The Greop^ia. TVeeklv T,eles;pavti>h and Journal &d IVTesseiigei?. Telegraph and Messenger, ~MACON, M^Y 13 1870. — TUe Uhiti^ivrtsiilHS iCommittees, The following committees ■were appointed by the presiding officers of the Agency just before the adjournment As a majority on both are in the pay and Service of Bullock, the public will pay little attention to their report. They were appointed to cover np or be wilfully blind to Bullock, Blodgett & Co's, manifold and mag nificent financial and other operations, and we will not do them the injustice of supposing they will defeat the object of there appointment We are pretty sure, however, to have healthy mi nority reports from the honest men on these committees, and to their statements the people will look for the truth. House Committees—On the State Road— Messrs. Lee, Maxwell, Phillips, Tweedy and Parks. On the Governor and Treasurer—Messrs. Be- thune, Shumate, Bell, Price and DamelL On the Penitentiary.—Messrs. Hillyer, Mc Arthur, Simms, Rawls and Turner. Senate Committees—On the Penitentiary— Messrs. Speer, Wallace and Candler. On the Railroad—Messrs. Brock, Colman and Wooten. How lo Fall Asleep. Wo came across the following receipt for wakefolness, yesterday, and publish it for the benefit of “all whom it may concern.” Says the discoverer of the process: I turn my eyeballs as far to the right or the left, or upwards, or downwards, without pain, and then commence rollffig them slowly, with that divergence from a direct lino of vision around to their sockets, and continne this until I fall asleep; which occurs generally within three minutes, always within five at most. The immediate effect of this proiednre differs from that of any other that I have ever heard to pro cure sleep. It not merely diverts thought into a new channel, but actually suspends it. Since I became aware of this, I have endeavored in- numerable times, whilo thus rolling my eyes, to think npon a particular subject, and even upon that which kept me awake, but I could not. As long as they were moving around my mind was blank. If any one doubts this, let him try the experiment for himself. Another “Rebellion.** A big rebellion is working itself to a head just now among the students of Dickenson College, at Carlisle, Pa. The entire Junior and Sophomore classes are engaged in it Leave of absence was asked for and refused; the classes absented themselves from recitation in a body, and were marked accordingly. On Monday morning last the Faculty notified the students that they will proceed as usual, and absentees from recitations that day would be suspended nntil September, and any remaining in town after Tuesday, May 3, would be expelled. The classes refused to attend recitations that day. and are suspended. The two classes comprise one-half the students. The Charleston theatrical people have worked ont a very ingenious method of flank, ing the ambitious darkeys who wish to sit with the white folks in the theatre. "When a darkey presents himself at the ticket office he pays his money and receives a ticket to any part of the house he may desire, bnt the card board unfor tunately for him, bears a statement from the lessee that he reserves to himself the right to refuse any person admittance to the Theatre, upon returning the money to bearer at the gate. Darkey complacently walks from tho ticket of fice to the gate, presents his card. Doorkeeper looks at him, quietly says, “you cannot come in,” pays him his money back, and tbo amend- Burnt, if difinnsed to quarrel, shortly finds it of po avail and walks aw» y Torino wonflcnoti^ Mas. Runkle, alias Lucia Gilbert Calhoun, who busied herself so wickedly to get Mrs. Mc Farland to leave her husband and take np with the dead free lover, Richardson, testified against McFarland on Monday. How she looked is thus described by a Courier-Journal special: She wore a straw jockey hat, a brown bow, black ear rings, black velvet cloak, stono mosaic breast pin and black silk dress. Mr. Calhoun has a very pleasant face—large chin and lisps somewhat. She was, however, thoroughly com posed when replying to questions put to her by counsel, and agreeably disappointed all those who expected her to say more than was asked by connsel. A woman who plays such parts, is not apt to be anything bnt “thoroughly composed” under any and all circumstances. Grand masonic Gathering. The Baltimore Gazette of the 2d, says : The first session of the Supreme Council of Ancient and Accepted Masons for the Southern jurisdiction of the United States will convene at the Masonic Temple, North Charles street, to-day. The following members of tho Snpreme Connell have arrived in the city: Albert Pike, Grand Commander,Washington; D. C-; A. G. Mackey, South Carolina; G. M. Hillyer, Mississippi, Henry Bnist, South Caro lina; J. R. McDaniel, Virginia; E. H. Shaw, California; S. Webber. Kentucky; W. L. Mitch ell, Georgia; Martin Collins, Missouri; S. M. Todd, Louisiana. S. A. Cunningham, Maryland; J. L.Worsham, Tennessee; B. B. French,Wash ington, D. C.; It. B. Jordan, Nebraska; J. D. Ainsworth, Oregon; A. T. Pierson, Minnesota, T. H. Caldwell, California; G. A. Schwarzman, Maryland. Tlie Colored Celebration. Oar colored friends say they had ten schools in their procession, numbering between sixteen hundred and two thousand pupils. They had a fine time—tables abundantly supplied, and or der perfect throughout. They desire ns to ex press their thanks to the committee of the white Sunday school celebration, for the use of the fixtures left upon the ground by them for that purpose. Officials Appointed.—We see from the At lanta Radical organ that Bollock—who, by the way, signs himself “Governor”—has appointed Capti R. A. AltinsoD, of Bibb county, Secre tary of the Executive Department, vice R. Paul Lester resigned; Jas. E. Dickinson, Clerk of the Superior Court of Decatur county, vice G. A. Padrick, deceased; Wm. Melton, Justice of the Peace for tho 323d District of Twiggs coun ty; and P. W. Kemp, Sheriff of Scriven coun ty, vice John W. Boston, resigned. We have received tho first two or three num bers of the New York Standard, a new two-cent daily jnst issued by John Rnssel Young, late of the Tribune. It ia a small sheet about the size of the Son, is well printed, and looks as if it meant business. The editor says it will be thor oughly independent, but we observe he supports the Radical candidates for Judges in New York. We are of opinion that if money is behind it, it will give the Sun a sharp tug for the lead. Gbeeley, of the Tribune says: “Suppose all the Senators hRd lost their voices bofore the beginning of the endless Georgia debate—what would have been the loss to the country?’* Much 1 much! in the way of frightful exam ples. The Bollock Senators who have distin guished themselves in this debate must either blush for their record or law and common sense go into final eclipse. Utah,—Warlike rumors come from Utah. A private circular has been sent by the Mormon authorities through the Territory ordering the brethren to assemble at the school honses for drill. Danites are being enrolled and • arming ia going on rapidly. Meanwhile Brigham insists that the Mormon church is peaoe. They are experimenting with Carolina rice seed in India.' A Prophecy Literally Fulfilled. In April 1861 the late Gerard Hallock, editor of the New York Journal of Commeroe, pub lished an editorial in that paper in which he de clared that one thing would be demonstrated by ■•war upon the Southern'States, viz.:- “That we have not, and in ike client of the subjuga tion of the Soutkem States, are not likely to have suck, a Government as the Constitution contemplates, or such as our fathers understood to be instituted, when dhe Union was formed. The government then established was a govern ment of equals, in which all toeTStates would perform willing parts. The one which our war like friends, represented by the Lincoln Admin istration would prove to exist, is a Government of force, where a majority of States, or of tlie Representatives, as the case may be, skaU hold (he minority in subjugation to their uilL” For the expression of sueh sentiments as this Mr. Hallock was forced to retire from an edito rial career extending over thirty-three years, and to abandon bis valuable newspaper proper ty. How true the above words are, an examina tion of the present political condition of the coun try will tell. And the blistering shame of the wretched business is that so many of the ram pant, raging, foaming,‘blood-drinking secession ists who swore the same thing, and urged the people to rise in arms against so fatal a result, are now the busiest, meanest instruments in the service of the tyrants and assassins who have worked out, through so much blood and misery, this remarkable prediction. It has come to pass, now, that whenever this “Government of force” has a peculiarly dirty job to do, it selects its workmen from thin class. They have been found by experiment to be the cheapest, most zealous, and most un scrupulous tools with which to accomplish the schemes of Radical villainy and vengeance.— The pages of history are cumbered and shamed by the deeds of many sorts and descriptions of renegades from honor, faith, and manhood, bnt none of them famish a parallel to those that record the monstrons apostacy of Southern se cessionists to Radicalism. Here in Georgia we have many notable in stances of this unspeakable shame. .It is a mat ter of record that, among all the purchases by Bullock & Co., of instruments among the white race to work out the degradation and destruc tion of their fellows, nono have sold ont them selves cheaper, .and worked more, industriously for their master, than those who -swore they wouldn’t wait to eat their breakfast before dis solving the Union. They were proud of the appellation of fire eaters,” then, and we shouldn’t be at all surprised if they did not glo ry in the shame of being known and scorned as “dirt eaters” now. The Lord help their base souls ] They have sinned past man’s forgiveness, certainly. The greatest and only boon they dare ask for is to be forgotten. Agency Suspended. The Atlanta Congressional Agency suspended operations on Wednesday last till the first Wed nesday in July next, when they will give ns an other touch of their quality. Their bill for mile age -will be considerable, if not more; and as for their per diem, jnst count it when they say “ad journed sine die.” If the people of Georgia ever get another chance at the polls to elect leg islators, one of the most important considera tions which they can propose to themselves will be to limit this per diem. Vote for no man who will not solemnly pledge himself to limit the per diem to five dollars or under. Anything beyond a bare subsistence is a premium offered for pub lic waste and mismanagement—protracted ses sions—excessive legislation—interminable mon- things, and all the thousand and one flagrant abuses 6* u ’ v out? of sessions to consume time. If “Satan finds some mischief still For idlo bands to do,” in a private capacity, he goeth abont like a rag ing lion among a pack of legislators, so-called, who are notoriously using their office for its petty emoluments. The men who vote them selves nine dollars a day, will not stop at that, when changes for profitable sales are flying about like the leaves of autumn in that centre of shameless corruption—Atlanta. Wo say, then, to the people of Georgia let ns fix npon the lowest minimum which shall give a decent white man his bread and-meat in Atlanta while necessarily engaged on public business, and so make it the interest of all, so far as we can, to go abont their private business as soon as consistent with public duties. Negro mem bers, it is true, cannot be reached in that way, because the smallest minimum in their case will be extraordinary pay; but it is improbable that many negToes hereafter will find their way to the Georgia Legislature. Put the whites on the lowest basis of compensation and we shall have no more protracting sessions for the sake of the per diem. The Georgia Press.

We see that some of the Radicals are begin ning to wriggle nneasily in Washington and to talk abont new political combinations, third parties, and so forth. They see that ontside of reconstruction—negro equality, etc., they have no common standing room, and current events will not leave this to them long. The dogma of universal equality, which is the only funda mental principle they hold is, in truth, but a mere sophistical vagary which the common sense of mankind and the dealings of Providence, will finally confute; and it is more than probable that even the Radicals themselves will be the first to repudiate it. Let them apply it to the Chinese, and one half of the party would aban don it now. Yet this is the only tie of principle they can boast. All the other bonds of cohesion are that series of temporary measures and expe dients which plunged the conntry into civil war or were spawned of its horrors and disorders, What, on the other side, is there to band free men together, shoulder to shotuaer, in firm, cordial union for themselves and their poster!* ty? It is a straggle for a government of law! That platform is comprehensive enough to em brace every friend of the Constitution, the rights of the States and of liberty well-ordered and secure. The Radical party proclaim with Greeley that government in all its parts must yield to the nobler demands of the “rights of a oommon manhood”—they being the exponents. The plan of carrying on the government out side of fixed snpreme law, and by an irrespon sible government, is a conception imbedded in the very life of radicalism, and whioh it will never relinquish nntil overpowered by the peo ple. The only vital question, therefore, before the country, is a government of Jaw or of party caprice as expressed by Congress.

"With life as dear and hope as alluring they perilled all and lost all—even life itself—in our “contest for freedom and struggle for inde pendence.” “The breezy call of incense-breathing morn, The Bwallow twittering from the straw built shed, The cock’s, shrill clarion, or the echoing horn No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed. • “For them no more the blazing hearth shall born, Nor busy housewife ply her evening care, Nor children run to lisp their sire’s return, Nor climb his knees tho envied kiss to share.' How sorrowfully do we think of them! How reverently would we speak of them! How we loved and admired them, as sons, brothers,hus bands and fathers, friends and compatriots. Grant that their cause was unworthy—with a manly honeBty they maintained it, and with a sublimity of fidelity' without'a parallel, they sealed their devotion tyith the sacrifice of life. To ns who felt .the same impulse of patriot ism, their effort may seem fruitless, and their fate untimely; but God governs by inscrutable providences.' The “blood of the martyrs” has been “the seed of the Ohnrch;” and let ns cherish the hope that from the ashes of these dead heroeri; there shall yet exhale an influence which shall pnrify the hearts of the people, and bless onr bhildren’s children with the rich heri tage of freedom. '1 ■ ') Adown the vista of the future, methinks I behold the now withered tree of Constitutional Liberty—which was planted by our rebellions forefathers and watered with patriotic blood- standing forth with renewed vigor, under whose ample shelter enfranchised millions aro chant ing the praises of onr Confederate dead. Let ns ever cherish their memory, and we shall sanctify onr own hearts and fit them for the highest and best purposes of life. As the rolling years shall return the day, let not the occasion be forgotten; let gentle hands bestrew their graves with flower?, and manly hearts grow soft in the contemplation of their virtues. As we thus honor the dear ones who are buried in onr midst, let ns not forget those who sleep in far-off, unknown graves. “The year Comes with its early flowers to deck their graves, And gathers them again as winter frowns.

They are plain bnt comfortable. The women live in them precise ly as people do at a hotel. Each lady has her own key, and when she goe3 ont she locks her door. There is little visiting back and forth, and the ladies behave very mnch as guests at a first-class hoteL Every morning and evening at the ringing of the bell, the inmates of the harem meet in the parlor to attend prayers, sing a hymn and Young prays fervently. Tho prophet nsed to eat at the harem with his wives, Put he seldom does so now. In the morning, on rising, each woman puts her room in order, and if she has children dresses them for break fast, After prayers they all go to breakfast, the ladies with children sitting at little family tables and those without children at the com mon table. The same food is given to all, and the bill of fare is by no means a poor one. Brigham, from time to time, designates one of his wives to take charge of the cooking, and re main on dnty nntil relieved. Daring the day the women walk ont, sow, sing, play the piano in the parlor, or walk with the children. Most of them spin, make cloth and color it. They are very prond of their cloth and embroidery.
