Liostnino Exi-bess.—Tho mails between this
flint and Atlanta are just now running on a
chtning express schedule. Papers published
here one morning get here the next morning,
I sometimes in the afternoon. Now that the
Agency has ‘ broke,” we suppose the At-
anta past-master can spare some little time to
ns official duties.
Wo never, in all our life, knew so much com-
t about the mails. It is universal. From
Lyery quarter the chorus of denunciation rises
I deepens. As men cannot run the Radical
L'ty and the post-office, too, at the same time,
b( suppose it is unreasonable to expect any
for the better.

A Cuiil Snap.
Via write at half-past four o'clock Friday
WS'flg. A fierce Northwest wind has been
lowing for at least sixteen boars, strong enough
take the hair off yonrheed, if it is very loose,
id to make every door and shutter bang, and
try window clatter, where there is the slight-
t oppoitnnity for such a performance. Where
there is nono, Old Boreas takes it out in spite-
ol bowlings and spittings and zippings. He
insinuates himself in every crevice of your win-
ow-franto and the loose papers flatter and fillip
the cold blast.
The wind, as it now blows, strikes me in the
laphragm, penetrates the thorax and coagulates
the lymphatic muscles of my gizzard. In vain
io I clamor for more wood and listen to the
empty roar of the stove between the bowlings
of the blast outside. My den was not bnilt for
weather like this, and the Frost King laughs at
the puny efforts of the stove.
Old Fahrenheit indicates at this moment 30.30
plus, and sinking rapidly. Before sun rise to
morrow morning he will be down to eighteen,
ike enough, and then, oh, where will be tho
garden vegetables, and where the fruits.
Gentlemen, it is useless to lament tho fact,
mt our peaches have gone “ where tho wood-
line twineth.” Onr English peas are a case—
hat is to say, we fear it, after a ghastly fashion.
The peas could stand it, in ordinary; but they
h»Te been pushed into rapid growth by weath-
“ at 55 or GO, and they are in bad condi
tion to encounter this snap. We shall have the
coldest night we have had this whole winter,
and by to-morrow or next day shall hear of aw
ful times on tho prairies of the Northwest—
weather that freezes a man’s whiskers and snaps
tie nails in the heels of his boots.

The Chronicle and Sentinel has a dispatch
from Washington, dated the lGth, with refer
ence to the investigation as to the sale of cadet
ships by Southern carpet-bag and scallawag
members of Congress, which says that the proof
i* conclusive against Whittemore, of Sooth
Carolina, and Edwards, of Georgia.
The committee is of the opinion that not six
of the appointments are legitimate.
Information is wanted as to the residence,
names of appointees, and bargains made. The
People of the different Congressional Distjicts
expected to supply the required evidence.
Who are appointed from the First and Fifth
Congressional Districts of Georgia ?
An Atlanta man dreamed that he went to
deep and slept fifty years, and on waking, found
a mule elected to Congress from Georgia. As
there is already a Beast in Congress, the dream
was cot strange.
Nor very strange, considering the number of
donkies there already. That dreamer cannot
claim an advanced position.
The World calls the Agency the Georgia Bay
onet Legislature.
The experiment of mixing negroes and whites
in the public schools of Louisiana was tried
Monday in Algiers opposite New Orleans. The
result was the withdrawal of all the white
scholars, leaving the blacks to “go it alone.”
A Compliment.—Just before leaving Boston,
Prince Arthur sent to Miss Minnie ShermaD,
daughter of Gen. Sherman, a chaste and costly
gold medallion, having his likeness on one side
and that of Queen Victoria on the other. Ac
companying the gift was a delicately worded
Dole, in which the Prince begged that Miss Sher-
min would accept of the medallion as a token
cf his appreciation of the generons hospitalities
ke had experienced at the house of her father,
Dnd as a slight tribute to the beaniy of American
Womon, of which she was so striking an ex
ponent.
Miss Sherman is the young lady who, at the
Prince’s ball in Washington, upon referring to
her card and finding herself engaged for the
danoe requested by the Prince, politely told
him so, and left him to hunt another partner.
As she waa the only unmarried lady he asked
to danoe daring the evening, her independence
*ai th 8 mote refreshing.
Pits la beUt Minnie! Hay she find a hus
band who can fully appreciate, in this age of
•Debs, and in that region of shoddy and parve-
rrae vulgarity, such indifference to royalty’s
Attention.
From Washington.
Special to the Telegraph and Messenger:
Washington, February 1G.— It is believed
here that the election of Blodgett & Co., yes
terday, upset the pot. General ferry tele
graphed to Atlanta, Sunday, warning the crowd
not to elect Blodgett or any third or fourth rate
men, on pain of a reaction in favor of Hill and
Miller. The Senate was getting tired of the
kind of material which crept into that body
from the reconstructed States. It is believed
the failure of the Radicals to heed this warning
insures the admission of Hill and Miller. Their
friends are jubilant, and the ultra Radical sore.
B.
We find the abovo special published in the
Macon Telegraph, of yesterday. It is the same
old song.
After the “simple Simon” Democrats as
serted and reasserted that tho President and
General Sherman had decided that Hill and
Miller were to be admitted to seats in the United
States Senate, until these high officials were
constrained to announce the fact that it was a
question upon which tho Senate had sole juris
diction, they now begin to claim General Terry
as one who proposes to decide the Senatorial
question.
Well! wo do pity our benighted, befogged
and defeated political opponents. Many, very
many clever gentlemen are, by the. force of
circumstances, compelled to endure the odium
of Bryant and Bradley, but they have onr sym
pathy.—Atlanta Era, 18<A ,
Wo notice you don’t deny that Terry sent the
dispatch, though. That’s the point. We assert
he did. If you want to know more about it, we
will refer you to the man who received it. We
have a very sharp correspondent at Washington.
He beats a flea in ubiquity, and an ear-wig in
powers of insinuation where nows is to be had.
The “odium of Bradley,” eh? After having
hugged, and kissed, and honored that odium,
you wish to get rid of it, now that its vote is of
no farther consequence. The next move, we
suppose, is Bradley's expuslon from the Senate,
and all because Bradley thought that as his col
or furnished all the votes, and a great share of
the respectability of the party, they should have
some of its honors. And . that’s the way the
Ree-pnb-lo-kin party loves “loyalty” with a
black skin.
Situations lVautcd in Georgia.
Letters continue to pour in upon us from
people who want situations. Numbers jester-
day, of which the following is one :
Chicago, February 15, 1870.
Editor Maeon Telegraph—Deab Sib : I no
tice yon are credited with saying to those seek
ing employment, “If you want situations, here
they are by the thousands.” This, no donbt,
has attracted the attention of many of our
Northern boys as well as it has my own, as at
present we labor under the disadvantages of a
large surplus of help of all classes for the trade
of the country, and many of onr best men are
seeking situations, and those who are fortunate
enough to secure one are working at low rates,
with the hope of better times by and by.
With this state of things, tho eyes of many
have been tnrned upon your section of the
country, but tho large majority are prevented
from leaving the North on account of tho many
conflicting reports we get of your Southern
affairs, both os regards business openings and
situations, as well as thb state of society. I
think if their true state was known a large num
ber of young men who wish to locate perma
nently somewhere would go there at once. Men
who would go with the determination of inden-
tifying themselves with tho common interests
of the country, and to help bnild up its institu
tions, and for whose welfare they would devote
their entire energies.
In view of these facts, will you please state,
as far as is convenient with your time, what is
the true situation of affairs, and what is the
prospect for men seeking situations in the com
mercial line, and oblige, yours respectfully.
To which wo have to reply that situations in
the commercial line in Georgia are as unprom
ising as anything we know of in this mundane
sphere. But if any young man is willing to
work he can certainly make a fortune raising
cotton; and this is the only situation in Georgia.
The Cobb Memorial.
The following short letter from a highly edu
cated gentleman and friend of Gen. Cobb, ex
hibits the writer's estimate of the Cobb Memo
rial, published by Mr. Boykin. Wo publish the
letter in order to give our readers some idea of
tho impression created by the memorial volume
of Gen. Cobb on a cultivated mind:
Februakt 15th, 1870.
Ret. 8. Boykin—Deab Sib':—I have read
your memorial of Gen. Cobb with great pleas
ure. You are entitled to the thanks of the nu
merous friends of this distinguished gentleman.
This book is a tribute of the heart of our State
to one of the most eminent and the best beloved
of her great men. Georgia bns shown herself
to be proud o'f her son. She cannot be charged
with ingratitude. Such demonstrations of re
spect and affection as this volume exhibits, have
no parallel in the past.
Upon the announcement of General Cobb’s
death, the Pulpit, the Bar, tho University, the
Literary Societies, municipal corporations, and
individuals, irrespective of past or present po
litical affiliations, spontaneously rise up to do
him honor. These tokens are not the mere
routine of funeral service. The state of the
times deny to them the least element of policy.
They originated in gratitude, respect and affec
tion. If any one is desirous ef seeing the char
acter of Howell Cobb, as patriot, lawyer, ora
tor, philanthropist, parent, husband, friend and
Christian, portrayed in colors of living light, he
has but to read your book. It ought to be
taken and held as an heir-loom. It ought to bo,
and I have no doubt will be, found upon the
centre tables of generations to come. There is
one respect in which I must believe it will be
come exceedingly useful. In this, that it ex
hibits such a beautiful and attractive model for
the instruction of the young. Upon tho basis
of Cobb’s character, the children and youth of
Georgia may safely build their own characters.
They cannot fail to see in him genius, eloquence
and distinction, blended in graceful harmony
with the domestic and social virtues, and all
crowned with piety. General Brown’s sketch of
bis life is well written and appropriate to the
end you had in view, which was not a biogra
phy so zunch as a record of the testimonials of
the people. I was very favorably impressed
with the response of Chief Justice Brown, to
the report of the committee before the Supreme
Court. It was just, dignified and magnani
mous. The photographs are perfectly life-like.
Allow me to add that your part of the work, in
collecting and arranging the materials with ex
planatory remarks and binding the divisions
together with appropriate poetio quotations, is
well done. These quotations are like occasional
links of gold in a chain of silver. Being my
self an attached friend of the deceased, I sin
cerely thank yon for your labor of love.
Respectfully, etc., eto., •
Ice Machines.—The Southern Guardian in
an article on this subject says:
The German machines are probably the
cheapest. Americans charge so high for pat
ent privilege, that the machine, with privilege,
is very expensive. A German honse—Vass <fc
Littman. of Halle a S., in Prussia—advertise
ice machines at the folowing prices A machine
turning out fifty pounds of ice an honr, at
$1,500 in greenbacks; one taming out 100
pounds an hour, $2,700 ; 200 pounds, $4,000 ?
400 pounds, $G,000; 1,000 pounds, $9,000.
They furnish chemicals—liquid ammonia is the
principal—with each machine sufficient to work
the ro^hinn for years. The machines that*
turn ont 50, 100 and 200 pounds an honr are
worked by hand, requiring no steam; bnt those
of greater capacity—500 and 1,000 pounds an
honr—require small steam engines, the former
one of one-horse power, and the latter one of
three-horsepower. ■ ,
By these machines ice can be manufactured
at a cost of nine cents per one hundred pounds.

ALABAMA LEGISLATURE.
Montgomery, February 17.—Bath houses have

uproot tho present municipal government of Mo
bile. Harrington, tha newly appointod Mayor, calls
for soldiers, and the Governor persistently refuses
to send them. v
The Senate bill to extend State aid to the amount
of $16,000 a mile to all railroads in the State and
to allow the benefits of tho act to be continued un
til November, 1871, will pass tho House to-morrow.
Mr. J. C. Stanton, Superintendent of tho Alabama
and Chattanooga Railroad is here, having returned
from a visit to Northern and Middle Alabama and
Mississippi. Advices from those sections represent
that the people are enthusiastic for tho completion
of the road. Tho prejudice against the bill endor
sing the bonds of the company to tho amount of
$2,000,000 is greatly dispelled, particularly as the
State is endorsing bonds of older companies without
any personal security whatever. Tho Alabama and
Chattanooga Bailroad, when completed, will ho of
incalculable benefit to the whole of Alabama, as
well as Georgia and Mississippi, and tho country
generally. It is a matter of some wonderment that
leading bankers and attorneys of this Stale were
strong advocates of tha Stanton hill. There are
many wild railroad schemes in hand which will no
doubt be defeated.

ticles offered, and we are confident that in an or
dinary season, to use tho language of Mr. David
Dickerson, can never fail. In presenting onr AM.
MONIATED to the planter, we but give tho cone-
bination in a form ready for immediate use, thur
saving the cost and trouble of manipulation and
securing uniformity in quality.
The practical results obtained from the articles
shipped by us, prove them to be superior to all
,others, and in a trade extending throngh every
portion of the cotton growing regions, and, during
the past five years, consuming thousands of toni,
wo are yet to hear of the first complaint
In our manufacture we discard all mineral phos
phates, and rely entirely upon
BOOST IE!,
made readily soluble by the use of Sulphuric Acid
The Ammonia is supplied from the next valuable
source to Peruvian Guano, and in sufficient quan
tities to give the plant a vigorous and healthy
growth, tho soluble bone sustaining it throughout
the season.
We have no hesitation in placing this article
against any manufacture or combination known,
and will refund every dollar spent in its purchase
in case it does not give satisfaction.
For the character and purity of the articles* rip
ped by us we refer to the prominent names ap
pended, they being a few of those who obtain their
supplies from us. 5

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of tho Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in tho whole history of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long
series of years, and among most of the races or
men it lias risen higher and higher in their estima
tion, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to euro the varions affections
of the lungs and throat, have mado it known as a re
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children, it 13
at the same time the most effectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and tho dan
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As a pro
vision against sudden attacks of Croup, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
arc sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should bo provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable, still great numbers of cases whero the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and tho patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry l’crtoral. So complete is Us mastery
over tho disorders of tho Lungs and Throat, that
tho most obstinate of them yield to it. When noth
ing else could roach them, under the Cherry Pec
toral they subsldo and disappear.
Singers and Publio Speakers find great pro
tection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally aro its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, or do more
than assuro the publio that ita qualities are fully
maintained.
Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and
Chill Fever, m
Ague, Periodical
and indeed all thi _____
from malarious, marsh, or
poisons.
As its name implies, It does Core, and does not
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bismuth,
Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance
whatever, it in nowise injures any patient. The
number and importance or its cures in the ague dis
tricts, are literally beyond account, and weheilcve
without a parallel in the history of Ague medicine.
Our pride is gratified by the acknowledgments vre
receive of the radical cures effected in obstinate
eases, and where other remedies had wholly Ailed.
Unacclimated person*, either resident in, or
travelling throngh miasmatic localities, will be pro
tected by taking the AOUJB CUBE daily.
For JAver Complaints, arising from torpidity
For BiHons Disorders and Liver Complaints, It A
an excellent remedy, producing many truly re
markable cures, where other medicines had Ailed.
