Cnrpet-Bnjrsers—The Great Dead-Header— Mixing Colors in tlic District Schools— Forney Still Earning his money—Dis- gnsting Scenes at a Theatre-Miscellane ous Items. Washington, April 30, 1870. Editors Telegraph and Messenger : The carpet-bagger is a creature bom of the war—a worm which has grown and fattened up on the corpses of the slain—a species of vermin which eat their way into sacred places, and de vour the substance of the people. Here, at Washington,the carpet-baggers most do flourish. Hero their carpet-bags become distended with ill-gotten treasure 0 , filched from the government ment coffers, or more directly from the pockets of the tax payers. They sell cadetships, they become the willing tools of the lobby, (for a consideration), and they become stock-holders in various enterprises by the sacrifice of what is commonly called honor, bat of which these gentry know nothing. Some of .these carpet baggers assume to be conservative, fair in their dealings, honest in their conviction, and to over flow with kind feelings even the Southern people. These men are infinitely more dangerous, more iniquitous, than those of tho brazen face and lyiDg tongue. The former assume virtues they have not, the more easily to carry out schemes of personal gain. The latter are generally men of less ability, who presume upon their posi tions and their “loyalty,” to carry them through. Let the Southern people beware of carpet-bag gers. Some of them now in Congress are schem ing for re-election. They should receive the nold sholder from tho constituencies they now misrepresent, Carpet-baggers are at a discount even among the “truly loyal” members of Con gress. They should be a long way below par amoDg the people of the Sonth. It has been by their aid that the Southern people have been so greivonsly wronged. Their slanders have caused States to be reconstructed over and over again; and to be kept ont of the Union. Their false hoods and misrepresentations have prevented the President from sending to Congress a mes sage recommending general amnesty, which had been written and only needed his signature. I make no exception. The carpet-baggers in Con gress are all “tarred with the same brush,” and are to be shunned alike. Of course, I do not refer hero to men from other States who have made their, homes in the South, and become identified with her interests. I moan, simply, the carrion-crows from the North who swooped down upon the South at the close of the war to load themselves *with plunder. “Away down East" the juveniles sing: “ If I were President of tho United States, Td eat ’lasses candy and swing upon the gates.” Susbstitnte for ’lasses candy a cigar, and for a gate a fast-gaited horse, and you have our “ gifted President,” with the summit of his as pirations reached. The “cares of State" which engross him are the cares of superintend ing his stable, and his interest in State affairs extends no farther than the selection of an Ha vana cigar. Half of his time is spent in dead head trips about the country. He dead-bead3 over railroads and at hotels. At several of the watering places special arrangements have been made for his reception the coming season. At Long Branch a cottage has been erected for his accommodation. The bonifaces find their profit in this. Grant ‘-‘draws” in a watering place as a freshly caught gorilla does in a menagerie, or a learned pig in a country village. Tho President has already commenced his summer junketing. He has gone North to spend a day or two at West Point, and to look up a remarka bly fast trotter, whose owner wants a Cabinet position. We shall see little of him here until the fall; and yet we do not sorrow. In the Senate yesterday, Mr. Sumner intro duced a memorial from Downing, the colored caterer who keeps the restaurant under the Bouse of Representatives, and another negro, asking for equal rights for colored children in the common schools of the District of Colum bia. The inference to be drawn from this me morial is that colored children have no facilities for education here; that they have been wholly excladed from school privileges. Such is not the case, however. There are seperate schools for the colored children and a more than just proportion of the school fund is set apart for their maintenance. Yet the attempt has been made, and in some instances it has_ been suc cessful, to force colored children into white schools which were already full, and to which white children had been refused admission. This has resulted in the withdrawal of many of tho white pnuils. When this becomes general all the white* children will be withdrawn, and the colored children will have complete posses sion of the white schools which are maintained by white tax payers. Tims will the white peo ple of the District be defrauded of tho educa tional privileges for which they aro so heavily taxed; while the colored people will gain noth ing more than they already possess. Yet such is Radical justice. Forney is very bitter against the Senate Judi- ciary Committee; and certainly none of the members have shone any love for the purchasa ble slanderer, Forney. The Chronicle of this morning thus refers to the respectable members of the Judiciary Committee, (I do not refer to Stewart or Rice): “Some gentlemen in Congress are manifest ing great anxiety to find something against the Governor and Republican organization in Geor gia, and should they succeed the rebels will thank them:” It will not bo necessary to go a great way ‘to find something” against Bullock or Forney, either, for that matter. In their case the old proverb that “birds of a feather flock together” is fully verified. Has the slander-mill at Atlanta broken down, or does it want “greasing?” The Bullock-organ here hasn’t published a Ku-Klux outrago or a garbled extract from a Georgia journal for sev eral days. Perhaps it is waiting for the Geor gia bill to come before the House. Three colored persons—one woman and two men—and an intoxicated white man occupied a seat in the r amily circle of tho National Theatre last evening. The latter wouldn’t have been in such company if he had been sober. Civili zation is “marching on.” Mr. Hubbard thinks the actual working of tho telegraph by the Government will involve a de ficiency of over nine millions of dollars per an num. Mr. Orton, of the Western Union, thinks Mr. Hubbard’s estimate too small, and puts tho deficiency at eighteen millions. Well, what of it? Uncle Sam is rich. Dispatches from the Isthmus at tho State De partment, made complimentary mention of Harry Clarke, Chief Electrician of the Darien Surveying Expedition. .. _ Tho base ball season has opened here. Sev eral matches are on the tapis. Mrs. Bowers commences an engagement at the National Theatre next week. John Bronghman has had delighted audiences here this week. . The Brignoli Italian Opera Company give the last of their performances this evening. The Hibernicon is coming. Weather delightful. Dalton. How Qur “Governor” Travels. The Courier-Journal of Thursday, has the following: On Sunday night litst, on the Western and Atlantio railroad, Gov. Bullock, of Georgia, who was en route from Washington to Atlanta, took possession of six sections of the sleeping; car between Chattanooga and Atlanta, and the superintendent of the road took the remaining sections, compelling tho prssengers to sit up all nieht Gov. 'Bullock was traveling in imperial style, being attended by an officer ana twenty men, armed, equipped and uniformedas United States troops. Four men and an officer stood guard on the inside of the car and two men at each door. The others were in the car adjoin ing the sleeping car. It is said that the valiant Governor, although so strongly guarded. was extremely fearful that he would not be permit ted to reach Atlanta alive. Strange to relate, there was not the slightest attempt to disturb him at any point on the route. Letter from Atlanta. Atlanta, May 1, 1870. Editors Telegraph and Messenger ; Another adjournment yesterday until Monday, 12 ir. gives the General Assembly of Georgia another day of respite and repose from the arduous la bors of the present session. The recess, it is true, happens to fall this time on Sunday, but as the two honorable bodies have been in con tinuous session of four hours on an average each day, for three days past, it is more than probable they would have taken one by this time out of a regular week day. Precisely what to do with themselves during the frequent recesses of their honorable bodies appears to be a question almost as difficult of solution with most of these grave Legislators, as it is while in session, and a more lost and be wildered looking set of officials never existed than the attaches and members of the Provi sional Legislature now Ranging around Atlanta, One would imagine, to see them lounging in knots on the street corners, or sunning them selves before tho hotels, they were a band of needy adventurers waiting for something to turn up. In fact, a stranger would have to bo well assured that they were bona fide members of the Georgia Legislature before he could rid his mind of so absurd a notion. The majority ap pear to have no striking peculiarities of air or manner, which infallibly betray the politician and the statesman, under all the disadvantages of circumstances or condition, and beyond what Mark Twain facetiously calls—“that ex pression of natural villainy which wo all have”— one could not say there was anything marked or peculiar about them. Frequent adjourn ments, however, do not appear to ruffle or dis turb, in any way, the placid equanimity of these Solons; and after the arduous labors of a two hours session aro over, they relapse naturally and uncomplainingly into—“the gloomy calm of idle vacancy”—which succeeds. The status of the present Legislature, and its powers and privileges, having been recently de fined by an imperial nkase from the General commanding through his fugleman, the Provis ional Governor, the legislation of the two Houses has been trying to shape itself in accordance therewith during the past week. Several days have been consumed, however, in discussing irrelevant and comparatively useless questions, during which Bryant and tho inevitable Scott shone conspicuously. The Senate on yesterday adopted and trans mitted to the House a series, or string, of reso lutions, adopting in full the appropriation and tax bills of last year, authorizing the appoint ment of the several committees of investigation asked for in tho Governor’s late message, on the situation, and winding up with recommend ing the re-adoption of tho relief resolutions of last session. As this most comprehensive and multitudinous resolution will reach you before this letter, we forbear comment A more com prehensive political olla podrida, than this res olution, was never yet concocted by Radical in genuity. The “relief” sugar-coating at tho end, was appended, yon will perceive, to make it the more palatable to the porcipiency of Demo cratic stomachs, which, strange to say, have never yet been proof against tho fascinations ol any Radical relief gull trap. In fact, we shall always tremble for the consistency of Demo cratic principles, even urged by extremists of the Scolt-Bryant school, so long as it is in tho power of Radical leaders hero to tickle them with so potent a charm as relief'. After the reading of the above resolutions in the House, and the usual tirade from Scott, which, however, for once had one or two good points in it, Bryant obtained the floor, but gave way for a motion to adjourn till Monday, when the resolutions will bo discussedat length, unless an immediate vote is forced, by a call for the previous question on the part of the extreme Radicals. Appropos, while on the subject of “Relief,” wo may add, that General Terry, on a recent occasion, wa3 very decided and outspoken in his views on the subject, and freely condemned all such measures as in palpable violation of the Constitution, and in the teeth of the late Su preme Court decisions. Ho further character ized the late relief resolution of the Legislature as a nullity, and not in his opinion, worth the paper on which it was written. We believe this opinion is quite at varianee with that of a large proportion of our accommodating Circuit Judges, who with singular unanimity, lately ap pear to have found it in perfect accord with law and precedent, and worthy of faithful obser vance, al although on its face it was cumbered with a condition which had been performed: viz—the assent and approval of the General commanding. As General Terry.is known to he a good lawyer, and as events now transpir ing may invest his opinion on these subjects with some importance, it would he well for some of these Judges to make a note of it. Yocas, etc. In a Dilemma. Messrs. Editors : Can you put me in the way of finding one bushel of “ common cow peas”— formerly one of the staple products of Middle and Southwestern Georgia ? In passing through Atlanta I could not find any in market I came down to Macon confident of finding them, as I saw them quoted at the moderate price of §2 50@$3 00 per bushel; but after two days’ searching have not been able to find the article in your market; I am told, however, if I want cotton, I can be supplied with 12,000 bales now in the ware houses. 12,000 bales of cotton and not one bushel of peas in Macon!!! Had onr planters placed one bushel of cow peas” into your market with each hale of cot ton, they would have carried off the snug addi tional sum of $30,000 to $33,000 from their crop, and an honest want would have been sup plied. Who can’t see it now ? ... : • I An Up-Cotjntbx Man. Cow peas “gin out;" ditto fowls, egg3; ditto everything not brought from the West or North Country “gin out” The Courier-Journal says a short time since a company with a capital of three millions of dollars, was organized in Chicago for t^e pur pose of insuring husbands and wives against elopement In six weeks the losses of the com- pany had swallowed np every dollar of its capi tal and all the money it could boirow or steal. That sort of thing won’t pay in Chicago. Homicide in Putnam Countt.—We learn that on Saturday last a difficulty occurred at Peal- son’s Mill, in Putnam comity, between Nathan iel Gorley and Richard Lawrence, which result ed in the stabbing and killing of Gorley by Law rence. We heard no farther particulars. From Stewart County. Lumpkin, Ga., April 23,1870. Editors Macon Telegraph and Messenger ; Fine Spring weather has at length visited the county of Stewart with apparent permanence. For the past two Or three months more singu lar or unsettled weather is not in the memory of our oldest citizens—a bright, fine morning seeming an almost sure index to a damp, disa greeable day. From the continued fall of rain, serious fears were entertained of the loss of the entire com crop—water standing in the fur rows sufficient to “drown out” its growth, while vegetable gardens sharing the same fate were even in a worse condition. The advent of settled weather, however, has generally dis pelled this discouraging state of affairs, and at present everything looks green und flourishing. The April term of the Superior Court of this circuit has been in session for tho past week, Judge Harrell presiding, and adjourning Court on tho 23d instant I learn that tho docket was not entirely cleared, the sickness of one of the lawyers preventing settlement of one of the most important cases, and influencing, in a great measure, so speedy an adjournment. No cases of great interest were brought up. The presence of a good many strangers in our town during Court week has had tho effect of bright ening up trade, and the streets now present quite a lively appearance. Probably there is no town in Georgia, in pro portion to size and population, that has so many attractions, both natural and artificial, as Lump kin. Situated on a gentlo eminence, its site presents an almost level surface. The streets are laid off neatly, and are ornamented with trees of great size and beauty—principally oaks, elms and sycamores. The Court-house and square form one of the principal features in the beauty of our town. The Court-house is a large well-proportioned building in good state of re pair, situated in the centrq of a fine grass plot of about two acres. Tall sycamores arranged in regular order, complete the picture. I am writing by a windows that looks out directly on tho Court-house, and I can assure you that I could not say too much to oxtol the beauty of tho scene—green leaves and grass being every where visible, while the warblings of birds may be heard in almost every direction, from the branches of tho trees. Tho Masonic Female College is another im portant feature, and contributes largely to the attractions of our town—not only as a well im proved and finely constructed building—bnt as a well conducted, useful institution, situated in the north-western part of our town, and is really a showy building. It is controlled by a board of Trustees and under the charge of Rev. D. S. T. Douglas, of New York, a finely educated gentleman and of long exprience in the man agement of colleges and high schools. About one hundred young ladies are now attending this college. I had the pleasure of attending a musical rehersal in tho chapel lost Friday night, and spent a very pleasant hour; each young lady of the musio class in turn giving evidence of her inoreased knowledge and expert ness in this delightful accomplishment. Socia bility and mirth rnled the evening, and happi ness shone on every countenance. In speaking of the beauty and attractions of Lumpkin, let me not forget to mention the young ladies. I have never bad the pleasure of visiting a place where there was so great a dis play of female talent, refinement and good looks. In fact, I havo yot to see a right ugly face in this town. The salnbriou3 climate imparts to the complexion of all a glow of health not often so generally noticed in any other section of Geor gia, and the superior educational advantages enjoyed here contribute in making Lumpkin a “desirable place to live in.” But I am monop olizing too mnch of your valuable space, and will defer farther remarks for the future. Till then, I am, very respectfully, “Luhfkinite.” \ For the Telegraph and Messenger.j Letter From Lumber City. 3fcssrs. Editors—Dear Sms : Thinking that you would not object to hearing from our little city, I drop you a short letter. A small party arrived here a few days ago from your beautiful town on a fishing excur sion. They immediately repaired to the little Ocmulgee, in whose waters fish abound in great numbers. It is needless to say success attended them; for they returned home yes terday, besides a forty pound soft-shell turtle, with dead loads of fish. Another party is ex pected to arrive to-morrow. Come along, all ye lovers of the aquatic creation, and bring along your pans and coffee pots, and partake of tho innumerable hosts of the living creat ures of the little Ocmulgee. Success icill be J Tho polite and accommodating merchants of this place are much pleased at the custom they have been reciving for the last few days. This reaction of trade, I suppose, is attributable to the fact that the timber cutters’ notes have become due, and thereby rendered them flush with greenbacks, which they prefer exchang ing with the stores here instead of those abroad, knowing that they can do so about as cheap, and with less trouble. As to the crops in this section but little can be said at present, other than they arc rather backward, owing to a cold spring. An almost incredible amount of guano was applied to cotton this year, so we look for the groaning of the earth under that weed a little later. No more for the present Yours, etc, J- R- Curry. From C’aba, Direct. A young Baltimorean, just from Cuba, tells the editor of the Columbus Enquirer that the prospects of the patriots aro gloomy indeed. He says that “ the area of the rebellion has been greatly contracted, that demoralization is general, and disorganization nearly complete. The feelings of the people are still for indepen dence, hut their hopes are faint. He believes that without prompt assistanco from the United States, and on a much larger scale than 'that heretofore extended, tho revolution will soon be entirely put down. “ The hardest fighting on the Caban side has beon done by the volunteers from the United States. They have been generally victorious in actual conflicts with the Spaniards, where the odds on the side of the latter were not exces sively great. But the causos above mentioned were sufficient to turn even victory into defeat. “ The negroes did not generally flock to the Cuban cause on account of the revolutionary proclamation of freedom, and those of them who did so made poor and unreliable soldiers.” Wbat Is a Plebiscite? The New Orleans Picayune thus concisely an swers this question: There are many inquiries of late as to the meaning of tho word plebiscite,.which now al most daily occurs in the cable dispatches from Paris. Plebiscite (from the Latin plebisci um) signifies the expression of the will of the whole people on any question of usually groat impor tance, submitted to their vote by the highest authorities. The question now before the French people, and which, on the 8th of'this month, is to be answered at the polls by a “ple biscite,” ia the following: . “The people confirm the liberal reforms which since 18G0, have been introduced by the Empe ror, with the approval of the Corps Legislatif, and ratify the senatus consultum of the 20th of April, 1870.” This question is to be answered by ballots bearing simply the inscription “Yes’ or “No.” A Cincinnati druggist declares that there are no less than a thousand arsenic eaters in that city, and immediate vicinity, mostly young wo men, who take the poison for the oomplexion. The Boston Post says: “Schenok likes the income tax law, bnt it is as odious to the peo ple as an animal whose name comes very near Schenck’s.” ;’ v ' *’ W Courtesies of the Slew York Bar. From a New York special to the^ Courier-Jour nal, we quote this morceav. It is taken from the report of the proceedings in the McFarland trial, Friday. Graham is counsel for the pris oner, and Davis for the prosecution. Mr. Graham was tying np his papers, Mr. Davis was also tying up his papers. They were very near one another. Mr. Graham broke out very suddenly: ‘ ‘Jndge Davis, what did you mean by indicat ing that I had said something, knowing it to be Judge Davis—with calmness, “I mean’t ex actly what I said, sir; I have no explanation to make to yon." [With a sneer on the you.'] Mr. Graham warmed up. He stepped back and half rolled up his cuffs. He doubled up his right hand and strode massively toward Judge Davis, saying, with great anger and vim, “Sir, if I could clearly make out that yon mean to in sult me by your inference, I would chastise you here, and now, in the court or out of court; not only you, but all your backers and abettors and supporters.” A friend tried to calm Mr. Graham. It was no use. He resumed even more heatedly and emphatically to ex-Judge Davis : “God damn you, sir; I can lick you, ora whole field full like you. God damn you, I have never submitted to an insult, and I have a great mind to chastise yon right here and now, and teach yon what’s due from one gentleman to another.” Ex-Judge Davis was unmoved. He had said not a word. He said not a word all through.— He looked pale and determined. He had not receded an inch. He was very angry, but Under complete control. Mr. Graham was livid with passion. The Recorder said, “Mr. Graham, this is very unseemly among gentlemen.” Mr. Graham instantly rejoined, “Yon had no right, sir, to back him up in his insulting reference tome, sir.” The Recorder said to the constables: “Gen tlemen, yon perceive Mr. Graham’s excitement. I charge yon to allow no breach of the peace to happen.” Mr. Hackett then withdrew. Mr. Graham instantly made for where Ex-Judge Davis was standing, saying, “God damn you; I have just a mind to chastise that insolent fellow now. He insulted me. I am enough for him and all his crowd. If I am getting old, I can take care of such as insult me.” With this he advanced threateningly, and laid his doubled up right fist on the lappel of ex-Judge Davis’ coat. The constables combined into a phalanx of three to head off Mr. Graham. He threw them off, and was proceeding tochastise ex-Judge Davis, when Mr. McFarland, who had not been able to get near Mr. Graham till now, rushed foward, laid his little finger on his counsel’s coat and said, with great dignity and firmness, “Please recollect, Mr. Graham, that you owe a duty to mo.” It was enough. Tlie Brunswick Railroad Disaster. From the Savannah Republican.] The Quitman and Yaldosta papers of this week contain elaborate details of the unhappy disaster that befel a party of excursionists over the Brunswick railroad, Friday evening of lost week, and by which three persons were killed outright and a large number injured. The Quitman Banner has much to say on the cause of the disaster, and is very severe on the engi neer and conductor, the former of whom, espe cially, it charges with having been tho reckless cause of the tragedy. We annex its remarks on this point, hoping there may be some mistake growing out of tho excitement and grief natural to such an occasion. We have no hesitation in saying, however, in behalf of the authorities of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, that no one not directly connected with the sufferers can more sincorely lament the unfortunate occurrence than themselves; that every just demand of the publio in the premises will be more than mot; that a thorough and impartial investiga tion into the facts of the disaster was promptly ordered by the President, and all parties to whom responsibility shall attach will be held to a rigid account The Banner brings the following grievous charges against the officers in charge -of the train: THE CAUSE OF THE DISASTEB. Now, the question arises, what was the cause of this horrible disaster ? It is told in few words: Patrick Igo, tho engineer, was beastly drunk, and running his train at a reckless speed infu riated with liquor and indifferent of consequen ces; and the conductor, A. S. Delannoy, did not attempt to check his dare-devil venture. We are told that the conductor made the assertion (and he may officially report the same to the headquarters of the road,) that the engineer was sober; but upon the authority of gentle men of standing and veraoity, who werepresent, we most unhesitatingly assert, and ore ready to demonstrate the same, that he was not only recklessly, beastly, stupidly drunk, when he started the train ont of Brunswick, but that he also carried on the locomotive a bottle of whis ky and took two drinks between Brunswick and the scene of disaster at Buffalo Swamp. He was entreated by another and sober engineer, ana also a citizen, who were aboard the engine, to check his headlong, reckless speed—told that he was the endangering the lives of the passen gers; and ho heartlessly, brutally remarked that he “did not care a d—n;” that he was the engineer in charge and that he intended to run it (the train) through within a given time, and if it loft tho track, he would go with it through tho woods. the people’s demand. Taking all the facts of the case into consider ation, in behalf of tho people we appeal to the officers of tho Atlantic and Gulf railroad to do justice to two hundred and fifty men, women and children who relied upon their discretion to place men in charge of the train, who would havo regard for the lives, limbs and comfort of the passengers. And in the name of the whole people—in the name of the two hundred and fifty whose lives were placed in jeopardy—in the name of thejrelatives of the murdered men and children—in the name of the mangled and wounded victims of this unnecessary disaster, we ask—nay, we demand, that there shall he a thorough investigation of the whole affair. We demand that the drunken engineer, Patrick Igo, be arraingod before the courts of this country, ns an accessory to wholesale murder, and that the railroad company make itself the prosecutor. We also demand that there be a thorough in vestigation into tho conduct of the conductor, Mr. A S. Delannoy, and if he was in any respect, before, daring or after the disaster, derelict in duty, that he also bo prosecuted before the courts of the country. Wo do not directly charge the conductor with being accessory to the disas ter, bnt we do say he did not exercise proper' caution, judgment or authority. It was his duty to ring the bell and stop the reckless spaed of the train. He refused to do so. And after the disaster, it is charged that he treated his dis- tres'sed passengers with great discourtesy and ungentlemanly in the extreme, and was only brought to his senses after a citizen of Quitman gave him a solid cursing and threatened him wFi a thrashing. ^ Is it the City of Boston ?—The New York Commercial Advertiser has the following : The telegram informs ns that whalers return ed to Dandee, from Greenland, report a steam er fast in'the ioo there, and that vessels have been dispatched to her relief. The description of the frozen in steamer is not given. It may prove to be one of the steam fleet of whalers from Great Britain that go there every season, bnt the brief dispatch leaves us quite in the dark in the matter. Tue supposition that it may prove the long missing City of Boston is not an unlikely one. She was reported to have had a short supply of sails,and after losing them and all control over her, was lost, Bho would drift in that direction if she had not left the .Imits of the gulf Steam.

Great Britain.—The measures of the gov ernment towards the paoification of Ireland have not discouraged the Fenians, who are ex tending their machinations even to England. In Manchester a i Newcastle large stores of arms have been discovered, while in London the buildings of the “Times" and the “Fall Mall Gazette” have been threatened with an attack by the Fenians, because those papers had ad vised the government not to 'make any farther concessions to Ireland, unless the Irish popula tion would listen to the diotates of common sense. It is trae, that any attempt of disturb ing the publio peace in England would remain without grave consequences, bnt the state of Ireland must necessarily fill the British govern ment with serious apprehensions. Though 40,- 000 soldiers are stationed in the Island to keep down the rising dissatisfaction, the whole pop ulation, with the exception of the land owners, the well-to-do farmers and the Catholio Priest- hood, is inclined to Fenianism, and considers all concessions of England as so many proofs of weakness. The influence of the Fenian or- ganizaiton has greatly increased since Gladstone has shown that he is attaching great importance to the pacification of Ireland. The Catholic priesthood deserve great praise for opposing the Fenian societies. The Archbishop of Ireland has issned another pastoral letter to this effect France.—The approaching plebiscitnm has thrown France into a state of feverish excite ment. There is a great deal of opposition to this appeal to the people, and political assem blies are held thronghont the country to discuss what action should be taken in regard to the plebiscitnm. The adversaries of the measure are again divided on this point, as some are urg ing the publio not to vote at all, while others are advising the people to vote “ no.” In the meantime the Government brings all its influ ence to bear upon the masses to remain con queror in this contest. Ollivier endeavored to intimidate the better classes by assnring the Corps Legislatif that all friends of peace and constitutional liberty would vote “yes,” while “no” was equal to lawlessness and anarchy. The French republicans have resolved to un furl the banner of their party on the occasion of the plebiscitnm. At a recent meeting they have passed a resolution to found the “Paris IntemationalWorkingmen’s Association,” which will also adopt the device of the socialistic par ty, viz.: “Tho Rapublio, with all her conse quences, and death to her enemies.” The Journal Official has published the pro clamation of Napoleon to the French. The or gans of the Court, of the Ministry and Rouhor (the late Premier), are bestowing enthusiastic praise upon this document, but the independent papers, even those favoring the adoption of the plebiscitnm, are very reserved. Signor Cernandi, an Italian banker, well known by his republican sentiments, has placed 100,000 francs at tho disposal of the Anti-Pie- biscitnm Committee The King and Queen of Spain have separa ted. Isabella has guaranteed her husband a yearly income of 200,000, and the Prince of Asturias a capital of 4,000,000 francs. The fashions of 1830 ore'revived again In Paris. Maurice Richard, the Minister of Fine Arts, wore a blue, swallow-tailed coat with golden buttons, lilao pants and white vest on the occa sion of his wedding. At the last military review, a man dressed in rag3 ran towards tho Emperor, and shaking his fist cried out: “To Cayenne! To Cayenne!” He was immediately arrested, and tho police found upon his person a bag with 1100 francs in gold, three State bonds bearing altogether 30,000 francs yearly interest and a dagger. An examination of his home led to the dis covery of two sabres, five lances, two revolyers, thirteen life-preservers, fifteen daggers,six bay onets and eight sword canes, besides a sum of 00,000 francs in gold. When examined as to the motive of his conduct, he replied that the cheers of the soldiers had filled Mai with indig nation, compelling him to give vent to his pa triotic feelings. Italy.—The Roman police have destroyed the recent pamphlets of Hefele, Rauscher and Schwarzenberg against Papal infallibility. The photographic likenesses of these Pre lates have also been confiscated. It is said that the Russian government has re solved to prevent the publication of all decrees of the Council which are likely to cause dissen sions among the different sects of the empire, or to excite discontent or ill-will against the government. In this category are comprised the dogma of Papal infallibility and the sylla bus. Wo are also informed that tho Hungarian Government has invited the Bishops of that country now staying in Rome to return without delay, in order to take part in the deliberations of the first or seoond chamber, of which they may happen to' be members. The Bishops of Waitzen, Szathmar and Raah have returned in obedience to the summons, after having ob tained leave of absence from the Council. We are assured that they have no intention of go ing back to Rome. The “Roman letters” of the “Augsburg Gazette,” the author of which has been sought in vain by the police, will be published in book form at Leipzig, Germany. They are generally acknowledged to contain the most important and interesting information on the proceedings of the Counoil. The work will be edited by “Qoirinus.” Monsignore Agnozzi, tho Papal Nuncio to the Swiss Confederation, has lately made com plaints to the Federal Council about certain jokes of which the Curia and the Ecumenical Council were made the subject daring the car nival at Basel. The Catholics of the Canton of Aargau have issued an address to their co-re ligionists in Swilzeriand, proposing the forma tion of a Catholio Ecclesiastical Reform Asso ciation. This document declares: “We heart ily approve of the noble opposition of the in telligent Fathers of the Church in Germany, France and Hungary, and we see with deep re gret tho majority of our own bishops in the Camp of the Jesuits and the Papal party.” Spain.—There is hardly anything new to be reported from Spain. A demonstration of the workingmen in Cadiz was immediately sup-, pressed by the local authorities. One of the rioters was killed; several others were danger ously wounded. The~members of the Government are again disunited. The Regent wishes to abdicate in favor of a triumvirate; The partisans of the Duke of Montpensier are said to be gaining ground. A new rising in favor of the Prince Alfonso was expected. The family of Henry of Bourbon has declined to accept the six thousand dollars which the Duke of Montpensier has been sentenced to pay to his heirs. ' The first Protestant Divine service took place in Saragossa. Al mob, which, during the ser mon, had entered the church, was quickly ejected by the police. Greece.—The lamentable tragedy which oc curred in the mountains of Greece has cast a stigma upon the honor of the whole people. A company of tourists, consisting of the son of the Duke of Manchester, the Secretaries of the English and Italian Embassies, a correspondent of the London Times, and several other Eng lishmen, have been brutally murdered by a band of brigands. Several ladies belonging also to the excursion party had been previously released by the robbers. The unfortunate tourists had left the Grecian capitol to visit the battle held of Marathon, where once Pansanias routed the far superior foroes of the Pereian King. On this journey they were surprised by the band of brigands, who dragged them to the mountains and sent a letter to the English Ambassy at Athens asking a ransom of A^OOO for their pris oners, whose lives would be forfeited should the money not come forth. The British represen tative, instead of complying with this request, induced the Grecian government to send a de tachment of troops in pursuit of .the brigands ; but the lawless sons of the mountains, being impeded in then: flight and angered by the io68 of a handsome ransom executed their prisoners in a brutal manner. The murderers who; bad sought refuge in a tower were Anally overtaken and put to the sword. The brigands have disgraced the classical soil of Hellas ever since the first day of Grecian independence. The Government has always indulged in chi merical dreams of political aggrandizement abroad, instead of developing at first the nat ural resources of the country and establishing older at home. 'When we consider that almost half a century has passed away since Greece was wrested from the scepter of the crescent, we must truly wonder at the little progress the country has made in this long lapse of time. The perpetrators of the atrocious deed having 3nffered*tke penalty of death, England can now only claim a large indemnity for the tragio end of her subjects, who found an untimely grave under a foreign dime; but this event will greatly contribute to lessen the philhellenism of the British nation, and the civilized world will withhold its sympathies from a race whose lofty aspirations toward the establishment of a great Hellenic kingdom on tha ruins of the Turkish empire, are ill-supported by their pro gress in civilization. Jarno. Water vs. Steam Power. Editors Telegraph and Messenger : -! As the manufacturing interest of the South is attracting so much attention, I propose to give a few practical hints on this important subject. I discover a strong disposition on the part of our people to fall into a serious error m regard to the location of such interests. Every community,. and in fact each individual in some communities, think this the very best location for a cotton factory, and it must be there, or nowhere. If we propose to make charitable institutions of our Southern facto ries, to give employment and support alone to the poorer classes, this system of erecting fac tories upon local prejudices will prove a per fect success; but if on the other hand we aTe seeking a reasonable return from labor, and upon capital, beware! for there are many important considerations entering into the establishment of a successful paying cotton mill. The ingress and egress to and from a a mill, the arrangements for handling the cot ton from the hale to the goods, even the very number of steps required to do the work,. all enter in as items of cost in manufacturing. But one of the most important considerations is to secure good health. There is probably no greater trial to the general health than the labor of our cotton mills; not from the hard work, but from the constant labor and early and late exposure consequent to the hours of labor. Therefore, places with any tendency to malarial diseases, aro entirely unfit for such interests. We have known some places con sidered perfectly healthy, prove sickly to a manufacturing population. Now in regard to water or steam as a motive pewer. After twenty-five years experience in manufacturing, both with water and steam^ I am prepared to endorse water as a superior power over steam in manufacturing cotton. Giving steam every advantage in choice of lo cation, etc., a few figures will sustain my po sition. For example, take a steam mill on the railroad and a water mill ten miles distant, each with 5,000 spindles, consuming one ton of cotton per dav. Steam—Coat of fuel per day (low) $18 00 Cost of engineer and firemen 5 60 Oil, etc 1 60 Total $25 00 Or $7,500 per annum. Water—transportation 1 ton per day, eachway..3.50 Wagoner .'...160 $5.00 Or $1,500 perannum. Leaving a balance in favor of water $60,000." Deducting $1,000 for contingencies and we have a difference of 50 per cent per annum on every $100,000 of capital in favor of water, even at a distance from the road, to say noth ing of tho risk and ware and tare of steam. Whilst it is important that saw mills, and flour ing mills should be located on the railroad, and do employ steam to great advantage, cotton mills at some distance from the railroad can be run by water for less expense. The secret of this difference is, in the fact, that the two former require little power with heavy trans portation, while the latter requires much pow er with light transportation. When, however, the water power, good health and a railroad connection can De comJ bined in any one location, they present su perior advantages. But with these, there are three things necessary to insure complete sue. cess in manufacturing. 1st. A well selected system of machinery, properly arranged. 2d. Good management 3d. A commercial capital. I know of mills in Georgia that were totally destroyed during the war, and a large portion of their commercial capital, (held in the shape of cotton) was seized by the United States Government, that, have since been rebuilt, ■ with good machinery and by judicious manage ment, completely filled themselves, without calling oh the stockholders for one dollar— while on tho other hand there are mills that were unharmed by the war, that have not re modeled or improved their old machinery in the least, and are consequently far behind in their work. _ I look upon eveiy manufactur ing concern in Georgia that does not pay, as a calamity, for it is literally locking up so much capital, that should be productive. The last prominent cause of manufactures not paying, is the want of commercial capital.. Companies are formed, stock paid in, and every dollar expended in brick, mortar and machinery. Such companies find themselves running before they get in their machinery, but it is running in debt It has been my ex perience that neither extremes, yeiy small or very large mills are the best paying concerns, in the one case, there is not machinery enough for the necessary supervision, and in the other, they manage to provide too many supervisors for the profits—capital gets the best returns from moderately large, snugly managed con- cerns. Having briefly set forth a few facts, I trust that it may settle the question in some minds, as to when, where and how, capital had best be placed in manufacturing. - ; Georgia. The Privileges of Stockholders. Two gentlemen were chatting on the boule vard. One was a great speculator, developing the plan of a magnificent project; the other » dazzled capitalist, ready to snap at the bait. He hesitated a little, but was just yielding, merely making a lew objections lor conscience sake. Near these passed a couple of young sters of twelve years. They were looking into a tobacco shop close by, and one cried out to the piper ! I’d like to smoke a sou’s worth of tobacco.” “Well,” said the other, “buy a sou’s worth.” “Ah! as luck will have it, I haven’t the sou.” “Hold on, I've got two sous.” . That’s the ticket! just the thing; one for the pipe and one for the tobacco.” “Oh, yes; but what am I to do? ’ “You? Oh! you shall be stockholder; you Cd Itwas a flash of light.
