A Merry Christmas!
We have no idea such a thing as a right down
I nr Christmas will be known in the South for
I Jong time. The reason for our opinion is
iLictly theological. Sin is misery, and sin is
I ^ rampant. Christmas comes just about the
I toe Congress meets, sod then sin fs especially
Inmpant. Revenge, plunder, avarice, hatred,
Imili**i falsehood, usurpation, and all the other
Ljes are unchained and fasten their fangs in
L e ncc k of the white fawn. Not until these
I retched demons take a new scent, or learn to
I aw each other, will the honest Southron eat
I Christmas dinner in peace. This Christmas
I is the especial carnival of knavery. Vice is
I triumphant Virtue hangs her head and blushes.
I therefore, wo advise all our readers to com-
IpoM their nerves, to summon ail their forti-
Itsde. light their pipes, and look the situation
| calmly in the face. Let the children dance
Itfaund the pine, the arbor vitm and the mistle-
Itoe. Let the young men and the maidens trip
I the light fantastic toe and kiss behind the holly;
I but we old fogies well know that it is a time to
I nerve the soul against the powers of darkness—
Surra i- unchained and mirth should give
I piece to prayer and watchfulness.
Christmas Holiday.
The Printers claim only two of the eight hol
idays allowed Christendom. They must and
viU have the veritable CbristmM itself, and
this modest allowance, kind reader, will cost
your regular Telegraph and Messences,
I due Sunday morning. There will be no issue,
therefore, until Tuesday morning next.
Then, too, the printer claims New Year’s
dir, the winding up of the festival, and, there
fore, no Telegraph will appear on Sunday
ifter next. For the rest, he is content to travel
on.
Etiwax Guanos.—Wo ask the reader’s special
attention this morning to the advertisement of
Wm. C. Bee & Co., Charleston, agents for these
guanos. They attained, last season, great popu
larity with all planters who used them, and are
let down as having, by the results secured from
their use, more than realized their promise.
The certificate of Dr. Means shows a very high
proportion of the soluble phosphoric acid, which
is so indispensable an element in production.
Huge Tcentt.—Tho editor of tho Thomasville
Enterprise has been presented by Mr. W. J.
Roberts, of that county, with a turnip of the
ted top strap leaf order, measuring thirty inches
in circnmference and weighing eight and three-
quarters pounds.
Letters from Texas say that the tide of im
migration now flowing into the State is without
a parallel. It comes from many directions, and
is tilling up vsrious parts of the great State, but
the larger share of the new comers go to the
northern and northwestern counties. _ They be
come grain farmers, and are greatly increasing
both the product of the region and the price of
lands.
Brigham Young, Jr., is said to bo sojourn
ingin Philadelphia'on account of the unwill
ingness of his third wife, a Philadelphia lady,
to leave that city for the pleasures of Utah. A
plurality of wives, it seems, does not entirely do
away with family difficulties and female influ
ence.— Washington Chronicle.
Ill’TA Bagas.—The finest lot of Buta Bagas
we have seen in Georgia were hauled to market
yesterday by IV. II. Cason, of this county. He
left with us three turnips which weighed thirty
pounds, and ond of them weighed fourteen.
These turnips were raised upon light soil, fer
tilized with stable manure. The turnip crop is
the best crop.
Mexico is again in a state of excitement and
revolution. Insnreection exists in San Luis,
Mictoacan, Pnebia and Jalisco, and is hourly
expected in Mazatlan. At Pnebia, a mob st
aked a Protestant congregation during religi
ous services, severely injuring many, and try-
1Q g to burn some olive, using hymn books for
fuel
Labor Lost.—The World, in a strong article
denounces the perfidy of Congress towards
Georgia—proving beyond dispute that the State
has complied with the terms of the reconstruc
tion acts. But cui bono ? What good can be
accomplished by proving Congress faithless
equally to its own pledges and to the constitu
tion!
A New Bank was organized in this city yes-
terday, under a charter granted by the last Leg
islature, called the "Central Georgia Banking
Company,” and the following officers elected
President, J. K. Jones. Directors, John L.
Jones, A. J. White, P. G. Holt, Jr., John S.
Baxter.
Troops fob Florida.—In response to a de-
taand for more troops in Florida, companies E
and G, of the Eighth United States Infantry,
now on duty at the Citadel in Charleston, are
ordered to that State.
Tue Senatorial Misunderstanding.—The
Journal of Commerce correspondence has this
about it:
A Slight Breeze from the Westward—It is
reported upon good authority that the Senate
Miciary Committee requested the President
*o iurnush all the papers connected with the ap-
Poratments of circuit judges, and that the Pres
ent in reply not only refused to accedo to the
'quest, but wrote the committee a noto more
niaikable for its force than politeness or re-
pect for the members thereof, and complain-
“8 of the indelicacy of the request.
•a Supreme Congress must have servile “co-

RENOUNCING THE WORLD.
The Daughter of Van Dora's Slayer Takes
: * the Blaeh Veil.
[Prom the St. Louis Republican, Dee. 17.
The secluded and elegant chapel of the Con
vent of the Visitation, on Casa avenue was
crowded yesterday with ladies and gentlemen,
the occasion being the interesting and impres
sive ceremonials connected with the pnblio re
ception into conventual life of two young ladies,
one assuming the irrevocable or black veil, and
the other the white symbol of her novitiate.
An episode of this character is one of pecu
liar attractiveness, even to those immersed in
secular concerns, and, whatever creeds may be
embraced in the audience, none can be indif
ferent or insensible to its influence. In itself,
the spectacle of two fair girls in the radiant
bloom of youthful life, deliberately abjuring
the world, which means everything earthly
most treasured, and assuming the obligations
and entering the permanent seclusion of con
ventual existence, has a serious, if a half
mournful, beauty of its own. But when it has
annexed to it the solemnity of religious cere
monials, it becomes one which leaves on the
mind a vivid and enduring impression.
The lady who assumed the black veil yester
day was Miss Clara Peters, daughter of Dr. Pe
ters. She is a convert, we are informed, from
the Protestant faith, and in her profession as a
nun evinces the reality and earnestness of her
convictions. It is a year ago since she entered
the order and assumed the white vofl. She be
comes in religion Sister Mary Paula.
The other young lady who made her first
profession was Mbs Jane Sheppard, apparently
not more than twenty years of age.
Tbe Georgia Rill in the Senate.
The World’s Washington correspondent sum
ming up his report of the debate in the Senate
last Friday, upon the bill ‘‘to promote the De
construction of the State of Georgia” says:
On the whole, to-day’s debate in the Senate,
like yesterday’s, was decidedly damaging to the
Republicans. The difference between the posi
tions of Messrs. Conkling and Carpenter, on the
one side, and Morton, on the other, was simply
whether Georgia should bo coerced directly by
condition precedent or by condition subsequent,
in order to made up the number requisite to en
able Congress to declare the Fifteenth Amend
ment carried; bnt the debate elicited many
damaging confessions, and, as Mr. Morton
rightly argued, it involved an emphatic condem
nation of all the proceedings by which the rati
fication of the Fourteenth Amendment was al
leged to be seenred, and also vitiated both the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. These
violent proceedings were now admitted to be
too indefensible to be repeated on Mr. Edmund’s
theory, the bill was wrong; aU that the Radi
cals now agreed in was the one end of making
Georgia a Radical State and packing a Legisla
ture so as to secure two additional Radical Sen
ators.
More Failures in New York*

additional failures are announced: Benton,
Wills & Co., dealers in worsted goods; W. B.
Sweezey, builder, of Brooklyn; E. T. Petral,

Georgia.
Special Telegraphic Correspondence of the Courier
Journal.]
Washington, December 18, 1869.
The bill to reconstruct Georgia, having passed
the Senate this morning at half past one o’clock,
after a continuous session of thirteen hoars, it is
understood that the programme is to be substan
tially repeated in the House on Monday, when
the bill reaches there. The object is to pass the
measure so the President can sign it before tho
holiday recess, and anticipate thereby any ac
tion of the Georgia Legislature, which would
otherwise meet the first week in January. The
Conservative delegations here say that, if the
Legislature were allowed to meet without Con
gressional interference, it would restore the
colored members in accordance with the reso
lutions passed last session, to this effect, viz:
That if the Supreme Court of the State decided
that the expulsion was illegal, the negro mem
bers wovld be restored. Gov. Bnllock vetoed
the resolution, bnt as the Supreme Court has
decided tho expulsion illegal, the Legislature is
ready to restore them. The Senate bill will
probably pass tho House, with the exaction that
the Legislature shall ratify the Fifteenth Amend
ment before being entitled to readmission.
General Grant and the Senate.
The World correspondent has the following
upon tho slight discrepancy between General
Grant and tho Senate upon the recent Executive
nomination:
The Senate and the President have met in de
fiant attitude face to face. The Senate—and by
the Senate tbe Radical majority is meant—de
mands to know tho Executive’s reasons for mak
ing certain appointments in the new judicial
circuit; and Mr. Grant, in language more
pointed than elegant, says its none of their bu
siness. This is the way this remarkable collis
ion has been brought about: On Friday last
the Judiciary Committee of the Senate, who
have fumed and fretted for nearly two weeks
over tho nominations of tho nine new judges,
and who have received influential protests
against the confirmation of more than half of
them, deemed it best to report a resolution and
did report it unanimously to the Senate, calling
on the President for all letters,indorsements,and
other papers in tho matter of theso appoint
ments, in order to see if the inflnence that made
them was as strong as that opposing them. The
committee had been unable to learn that any
one had recommended, for instance, such selec
tions ns Judge Dmmmond, of Illinois, Loreifto
Sawyer, of California, and McKenna, of Penn
sylvania; and, although the Radical members of
the committeo did not say so in so many words,
it was insinuated that theso names had been sent
to the Senate on tho personal recommendation
of the President and no one else.
The Necessity for Reconstruction.
Tn the vigorous speech of Senator Saulsbury,
made on Friday, in which he gave a pointed
illustration of the Radical legislation that one
day reorganized Georgia in the Union and the
next day declared it out of the Union—he
summed up tho bent of this Radical intent:
“Sir.” said he, with vehemence, ‘‘this is what
has been done, in my humble judgment ;Jhe
necessity in the estimation of S2“ tle ™ en T°:
course Ido not say in the Senate Chamber, bnt
of some gentlemen in tho country—that the
Republican party, as a party, sboifid b «P»““£
nently seated in tho places of power; ’“f d SJ*
fbflv mav be so it becomes necessary to take
awfy from tho people of these States the power
tn control their own political government, to
legislate for themselves within the limitations
ofthe Constitution of the United state8;

butforOi
time to come. ’’ -
Threatening Lmrims.-Fomoy’s Press as
serts that “some of tho Georgia pohticians are
writing threatening 1 eUers” to Washmgton
against reconstruction! What do they threaten?
plague,-pestilence or famine, battle, nmrfero*
Laden death? Tho “threatening, we suppose
amounts to nothing more than tho prediction
thatwhilo reconstruction may bring vast evata
to tho State, it can win nothing to radicalism,
and that will certainly in time be demonstrated
by experience. Ilt

Memorial Volume or Gen. Cobb.—We have pos
itive assurance, now, from the publishers, that
volume, which has been anticipated by oar citizens
for a long lime, will soon be oat. We have seen
circulars sent out by J. B. Lippincott & Co., an
nouncing its publication early in January. From
the table of contents, wo Judge that the work will
be a most interesting volume and unique of its
character.
Mr. Boykin, the editor, has divided his volume
under appropriate headings: 1. A lengthy Bio
graphical Sketch, by Gen. Wm. M. Browne; 2.
Death; 3. Lamentation; 4. The Grave; 5. Honors;
6. Friendship’s Offerings. We notice articles from
many of onr first citizens, and addresses made by
several distinguished men. It will be a splendid
volume of 300 pages, printed on beautiful paper and
illustrated with two steel engravings. Price: gilt
top, §3; half Turkey marble edge, 8460; English
Turkey, gilt, $6. ~
Persons desiring to subscribe for the work may
address S. Boykin, Macon, Georgia.
Yesterday was one of the busiest days we have
seen in Macon for many months. The streets were
literally blocked np with all manner of wheeled con
veyances, and the side-walks thronged with visitors
and yeomanry from the surrounding country. It
looked very like the old ante helium days, immedi
ately proceeding Christmas, when the planter and a
squad of his servants camo to town to get their
Christmas gifts, groceries, etc., to take home and
enjoy during the holidays, when all work was
thrown aside and the plantation was resonant with
songs, jigs andoldYirgtnny breakdowns. Ah, those
were good old days; but as good, if not better, are
in store for ns, if we could only be left alone by
political intermeddlera, plunderers and public rob
bers, to workout our own destiny. But, while peace
and prosperity is smiling upon our people, and the
soil is yielding its fruits to the husbandman, we see
men in power cruelly, if not infamously, seeking to
build themselves np by dragging the people down.
Huckster's Stands.—From the great number of
these institutions which have lately sprung up in
tbe city, we infer that the proprietors are driving a
lucrative business. We notice a new one just
erected at the corner of Third and Cherry streets,
which amounts to the dignity of a shanty, and
apqrts a fire-proof roof. As it now stands, we fear
that it will keep the sidewalk blocked np at that
point, as it faceB on the pavement, and if it is seen
that it will produce the evil named, we suggest that
it be turned completely around, so as to face the
street. This will throw the crowed, likely to as
semble around it, off tbe pavement, and thus keep
the way open.
That’s Zoe.—Those who wero present at Ralston's
Hall last night (and there was a large crowd) will
agree that the performances were most extraordi
nary, to say the least of them. With one or two
exceptions, they were little else than “hair breadth
’scapes” and “thrilling adventures.” The trapeze
performance of Lila and Zoo was thrilling, and the
audience witnessed it with breathless anxiety and
interest until it was seen that both were safe, and
then it shook the very building with applause and
shouts. The juggling, feats of agility and contor
tion acts by several members of the company were
all wonderful, while the tight-rope performance of
Mad. Codona was beautiful and graceful. This is
one of the showa that one must visit to properly ap
preciate ; for there was much done that it would
take a column of this paper to describe.
Mayor’s Court.—The Mayor had three drunks, a
fight and a fast drive on his docket yesterday morn
ing, which he disposed of in this maimer:
Ewell Webb, fast driving, fined S10. “Korrect."
Freeland Griff and Mollie Hollis, fighting, fined
Mollie 815 or 30 in the guard-house on bread and
water. She paid the fine and—slid.
Three nice young men from the country, who had
taken a little Christmas the day before, mixed with
a “little somethin’,” were fined 85 each for taking
time by tbe forelock. They should have waited
until the holidays opened, or at least until they got
out of town.
Holiday Presents at Auction.—“Unde Bob”
Clayton, comer Cherry street and Cotton Avenue,
is in receipt of a full line of elegant fancy goods,
suitable for Christmas presents, consisting of la
dies’ reticules, albums, toilet cases, work boxeB,
dolls, writing desks and many other new and beau
tiful articles suitable for the holidays. And the
good of it is, ho will supply you at your own price.
His store is to be the headquarters of old Santa
Claus this Christmas, and be is going to be the auc
tioneer for tho festive old gent, and if everybody
don't get a Cliristnms gift, it will be because they
fail to call on “Uncle Bob.”
Eobinsos’s Circus.—We had a call yesterday
from Colonel John A. Wood, an avant Courier of
“Old John” Robinson’s circus, who informed us
that tho big show would be hero on Monday next,
dead sure, and that it is the largest establishment
of the kind that ever traveled on wheels. There
are over two hundred men and 180 horses connected
with this concern, and tho performing portion of it
is mado np of tho best material in tho worlA We
guarantee “old John” some of the largest crowds
ho has had during his present campaign.
Strangers.—Not since tho State Fair have we
noticed in the city so many strangers as are now to
bo met with at tho hotels and on tho streets. As a
general thing they aro well dressed and appear to
bo polished gentlomen. Wo might add that they
pass about tho streets unmolested and in no fear of
being kn-kluxod. Indeed, we have seen gentlomen
from the North moving among us with so much im
punity for the last year or two, that we begin to
think the ku-Ulnx are a myth, and those only dread
them who feel at heart that they ought to be “kilt.”
Just Received.—Messrs. Havens & Brown have
just received at their News Depot, No. 46 Second
street, the following late newspapers and periodi-
cals • . i /.
Harper’s Bazar, Literary Album, Galaxy for Jan-
uaiy, Leslie’s Magazine for January, Atlantic Month
ly for January, Eclectic Monthly for January, Die
Modenwolt far January, Harper’s Magazine for J an-
uary, Mayno Reid’s Onward for January. Catholic
World, Every Saturday, for December, World of
Fashion for December, Le Beau Monde, for Decem
ber.
t.tt a and Zoe.—Another large audience attended
the wonderful performances at Ralston’s Hall last
night, by those two young ladies and other mem
bers of the troupe to which they belong. !Die per
formances were about tho same as on the night be
fore, but appeared to be given with more vim and
spirit. Every feature of the exhibition is wonder
ful, and some of them exceedingly perilous to the
performers and thrilling to the audience.
The company gives another exhibition to-night,
and thoBe who would witnoss some of tho most
daring and thrilling acts, and yet the most beauti
ful and graceful they over saw in Macon, should not
fail to attend.
The New Bbidge.—Three of tho brick pillars on
which the bridge of the Macon and Augusta railroad
is to rest, and which wifi span the river about one
mile below the city, are completed, and work on the
fourth is under headway, and will be completed in a
short while. Most of the timbers for tho bridge are
on tho ground, and so soon as the pillars are readyi
tho woodwork will immediately commence. The
grading of this read between Macon and Mffiedge-
ville is pushing along with commendable alacrity,
and soon, if not already, the work of putting down
the track will begin.
Masquerade Ball.—We understand that there is
to bo a grand Masquerade Ball in this city, on Thurs
day evening, 5th of January next It has been ap
pointed for that evening in order to give tho ladies
and gentlemen who will attend, ample time to pre
pare their costumes and study the characters they
may cboose to assume. The gentlemen engineer-
ins tho affair propose to make it ope of thsmost
brilliant of the kind ever witnessed in Macon, and
wo doubt not such it wfil prove to be.
The New Engine House.—The new engine house
of Mechanics’ Fire Company No. 4, at the junction
of Arch and Oglethorpe streets, near the Findlay
foundrv, is rapidly approaching completion, and
when finished it wfil beono of tho most handsome
and conveniently arranged houses of thekmdinthe
citv, and worthy to be the headquarters of the gal-
Tant and highly efficient body of men for whom it
has been built. )(|
Advent.—During the last two or three days the
ladies of the two Episcopal Churohes of this city
l£ve very beautifully decorated themforthe Advent
Season.
Nearly a Fir* About two o’clock yesterday
morning, the lower back porch to the Flint House
was discovered to be on fire. It was caused by a
box of hot ashes and live coals of fire being placed
on the ground against one of tbe poets supporting
the porch. The fire had burned through' the box
and communicated with tho post, and when discov
ered the post and porch were burning rapidly. A
few backets of water extinguished the fire, but if
it had had another minute to bum the building
could scarcely have been saved.
The Court House.—Perhaps no county In the
State of Georgia save this alone, can be accused of
having no place wherein to administer justice. Cer
tainly not one with anything like the prosperity
which has fallen to the lot of Bibb. Why is it that
we are without a Court-house, with no visible steps
being taken to erect one ? Over a year ago the
Jnsticea of the Inferior Court sold the grounds and
building where, for many years past, our Superior
Courts had been held. While many foaesaw the
trouble and inconvenience which such a step would
surely work, yet many were wilfing that the sale
should be effected because the building was old, in
convenient, and 31-adapted generally to the pur
pose for which it was used. Some time after—about
the month of March last—a bill passed by the Gen
eral Assembly, authorized the Ordmary of this
County to order an election for the County Com
missioners, whose duties are defined in the bill; and
important among these duties is the erection of the
Court-house so much needed. The election was
held on the third day of last April. The candidates
were not a few, and after intense excitement rad
much electioneering, the successful parties were de
clared elected. Since then the excitement has died,
and it seems that the interest which was manifested
in favor of the Conrt-house also died with it. It
appears also, that in the absence of external pres
sure from some quarter it will not soon be revived.
Now, the object of the citizens of this county was
to elect such Commissioners aB would soon supply
the great want under which the county was labor
ing. Nearly a year has passed, and wo can see
nothing which has been effected. It is true the
Commis8ienere advertised for proposals to bnfid—
rad we are informod that a plan has been accepted—
but that is not pushing the great work forward. It
Is a work of momentous importance, and cannot
soon be completed. If it is not soon commencod
can any one reasonably expect an early completion ?
Most certainly not. In tho meantime what are we
to do? Shall we do as we aro now doing? Shall
we fall back upon the city of Macon for three or
four months in every yearfor aplace to hold court?
This should not be. Already has the County car
ried this imposition too far. The city guard-house
has for several years been used for the county jail;
and now the City Hall, which is so often in demand
for different purposes, answers for the County
Court-house. Only a fow days since wo had an in
stance of a conflict which may in all probability of
ten occur. The Methodist (colored) Conference
was holding its session in the City Hal], when an
adjourned term of the Superior Court for the pur
pose of hearing motions, etc., was to be held at the
same place. The consequence was that the Honor
able Superior Court had to meet below in the Coun
cil Chamber. This evil should bo remedied, rad
that soon. A year will soon have passed since the
law was enacted to provide for this great want, and
it is to be hoped that those entrusted with this
great charge will use all the energy in their power
to supply the want, thereby showing their apprecia
tion of the confidence which the people have re
posed in them.
Mayor’s Court.—Business in this Court, as the
holidays approach, grows more active, if not more
interesting. Yesterday morning it was both. The
first case called by the Mayor was against a
festive young man from one of the lower counties
rad a nymph dupave, hailing from New York, for
drunkness rad disorderly conduct on Third street
the night before. Awhile after 9 o’clock, officers
Cooper, Kent and Pullen heard a revelry np the
street, and hurrying to the point from whence the
discordant sounds proceeded, they fonnd Lee and
Emma carrying on their antics with a recklessness
that disdained official interference and made the
qniet passers-by look on aghast. Without consulta
tion or hesitation the three officials “went in,” and
in lees time than we have taken to tell it, had the
festive pair safely ensconced in the guard-house,
where they remained until they were taken before
the Mayor. They wero fined $10 each, which the
gay lothario planked down as if he had a million
and considered it an honor to cash any bill that
would help a woman out of trouble. He remarked
as he left the court-room that henceforth he was
done with Macon. It is to he hoped that he is, un
less he concludes to behave himself when in the
city.
The next case called was against one John Byron,
for vagrancy. He was ordered to leave town forth
with.
A case of disorderly conduct against a white
woman was dismissed, and a similar case agAinst a
ncgroBS, which was of an aggravated nature, cost
her 810, and the court adjourned.
Works or Art.—We aro glad to see the growing
taste for fine, large portraits, which many of our
people now have the means to gratify. Mr. J. A
Pugh, whose large collection at tho Fair attracted
so much attention, has had all hands busy ever
since finishing pictures of all descriptions to fill or
ders he received then, and since. Wo noticed this
collection at the time, which embraced many lifc-
si:e and life-like portraits of representative men,
some of whom aro no longer amongst us; and
these splendid portraits were taken from their am-
brotypes since their decease. Some of the por
traits which this artist has just finished deserve
more than a passing notice; two in particular,
which are of an unusual largo size, rad of a gentle
man and wife who are well known to many of our cit
izens. We dropped into the gallery late last even
ing and feel that we were well repaid for doing so;
for in addition to seeing theso fine pictnreB, of
which wo shall have more to say at another time,
wo were just in time to see several others which
were then being packed to Bhip to tho parties who
ordered them. Two of these were life-size por
traits of Dr. Ethridge, of Eatonton; one in oil,
when much younger, rad one as he appears now,
and we think as fine a likeness as we have ever seen.
Another was a life-size copy of a lady from an old
broken ambrotypo, and a fine copy it is, too. It
goes to Laurence county for Dr. John A. Vigal,
who is continually adding to his collection of family
portraits. We noticed, also, another pair of beau
tifully colored portraits of W. D. Jones and wife,
which, for fine finish, aro rarely equaled.
A Stork.—We learn that the storm which passed
over this section Tuesday night was much more vio
lent in the vicinity of Forsyth than at this point.
Near that city, a Mr. Tomer had tho roof of his
dwelling blown off and carried some distance from
the house. Fences were blown down and trees up
rooted. Awhile before day, yesterday morning, the
peals of thunder jarred this city and the lightning
waa very vivid.
Colds and Coughs.—Sudden changes of climate
are sources of Pulmonarg and Bronchial affec
tions. Experience having proved that simple rem
edies act speedily when taken in the early stage of
disease, take at once “Brown's Bronchial Troches,^
let the cold, cough or irritation of the throat be ever
so slight, as by this precaution a more serious at
tack may be warded off.
Freight on Cotton.—In publishing the freight
tariff on cotton from Macon to Savannah and other
points, yesterday, wo put the price 6 cents per 100
pounds too high between Macon and Savannah rad
Macon rad Brunswick. It is 50 cents per 100 lbs.
instead of 65. ...
Stolen.—Mr. E. J. Coates, of Irwinton, offers a
reward for a mare which was stolen from him on
Tuesday night last. Please loavo information with
the local editor of this paper, should the animal bo
recovered in this city.
Hurt. One of the hands employed at Harde
man & Sparks’ Warehouse yesterday, named Na
than, bad a bag of cotton to roll on one of his legs,
which fractured it a little alxmt the knee. He will
limp for tbe next week or two, and besides, the ac
cident has spoiled his Christmas. Sorry for you,
Nathan.
Cold.—The weather turned suddenly cold on
Wednesday night in this section', and yesterday we
had a spanking breeze all day, which brought out
the overcoats and f urain a hurry. -
For the Hack.—Calls for the hack of Wm. Jack-
son can be left at Dense’s Hotel, and will receive
prompt attention.
Wealth.—One great cause of the poverty of the
present day is the failure of the common people to
appreciate small things. They feel that if they
cannot save large sums they will not save anything.
They do not realize how a daily addition, be it ever
so small, will soon make a large pile. If the young
men rad young women of to-day will only begin,
rad begin now, to save a little of their earnings,
rad plant it in the soil of some good savings bank,
rad weekly or monthly add their mite, they will
wear a happy smile of confidence and independence
when they reach middleof life. Not only thepileitself
will increase, bnt the desire and ability to increase
it will also grow. Let clerks and tradesmen, laborer
and artisan make now and at once a beginning.—
Store up some of your youthful force rad vigor for
future contingency. Let parents teach their chil
dren to begin early to save. Begin at the fountain
head to control the system of extravagance, and
then work will be easy. To choose between spend
ing and saving is to choose between poverty rad
riches. Let your youth go on in habits of extrava
gance for fifty years to come, as they have for fifty
yerrs past, and we shall be a nation of beggars with
a moneyed aristocracy. Let a generation such as
save in small smns be reared, and we shall bo free
from want. Do not be ambitions for extrava
gant fortunes, but do not seek that which is the
duty of every one to obtain—independence and a
comfortable home. Wealth and enongh is within
the reach of all. It is obtainable by one process
and by one only—saving.
Christmas.—The hurried flight of another year,
sweeping by on its wing of shadows, has once more
ushered in this ever welcome anniversary; this
joyous carnival of fun, frolic rad festivity.
To Umbo who have already borne the fierce brunt
4>f life’s cares and sorrows, the happy scenes now
recurring around them are a most pleasing remind
er of the happy days of childhood. No one, now,
should willingly cast a shadow upon tho general
mirthfolness, or unduly restrain the madcap freaks
rad proneness to mischief and frolic on the part of
the “boys;” for, with no shadow of coming evil in
the dusk rad awful future to daunt them, it is hut
natural that they should, upon this happy occasion,
claim at our hands an unusual degree of indulgence.
Wo must be allowed, then, to put in this plea for
the lovers of fun, both old and young. Yes,
“Let joybeunconnnea;
No sleep till morn when youth and pleasure meet."-
It matters not, then, for a short while, if the very
air becomes sulphnrious with the villainous smell
of sky-rockets, Roman candles, fire crackers, torpe
does, and every other conceivable missile that in
genuity could invent or “Young America” set fire
to. We were all boys at an early period in our ex
istence. Christmas, unfortunately, occurs only
once in threo hundred and sixty-five days, and we
do insist that this Christmas, coming upon the
cIobo of the eventful year ’69, shall be essentially
glorious, gleeful, unrestrained and happy, as mirth-
loving childhood, or healthful manhood, can make
it. So, if it should absolutely rain fire crackers
through the holidays, we shall only exclaim in the
language of old King Lear, “pour on, we shall en
dure.”
Attempt to Commit Suicide.—A negro man
named Joe Tripp, under the influence of liquor,
attempted to commit suicide about 1 o'clock, p. m.,
yesterday, in the blacksmith and wagon shop of B.
T. English, on Burke’s alley. He was handling a
pistol in a careless manner, and one of the hands
told him to put it up—that he might shoot some
one, and would regret it when he got sober. He re
plied: “I don’t intend to shoot any one bntmy-
self,” and with the word he placed the muzzle of
the pistol under his chin and fired—the ball entering
his neck near the wind-pipe, and ranging upwards
rad sideways passed out a little below and behind
the right ear—inflicting a very dangerous, if not
mortal, wound.
The employes in the shop attribute the act alto
gether to whisky; but Joe told the attending phy
sician that his wife was the 'cause of his rash act;
Joe is well known in the city, and was employed as
a wagon-maker in English’s shop.
Splendid Instruments.—Parents who would pre
sent their daughters with a Christmas gift—both
lasting and ornamental, and one which would be a
source of continual pleasure and delight in the
family, should call at Burke, Guilford & Co.’s Mu
sic Store, on Mulberry street, and select one of their
splendid pianos or organs, which they are selling at
manufacturer’s prices. Or, would not one of their
organs be an elegant, appropriate and valuable
Christmas present to some lady who is the leader of
a Church choir, rad who wishes every day of her
life she had such an instrument to practice upon
during the week and prepare herself and choir for
divine service on Sunday. Such a gift would bless
the giver and receiver.
In addition to these splendidinatruments parents
will find at Burke, Guilford A Co.’s a fine assort
ment of Christmas toys for little boys and girls, and
a great variety of musical instruments of every kind.
They assure ns that for the next ten days all arti
cles will be offered at cost, and their word is as good
as gold for what they say.
In conversation yesterday with a gentleman who
left Louisville, Ky., on Wednesday morning last,
he informed us that he left Bnow on the ground in
that’eity about 6 inches deep. He informed us also
that the money market there was extremely
tight, on account of the large sums the hog-drovers
pocket and carry away. The pork-packing estab-
liskmentsofthecityare now in active operation,
and it requires vast sums of money to keep them
going. He said the people of Louisville, as a gen
eral thing, are quite as indignant about the way
Congress is treating Georgia as Georgians them
selves.
Coal,—If the parties who are responsible for the
scarcity of coal in Macon knew how our citizens aro
suffering this cold weather, we believe they would
take immediate steps to send down a supply from
tho mines. The complaints yesterday were loud
and doop from those who aro out of coal, as there
waa not a bushel for sale in town at ray price. We
appeal to the coal dealers and masters of transpor
tation to give this subject immediate attention rad
afford our people relief if possible.
Something Nice.—Christmas will soon be here
and you want something good to drink. J. H. Zei-
lid & Co., next to Mix & Kirtlrad’s have on hand a
largo supply of fancy liquors, such as Bourbon
Cocktail, Brandy Cocktail, Gin Cocktail, Ginger
Brandy, London Cordial, Gin, St Domingo Wine,
Messina Punch, Jamacia Bum, etc., which they are
selling off at less than cost. Give them a call.
Important Questions Answered.—Who has the
most recherche and beautiful presents for the holi
days? Why, J. W. Burke Co., No. 60, Second street,
of course. What are they? Why, their magnifi
cent selection of imported chromos and engravings,
which aro selling at such low prices. See Burke &
Co.’s advertisement in another column.
Guano.—Messrs. Lawton & Lawton, Fourth
street, are the agents in this city for the sale of
“Menyman’s Bawbone Superphosphate,” manufac
tured in Baltimore, Md. As to its virtues as a fer
tilizer, they are beyond all question, rad the article
is acknowledged to be excellent by all who have
tested it. Refer to the advertisement.
Collision.—A freight and passenger train on the
Southwestern railroad collided on Tuesday morning
last, just beyond station 1}£, by which the noses
and headlights of both engines got smashed. No
body hurt. We did not learn the cause of the col
lision.
Booming.—The Ocmulgee river has risen at this
point, since the heavy rain of Tuesday night, seven
teen feet. It is out of the hanks in many places be
low the city, and the work on one of the pillars for
the new bridge has been suspended on account of
the high water.
Activity.—Thera waa a tremendous jam on the
streets yesterday of wagons, bnggies and other ve
hicles, and people of all ages, colors rad condition.
The indications are that we shall have a lively and
jubilant Christmas. .
Thebe was a great bustle yesterday among fancy
goods rad book traders. Indulgent papas were
bled profusely and ambitions lovern bled themselves
in a fearful manner. Gifts will be all the go to
day ; a direction that the contents of many a purse
will take. ; ■ .... • >• • -v - • •
Do you want fine Silver Plated Ware ? Go to B.

Presbyterian Festival.—We were surprised to
see tbe artistic display at Ayers' Hall, by the ladies
of the Presbyterian Church, gotten up in a short
time, for the benefit of their Mission Sunday SehooL
The tables and trees are groaning with articles of
every description .of use and beauty, besides .re
freshments in profusion. We understand no raf
fling nor extortion will bo allowed, and we trust the
ladies will be amply repaid for their labor. They
certainty can promise all an enjoyable evening.
Heavy Bain.—The heaviest rain of the season
fell in this section between midnight and day yes
terday morning. In consequence, the streets yes
terday were very like much of the literature of the
day—sloppy.
IN MEMOBIAM.
In the very morning of his young existence, and
as the roseate joys of hope had but bloomed upon
his cheek, passed , away from earth all that waa
mortal of Wilbur Fisk Mason.
Though'the pen be feeble that traces these lines,
and while I would the task had been to abler hands
assigned to transmit a fitting epitaph, yet I shall
not shrink from a duty I owe the hallowed dead.
Under my immediate command for two long and
weary years of war, did the subject of this notioe,
under circumstances which pslsied the nerves of
stouter arms than his, unfalteringly endue every
hardship, privation and suffering, for the proud
land that has furnished the world a history of un
paralleled heroism, and which now, in her funeral
robes, stands sentinel over the graves of her pa
triot dead.
’Twas not in poor “Doc” Mason to degrade his
jacket of gray; and conspicuously brave as he ap
peared on the crimson field of Manassas, dealing
death from his trusty weapon as % private soldier,
his oourage became a part of history when he drew,
as an officer, his sword -in the Land of Flowers.
Not for his heroism alone, but for his kindness to
the writer when suffering from wounds, and for his
many noble traits of character, will his memory
ever he held in dear remembrance. As a son, he
was ever dutiful, and as a brother, always kind and
affectionate.
Respected and admired by all who knew him;
with a life full of promise, we are forced to pause
and wonder at the inscrutable acts of that Great
Divinity who doeth all things well.
Those hearts bereft of one they loved so well,
will keep, with Uioir tears, green the sod above
“Doc” Mason’s grave. L. M. L.

your Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, rad com
menced taking it. I found that I began to improve—
mv cough became less severe—the soreness of my
lungs and breast gradually subsided—my rheumatio
pains less acute. 1 attribute this mainly to your Sar
saparilla. I have now been taking it for over two
months; have taken in all five bottles. Its effects
have been most satisfactory to me. and I ad visa others
similarly afflicted to give you a trial.
