcontents.
Very respectfully yours,
E. R. G. Sattes,
Drum Major, 2d Infantry.
Tlie Drama.
We are satisfied from the libera! enthusi
asm that was manifested lust night by the en
tire audience at DeGive’s, that if “Article 47”
existed in the penal code of Georgia it would
be overwhelmingly abolished by the patriotic
people of Atlanta, and of the entire State if
they had an opportunity of witnessing the un
excelled rendition of tbe highly emotional so
ciety drama of that title. Laudations of dra
matic performances, we know, are generally
conceded as a reciprocal return of favors
shown to the press ; but in this instance we
desire to state (without claiming any extra
credit for it) that we paid for onr admission,
and what we say is nnbiased by any motive
save that of justice.
This is unquestionably the best and rarest
combination of true dramatic talent that we
have ever seen in Atlanta, and it is certainly
tbe first performance of which we can say
that every one sustained his or her character
perfectly. When we undertake to speak of
any one iu particular, we at ouce become in
volved in the iDextricable difficulty of decid
ing which one did the best, and we can only
accord the difference to the castes of character,
that required a more thorough exhibition of
talent aud training. We advise all who have
a desire to witness a performance that is not
only divested of every appearance of immo
rality, but actually refining and elevating in
its character, to attend the performance to
night, and each succeeding one during the
company’s engagement here. Those who can
not attend the night performance, can attend,
with their families, the Matinee on Saturday
evening next. We advise all to go, as this is
certainly a tare opportunity for witnessing
the true and legitimate drama.

MardI Graa, or Shrove Tataday.
We need not tell onr readers that Mardi
Gras is the last day of the Carnival, and that
tbe season of Lent begins the day altar, dar
ing whieh the Catholic and Episcopal popu
lation, numbering so large a majority of the
people of the city, abstain from festivities,
indulgences, and all manner of amusements.
It is not strange, therefore, that, as the
Carnival season draws to a close and the day
of Mardi Gras approaches, the spirit of rev-
elrj and amusement becomes more and more
active, and that the feslivities of the season
have always culminated, as in the Sonth of
Europe and other Catholic conntries, on Mar
di Gras, in all sorts of innocent amusements,
out of doors and in doors—grotesque proces
sions, masks, practical jokes, and a univer
sal abandon of festivity and merry-making.
I TS HISTORY.
In 1857, some time before Mardi Gras,
there were whispers that a fresh and novel
entertainment would be offered to the people
of New Orleans. Nobody at first knew what
it would be, bnt by some means it leaked out
that an organization, calling themselves “The
Mystick Krewe of Comas," would appear
npon the streets on Mardi Gras night in all
sorts of fancifnl masks and cost urn.; that
they would form in a procession, inarch
through the principal streets and then retire
to the Varieties Theater, where certain tab
leaux of a mythological character would be
exhibited; afterwards a grand ball would be
given, to which only a certain select company
would be invited.
After this celebration, enough was known
to satisfy the public that the Krewe was com
posed of precisely the right sort of persons to
make an affair of this kind a perfect success.
Nobody knew who they were, and nobody to
this day has lifted the impenetrable veil ot
secrecy which keeps their identity from the
public. Suspicions have indulged, of coarse,
■a is natural m all such esses, but the Krewe.
whoever they are, have st least tbe merit of
sacredly preserving their incognito, and from
1857 to this time, no one can say he is positive
of kno wing s single member.
It is evident, however, that they are gen.
tlemen of intelligence, of wealth and of social
position. No others oonld prepare sad so ap
propriately represent the beautiful tableaux
whicb they have successfully exhibited. No
others could bear tbs expense which attends
such costly oelsbrstions, and no others oonld
get together such select and brilliant assem
blages of the cream of tha population, of both
■exes, as have always marked the Krewe cele
brations in New Orleans.
IIT1EEMH ANNUAL FESTIVAL—1874.
Tbs subject selected by the Krewe for the
approaching Mardi Gres, February 17th,
1874, ws know not, nor can it be known un
til the arrival ot tbe auspicious day. All
who are Interested ia tha ooming display are
truly pictured by our dlatinguiehM “Bill
Arp," when be said, “everybody wanting to
know everything and nobody knowing noth
ing.” Look not in tba future, for no man
knows what tbe Krewe “may bring forth.”
Clairvoyants have gone into “voluntary bank
ruptcy,” in New Orleans, not being able to
give satisfactory answers ss to the coming
<U ?ear after year these brilliant carnivals are
held in tbs immortal Crescent City, end the
last seems always on s grander seels than tbs
one before, yet taking them altogether, no
comparison can be made, for all seem perfect.
The day is celebrated ia other of owr Booth-
arc cities. Mobile ranks next to New Orleans,
with her “Cowbellogians,” while Galveston,
Memphis and Selma rejoice when Shrove
Tuesday oomss again. Atlanta has caaght
the “fever” end King Bex and bis meiry
krona.”
A number of AUantsse left last night for
tbe “Crescent City ’ over tha Kenaaaew route
to attend Mardi Gras, or Fat Friday; also,
many delegates from neighboring elites in the
State, aa wall sa many from Booth sad North
Ceroliea- To-night tha last sleeping car over
that route leaves at six o'clock.
Now is tha time to pat tba Gatdsnsr’s
Phosphate under Irish potato** and Bnglteh.
On ’Change*
Mr. Speaker:
The joint standing Committee on Finance
have examined the accounts and vouchers of
tbe Comptroller and Treasurer, as reqnired
by section 175 of the Code, and respectfully
submit that the books of these offices have
been neatly and correctly kept, and their an
nual reports are sustained by the condition
of their offices. Supplemental reports
were also made by the Comptroller
and Treasurer, from tbe close of the fiscal
year to February 1st, 1874, to which reports
were also examined by your committee, and
found correct The supplemental report of
the Treasurer shows a cash balance in the
treasury of $708,406 89, which amount your
committee found in tb 9 hands of the Treas
urer and his depositories.
Youi committee call attention to the ardu
ous and responsible duties of these officers,
and toith* laborious and faithful manner in
whicb they have been discharged.
Tbe efficiency of the Comptroller is espe
cially shown in tbe prompt collection of the
taxes, and the skilful management of all the
interests of tbe Btate intrusted*to him.
Tbe Treasurer deserves tbe gratitude of tbe
people for his zeal and skill in the successful
negotiation of the loan of last year, at par,
under depressing circumstances, with smaller
expense than ever before incurred, and in
his management of the State’s fioauces.
The Clerks of these offices, Messrs. Ren-
froe and Grieve, are commended for the neat
ness and clearness with which their books
and papers have been kept. AU of which is
respectfully submitted.

By Alderman Goodwin—
We call special attention in this issue to
the notice of Messrs. Joiner ft Stockton, of
the Atlanta Auction House. These gentle
men have just formed a copartnership lor the
transaction of an auction and commission
business; and from the well known business
character of these gentlemen, we can assure
tha public that all busmens entrusted to tbeir
cars will not only reoeivo prompt attenti aa,
but secure tbs benefit of their peculiar facili
ties aud advantages. We bespeak them a
liberal patronage from our citizens.

bone French woven corset, 65 cenlB; worth

$1 00. Gents’ calf boots, $3 00; worth $5 00.
All-wcol delanes, all colors, 25 cents; worth

It gives ns pleasure to bear testimony to tbe
acceptable manner in which the polite assist
ant messenger of tbe Senate, Peter McMich-
eal, discharges the dalles of his position. Pe
ter’s urbanity and studious attention to the
waDts of Senators and others on the floor of
the Senate make him a general favorite.
W. H. Brotherton has a large lot of water
proof cloth, which be is anxious to sell tie-
fore the Besson closes, consequently he has
reduced the price 25 per cent. Call early if
you wish to secure a bargain in them.

AUCTION 5 COMMISSION.
T ^HHOUGHTFUL men who have devoted themselves
I to the Agriculture of this oountry. and eapeoaUf
of the South, where agriculture has been and must
continue to be the leading pursuit, have long sinoe
felt convinced that the greatest boon which could be
vouchsafed to us would be a
CHEAP MANURE.
There is no slavery like that which dooms s man to
support a family on poor land, and unless we can get
hold of a cheap manure, this is the destinv reserved
not only lor us in the South, hut likewise for the
whole country. Hitherto we have had in the bouth
a system of laoor which enable* us to clear land and
wear it out and then move west, to richer lande. But
this process can go on no longer, and each year wa
have seen our lands wearing out until ail over tbe
oountry the cry has gone up what can we do to retui u
their fertility.
We have tried Guano and the results are before ns.
All through New England farm* are being abandoned
and in the South the Sheriff holds the keys to s large
number of corn cribs. This year has been especially
disastrous. The low price of cotton has entailed ruin
upon hundreds who have liens to meet for guano and
provisisns.
Just at this time a discovery is made which can be
demonstrated to all who will take the tame to invest**
gate it. It is simply this.
Professor Dodge Hayward
has, after flftv rears of study, discovered a COM
POUND. which can be manufactured and sold in Ab
laut* for from $15 to $20 per ton, equal to any hupet
Phosphate ever soldi n the market.
He claims that It is equal to the beet Peruvian Gu-
ano.
The lectures, which absolutely demonstrate this ast
•nee, are contained in a smali book of about sixty
pages. Tbe price of this book ia $5. The pnrehs er
takes upon himself the obligation contained on tbe
first page, which reads in these words:
••I, the receiver and purchaser of a book, entitled
•The Science of Agriculture Completedby Dodge
Hayward, of Miller’s Falls, Mass , in 1870, sin to uae
the same for my own benefit, on my own tarm. and
not du my neighbors. 1 also promise not to divulge
its contents, or lend or give the book to any one, or
carelessly leave it out of tts proper place for safe keep,
leg until the veer 1880. AU this as above, both In
letter and spirit, 1, the purchaser aud owner of this
book, do promise on my word and honor to keep us
good faith.
This is no humbug. It is no scheme to make a dis
honest dollar. Ail the discoverer asks la that he may
be fairly heard, and hie srienc ‘ investigated before be
is condemned. In proof at this, he makes the follow
ing proposition:
Send fi dollars to hie general agent. Col. ILA
Alston, who will forward the book and* roeeips, in
which he agrees to deposit the money in bank as your
trustee. Give the oompotMui a talr trial during tbe
cowing year ou all year crops, aide b* side with Pern*
visa guano, or any other standard fertiliser, and on
the let day ot November next, if yoc find that yow
have been deceived, and have failed to reap the prom
ised benefits from it. Col. Alston Is authorised and in
structed to return your money. If I can make a
fairer proposition, I don't know bow to make ii 1
will remain in Atlanta until the trial la made.

We. the undersigned, have attended the lectures ef
Prof. Hayward on tha ••bcieoce of Agriculture Com
pleted." While ws are nol able to express any opin
ion aa to now bta theory will work in practice, wo
can state this much—that, to onr minds, be absolutely
demonstrated, by science, tbe truth ot every principle
laid down In thia book. We each of us purchased a
book, and intend to give tbe saaiter a fair trial on owr
crops during the couang year.
