Locuiana, Biui Art and Wheat.—
General McMillan and Pinchbeck who
have both been j.;>*.ug around Windiing

in the Senate from Louisiana, have gone
homo iu diagust. Ths net ute has con
eluded that the country can get along tol
erably well with ut the *eiv;cc> of either
at present. Meantime they both return
to their. main bueineae— manipulating tha
Htlaira of Loniaicna. The d.fTertnce be*
tween the two it tiii# llnohback u.'l
lua coug&i are in poeacceion of the boo!- -
and accounts, and McMillan's friend* hold
the caah. Or, it may l> explained by da
ctaion of the learned Georgia Magistrate
in the case of Bill Arp rs. the man who
had giren him the j e/trence of his crop
of whaat. The contract was that William
should hare the preference. IJut when
the producer harvesiecl tiis crop, wheat

man at the market rates Bill rued Liar
and went into Court ujx.o the chief plea
entitled *■ preference. ” The Court de
cided that ho was cle-arly entitled to the
preference. “ But who gets the wheat?”
said Viiiikiua. “Oh ! there la nothing
said about that in the contract, and it is
the clear opinion of this Court that he gets
the wheat whilst you get the preference.”

The most important item is the final
condemnation and sentence of E F. Spann,
and Miss Kberhart. the notorious murder
ers of Mrs. Spann. Every subterfuge has
been resorted to by their attorney's to
save them. The case went to the Supreme
Court upon the insanity dodge, but the
venerable Justice in disposing of that said

sense enough to tell the officer that he

Captain Jack and his Modoc* who fold
ed their tents like the Arabs, and silently
stole away, have not yet been found by the
United (Hates troops. We are not sure
that the troops want to dud them. It is
likely they somewhat resemble the Rocky
Mountain hunter who finding fresh bear
tracks in a path, concluded he hadn't lost
any bear and turned back They haven't
lost any Modocs.— Courier Journal
A llicmond paper, some time ago. gave
notice that It would strike from its ex

containing the “Meat he a Chinee," or

the paper was compelled to como out, for
once, with tome original matter in it.

We yesterday presented an array of facts
and figures in regard to distances over ex
isting lines to the Northwest, and the length
of the proposed route from Macon to Kaox
villa and the nce to Louisville and Cincin
nati, which ought to effectually settle the
question and put all quibbling as to our
duty in the premises to silence. We must
concentrate all our energies and capital
upon one direct line to Knoxville We
have not a particle of use for another road
to Atlanta The Macon end Western is
amply prepared to bring dr vn freight from
flm*. city. No bloc kados or delays ever
occur there lut they are at Chattanooga
and Louisville If there Tsany rivalry ex
press 1 or implied in this enteiprise it has
reference t the Western and Atlantic,
Nashville at,d Cliattano ,a,aiid Louisville
and*Nashl ie roads And as they luve
shown fo-; ears a f-.fat iocouipeieucy to
meet the commercial wants of this and
other cities in Georgia, they can have no
ob}ectiot*> to our road. Atlanta should
become a la r ge stockholder in the new
road, for hy lif:iug the burthens from the
.State Road, 1 er commerce will be greatly
benefited in that it will give an opportu
nity to her freights to conic through in de
cent time.
Every intelligent citizen of Macon knows
what the road will do for his city, for Mid
dle and Southwest Georgia, tor South Ala
bama and Florida. Its officers say that in
the item of coal alone, vast quantities of
which are being consumed in our city
every year and the demand increasing an
nually at the rate of 30 per cent., they will
deliver it in Macon at 15.50 per ton. We
are paying sll now for North Georgia and
Tennessee coal, and sl3 lor anthracite.—
As the road will be 21-1 miles sliertir to
Cincinnati than the roads now in opera
tion, of course the tariff on grain, flour,
bacon, hay uud every other spi'des of pro
duce we now consume will !<c reduced
fully one third. In these i’enis alone
Macon will muke 60 per cent, every year
upon the $200,000 she is asked fo sub
scribe towards building the road.
Nor L# tiiis all. We want the cotton and
the trade of Jones, of Newton, of Jaajter,
of Rockdale and the other counties through
which the line will probably run direct or
contiguoua. The cotton they produce nat
urally Itelonga to the city of Macon, and
if wc give them a railway by which they
can get to tow n, they will come here to
buy their groceries, their dry goods, their
agricultural implements, their hardware,
and everything else ramifying throughout
the wants of mat).
It is astonishing that this rnad hns not
!i>een built before, L.ku a great anti yet
perfectly simple invention, it is marvellous
that some one ne ver thought’of It until
now. And t lie man who objects to it
would not he unlike one who would at
this late day pronounce steam a humbug
and the electric telegraph a cheat.
Ivor can we appreciate tire idea that it
is going to taka fifteen or twenty years to
build the road. Como down with the
money, put the right sort of contractors
along the route for every few miles aud
it will be put through iu twenty-four
mouths. It once look eight aud ten years
to construct such a railway, but wu have
pnssul into i now eta now. Men to day
do more work before breakfast than they
used to in tweaty tour hours.

There is, ever, a sadness in the death of
j friends, and it is intensified in that of our near
est and dearest relatives. Death is natural. It
i is inevitable, sooner or later. All must yield
!to the Ruler of graves. YVe allude to death as
| it comes In the ordinary dispensations of Prov
, idence. In such eases, families we p, friends
I mourn the loss of friends. But, to them, there
; is the consolation of having watched by their
sick beds, ministered to tlieir wants,'heard
their last words, and finally closed their eyes
when their spirits took their eternal flight.—
* But how different it is when our fathers, our
i children, our friends, die upon fields of battle.
Iu the oue case, there is private grie'; in the
! other, public- sympathy; YYhen one i ies for
j hi* coun -y. the prbbe feel that a i end and

j that, in t ie war. ard we have become ungrate

Come, then, p*- -pie of Georgia and the
South, and let us , spond U or- sentiments
