The Armory Factory.
Col. Snead, of New York, representing the
Northern stockholders of the Maoon Armory
Cotton Mills, called on ns yesterday—a young
gentleman of suave manners and impressive
presence. We were pleased to make his ac
quaintance, and learned from him that all the
contracts with the city, in relation to the Armory
property, were duly signed on Friday night,
and the property passed into the possession of
the company.
The Colonel, with great justice, thinks the
company Las made a splendid bargain, and
counts upon a profitable career. The buildings
are as well calculated for the uses to which they
will be applied, as if they had been constructed
for the purpose, and they have'been built with
an indifference to expenditure in respect to
massiveness and solidity, which no private cor
poration would ever havo displayed.
* Tho site is also precisely adapted to the new
uses to which these buildings will be applied,
so that nothing in the existing situation is
lacking to create np here the model cotton milta
of the South. It is believed, that these mills
will be put in successful operation during the
approaching cotton season.
The work of completing tho structures will
be commenced so soon as tho contracts can be
effected. Not only are tho mill buildings to be
completed, but accommodations for 400 opera
tives must be provided. These will be em
braced in a large tenement structure of brick,
400 feet long. The grounds, also, will be
nicely laid ont, bath-houses ereoted in the
grove, and the plans of the company include a
chnich edifice for tho accommodation of the
work people. The company contemplates very
thorough and complete preparation not only for
business, bnt also for the comfort and enjoy
ment of tho operatives. The mills will me
coal as fuel, end will run their own coal trains
to the mines. They will manufacture sheetings
and shirtings and nse the 'most improved
machinery of tho day.
The completion and operation of this vast
establishment will add largely to the activity
and population of the town and the stock of the
city in these mills, we doubt not, will be worth
a hundred thousand dollars, so soon as they are
in active operation.

"Wants “arguments" to show, that the City
Council should not make the proposed donation
for College purposes, and enlightenment as to
the comparative advantages to a rich or poor
father in having a first class Male College locat
ed in the city, and seems to think that, as a
town meeting was called, and an opportunity
for discussion offered and none had, the case iff
concluded against opponents of the project and
those who did not then object to the proposed
Union of Church and State, must forever after
hold their peace 1? u
There were some “arguments" offered by
■Ctintion” in the Snnday paper before the
meeting. LetMaconiangive theses “respectful
answer,” and oonfute them if he can. In a
first class Male GoUege, let me assure him, there
is bnt little accommodation for poor father’s
sons, and there is no reservation for even one
poor scholarship for the large expenditure pro
posed in the resolutions. As regards the action
of the town meeting, it only showed, what
parlies would do if they could, but all. the
bonds, council conld issue, or pledges they
could give on such recommendation, wonld not
be worth the paper on which they are written
hence the tax payers as yet can afford to laugh
at them a little apd «s/nmate the urgent recoin-
mtul-‘.Vw-as iur prompt action at their true
value.
How long we maybe governed by written and
constitutional laws, of course we cannot tell,
but it would ill become those who hold
their places through fear of the deluge of mere
majority laws to furnish so dangerous a prece
dent, and in the event of negro ascendancy in
conncil, what argument could the present
college advocates oppose, should it come into,
their heads that they too must have a college
and pay for it by the use of city credit and city
taxes: 'fj*** ' ; ■ . 5
I sympathize with “Maconian” in his anxiety
to educate his children, present and prospect
ive, and might be willing to sub3eribe some
thing voluntarily to help him, and if so many
appear that the rudiments of a good practical
English education were beyond his means, I
should most cheerfully submit to be proportion
ately taxed snfiicient to guarantee them that
blessing; but however nice it might be to have
his children sent to college at the public expense,
I apprehend but few of the citizens would be
willing to have their property levied on and sold
for taxes for any such purposes for his benefit,
and none wonld be willing, I- presume, to tax
his own unborn children for the benefit of his
prospective family. If he must have public
help, however, let “Maconian” moderate his
View3 a little ; a good laboring man, if honest
and industrious, is a much more respectable
member of society than a would-be professional
spoilt in the raising, and reduced to the neces
sity of living by bis wits, and if honest labor be
tho means by which Providence supplies
through him tho wantsof those six departments,
let not Maconian lightly regard it, bnt be glad
that through labor he can make himself at last
independent—a position whioh many a profes
sional man would be glad to hold, but is not
able.
I would be pleased to see the Mercer Univer
sity located among us, and would give something
out of present scarcity of means to secure it,
but the Baptist denomination in Georgia is much
more able to spend the necessary sum for its lo
cation and requirements than the city of Macon
is, and to them should be left tho honor and the
duty of putting it -where it will best salt tlm
purposes of such an institution. And if a wicked
place like Macon be not scclected, it should be
no matter of regret to those who fill the relation
to the students, whether rich or poor, of
Fathebs.

H- Harrel, of Webster county, was yester
day brought before U. 8. Commissoner L. T.
Downing, on the charge of passing counterfeit
money. He-had been arrested at Albany,..in
Southwest Georgia, by Deputy U. S. Marshal
Bancroft. He was charged with passing a $20
bill on tho Oneida National Bank of New York.
Commissioner Downing required him to give a
bond of $5000, and placed him under the custo
dy of Marshal Bancroft, and both left on the ac-
commodation train for Macon. Darrel seemed
to be taking care of the Marshal; for the latter
was half seas over. His son, for disorderly in
toxication, was placed in the.goard honse by po
licemen. If Harrel does not escape, it will be
his own fault.
B. F. Harrel, the cousin, was arrested by
Deputy Marshal Jaques on the same charge. He,
according to tho admission of his father, a law
yer, had received the $20 hill from the parent,
who had received it as a legal fee from S. J.
Harrel, of Stewart county. The party did not
know the bill was counterfeit, and hence was
released. Col. Blandford appeared in his de
fense.

IIeavt Hail Stoeji.—A heavy one passed

8tones as large as a hen egg fell. Those of the

of treee were beaten off, and limbs broken. The
corn and cotton in many places were.- badly,
pelted. Torrents of rain also descended, and
washed plantations. It seemed as though the
edge of the cloud passed Columbus.
The Sun says all the young gentlemen of that
city who Save been kicked by maids or widows
since the war “are to meet in a private room
next Monday*night for the purpose of organiz
ing a dub for mutual diversion. It is to be
called tho “Slipper Club,” fromthe fact that no
one is to be admitted who has not enjoyed the
pleasure of receiving one. A President, Secre
tary and Treasurer have already been agreed
upon. Each person who becomes a member
must deposit with the Treasurer, to be placed
among the archives, to be recalled at pleasure,
all pictures, touching letters, and gushing notes.
The meetings arc to be diversified by narra
tions, brief and pointed, either written or oral,
of the courtship of each member. The tenderer
they are, or the funnier, the better. Solemn
oaths of secrecy are to be administered.”
Why not have one in Macon? We should
judge, there was abundant material here for a
very large club.
There was a good rain at Bainbridge Wednes

that point, in a very thinly settled portion of the
city he was seized by two men, whom owing to
the darkness of the night he could not recog
nize, dragged into the woods and unmercifully
beaten, and robbed of nil his money amounting

The Constitutionalist gives some wise counsel
to the Southern people touching the way they
should act with reference to the biH enforcing
the 15th Amendment, and Sumner’s negro equal
ity bill. We print, and heartily endorse the fol
lowing extract.
All we of the South have to do in the premises’
is to preserve our sublime attitude of perfect
tranquility and patience. Many thousands of
our former antagonists are beginning to under
stand that the “outrages” fastened upon the
South hitherto have not been spontaneous, but
forced, by so-coHed loyalists, or manufactured
slanderously to order. At present our imper
turbable and invincible spirit of endurance is
more terrible to agitators than the gray line of
the Confederacy with slanting bayonets. Mneh
will be done to make this grand moral attitude
reckless and disorderly. But we should pene
trate the designs of our antagonists, and baffle
them by a cunning and wisdom superior to their
own. To do this thoroughly, wemnst keep our
passions cool. It may be hard to do, but it
can be done, and in tho end there will be a re
ward beyond imagining.
Even if, by some madness, Congress should
authorize the Sumner bill, let us prepare to con
front it by all lawful powers of resistance; but
let ns avoid foolish bravado and intemperate
acts. It will be practically a dead letter in the
main; and, in the long run, it : will work its own
cure by causing a reaction in public sentiment
everywhere such as the revolutionary Congress
little dreams of in its judicial blindness.

From Entknla
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : Many of
your Eufanla readers are at preaeniet this place
attending the Circuit Court of Barbour, county,
either as lawyers, parties to suits or witnesses^
and they are mortal glad to get a copy of your
highly appreciated paper, for it is, you know,
the telescope through which we view the out-'
side world.- There has been very little business
done at the present term of the Court. . Cases
are now on the docket' that were put there the
first year after the war. Why it is that Attor
neys will refuse to try, or in some other manner
dispose of- these old cases, is more than I can
tell. Many cases have been “transferred. $>y
consent” to the City Court of Eufanla, (a court
re-established by an act of the last General As
sembly) where those concerned in them, hope
to get an early trial of the same. The “law’s
delay” is becoming a terror to those whose mis
fortune it is to have debts due them. What,
with the aforesaid “Jaw’s delay” is to become
of those young fledglings whose eases are all far
towards the heel of the docket, while the “old
fogies” refuse to be hurried up, or permit the
extension of the term, is beyond my power to
conjecture. Some of them begin to-look so
cadaverous that it is enough to make a man feel
hungry to look at them. '
This is the first term of the -Court that we
have had negro jurors. We:get along with them
so far very well. Those whose duty the law
makes it to draw jurors have done their best,
considering the material ont of which they had
to work. Tho time allotted by law for this court
to hold its sessions is “three weeks; or until the
business is disposed of.” Nothing scarcely was
done the first week, and but little the second,
other than the trial -of Saiah Smith, colored,
who was charged with the murder of her hus
band by poisoning. She and her husband (Jack
Smith) lived with OoL Ott, near Fort Browder,
in this county, when- the alleged killing took
place. Jack became sick, and instead of re
porting his case to his employer, he sent for a
negro “doctor,” who physickedhiEm; he did Jack
no good, so another was sent tot, who also failed
to give the desired relief. Be was also dis
charged and still another “dark disciple of Esou-
Iapius” was called inj who did the work so
effectually that further treatment of Jack was
unnecessary. -I should like to see the man that
could stand three negro conjurer*. The testi
mony against the woman was weal to start with,
and the evidence of a physician <f Clayton, in
troduced by the defense, knocked the biggest
kind of a hole in the case, throtgh which the
prisoner escaped. She was acquitted by a jury
of _ five white and seven colored men. Many
think that she never tried to prison her hus
band; others, that she made the attempt and
failed, and that Jack was killed by the medicine
administered by his cblorei physicians;: and
others still, think that she did give Jack poison,
and that he died from the effects of the same.
There is an important criminal case set for
the 26th, which, if tried, will probably consume
the balance of the week. At this place lives
Gen. (and Judge) H. D. Clayton. He won much
renown during the late war,-rising from the
ranks to the place of Major Gezeral. Since the
war he was elected Judge of the 8th Jndicial
Circuit of this State. He is non practicing law
and planting, devoting most of Ins time and re
markable energies to the latter ivocation. A
skillful and discreet commander, an able and
upright jurist, a most hospitable aid benevolent
citizen, he is undoubtedly the pride of his
friends. Col. D. M. Seals, one of the leading
members of the bar, and Col. "Whitfield Clark,
the leading‘merchant of the county, both live
here'. The latter gentleman is now suffering
one of those bereavements that it i» beyond hu
man power to alleviate. His wife died in this
place last night, after a very short illness. She
was the daughter of Major John H. Dent, of
North Georgia, and was adorned with every
Christian virtue.. She has gone to reap the re
ward of the faithful. CoL Clark has the most
profound sympathy of his friends.
Court adjourns at the close of this week, when
we will bid adien to the pleasant associations we
have enjoyed for some time, till next November.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger; The ani

new life had been imparted to them, in conse
quence of a refreshing and Abundant shower.
The faces of the produce merchants aie radiant

Yesterday, the 26th, being the day set apart
to awaken afresh in the minds of the young the
veneration and ’ respect due to the Conscript
Fathers of Sunday Schools, was devoted princi
pally to that purpose. The day opened with
every indication of uupropitiousness; the “dark
and lowering” clouds swept the whole horizon,
admonishing the wearers of paper collars, and
other kindred gewgaws of fashion, of their
speedy dissolution. Yet, as the day grew apaoe,
with every indication of one of “Noah’s dews,”
there were only a few fleeting showers, and the
Celebration proceeded. At or near eleven
o’clock a considerable portion of the citizens of
the town and surrounding country assembled
in, at and around the Church. The programme
of the Celebration consisted of songs and
speeches. The singing by the ladies and chil
dren was elegant, and reflected considerable
eredit on their proficient teacher. This part of
the programme was a marked success, and such
was the verdict of the whole audience.
The first address, by Dr. T., contained some
very good advice, And some facts which, if the
feelings of individuals do not grow callous by
arrogance and ostentation, must have been
keenly felt .by some of the audience whose
names appear upon the Church roll.
The second address, by Master "Willie Har
rison, was, for one of his age, handsomely de
livered and very appropriate, at the conclusion
of which he received the applause of the entire
audience. "We here enter a demurrer to the
manner of applause, and respectfully submit
whether or not the thundering of a church-house
floor by tho heels of an excited congregation is
proper on occasions devoted to religions pur
poses. The third address, by R. G. O., Esq.
Subject: “Despise not little things” was han
dled bv the speaker mammothly, and was deli ver-
ed with great precision but with little elegance
of language—thunders of applause. The fourth
address, by Master Milton Smith, was elegantly
delivered and well adapted to the occasion.
Here another scene of political cheering grated
upon the ears of the audience, marring the tran
quility and solemnity of the ocoasion.
The concluding address by W. H. Robinson,
Eaq., of Oglethorpe, waa to the whole, ee a
painter’s brash dipped is Magilp. By each
stroke of polished oratory the picture shone
mote radiant from the first to. the coup de grace.
Here the whole congregation took their depart
ure en masse tor the dinner ground, which was
loaded with every description of edibles, which
were devoured with more delight and gusto
than any of the speeches. The dinner was
snmptnons and uberrima, and none can say that
he went away cum grano salis. The urban and
ratal beauties of the vicinage were out in full-
plume, but the chivalry was non est inventus.
Now and then' a “faint adumbration” of the
apparition of its former self conld occasionally
be discovered, but it soon vanished.
Thus passed away a day that will be long re
membered by many, and by none more than
yonr correspondent, unless his spirit be shorn
of its honor and independence by squalid and
extreme indigence. Prondly yours,
Flint.

'• Tbe Fenian Invasion. -
Speaking of the Fenian Invasion,'the New
York Commercial Advertiser says: q . ,
That this invasion has either the sympathy or
encouragement of the Catholic Church, or of
the more intelligent Irishmen, no one oan sup
pose for a moment A Cincinnati Fenian ex
pressed the views of the latter when ata gather
ing of his comrades on Monday. evening, he
said “that he loved his native land and the des
tiny of her. people too much to sanction any
suoh outrageous proceedings in the name of
fighting for Ireland ; that “this oont6mplated
fiasco” would only end in the murder of a few
good honest, but deluded men, who imagined
they were fighting for “Irish liberty;” that there
was nothing to recommend it to the patriotism
or generosity of Irishmen, but on the contrary,
every, .reason why it should be both privately
and publicly denounced by every honest and in
telligent son of Erin.
The question is asked on every hand what do
the Fenian leaders propose to. gain by this
movement! Nine-tenths of them may be set
down as wild, adventurous, hair-brained fellows,
who do not see an inch before their nose, and
who are willing to draw blood money from the
laborer and the servant girt that they may for a
few days enjoy the sensation of being called
Generals, Colonels, and °f commanding in the
field. We repeat that no fate can be too severe
for them. . JT * - 7‘ ,u . '■*"’ o1 ^
Whatever fate, however, may attend either
leaders or followers In this Quixotic movement,
it will, undoubtedly, wind np the Fenian inva
sion business for years to come, and our Cana
dian neighbors can hereafter enjoy the peace
and tranquility of which they have been robbed.

Many sad and sorrowing hearts mourn the un

void in many breasts, and the remembrance of lis
genial countenance and loving disposition will ever
be cherished by bis many admiring friends- May
God in his JufinrU mercy support the parents and
relatives under this trytog dispensation, where
their love and affection do follow him, and that they
may so live that when they die they may meet him
in Heaven. ontYf. 1

Rreathe ye softly gentle zephyrs,
Round this quiet, hallowed spot,
Whore our lov’d one now is sleeping,
Gentle zepbyn, wake tom not.
Happy birds that sing above him,
Let your notes be soft and low,
Leet ye break the peaceful slumber
Of the one who sleeps below.
Flowers of summer round him blooming,
Freeh with dews of early morn,
Rreathe sweet incense still around him,
Still his resting place adore,
Must the dear one sleep forever r
Will no brighter morrow come ?
Is there tor tho dead no waking
From tho cold and silent tomb ?
Yes! the deeper will awaken
To a bright and endless day.
And be home by happy angels
To bis homo, far, far away!
Sleep till then, my Wiliie, sleep!
Bain of autumn, sadlr falling,
Lightly press upon his bod,
Hallowed tears of nature shedding
For the dear, the chermheddead!

Death of Wm. C. Evans.—This sad event 00-
ourred about I o’clock yesterday ai -
Mr*. Freeman's boarding house da the oontex '
of Second and Poplar street 3 Dfioaraed waa a
most worthy and highly respectable young man,
about twenty-one years of age, and was a son
of Judge 3; H. Evans, at Monroe county. Dur
ing the business season of S868-9 be was em
ployed in the ootton warehouse of Menas, Jona
than Collins & Son, after whioh he attended
the oommereial ©allege at Poughkeepsie, N. Y.,
where he graduated last yees and returned to
this oity and took a clerkship in the wholesale
boot and shoe establishment of Mix & Wit-Hand,
which position he held ct the time of his death.
He was a member of Defiance Fire Company,
No v 5, and a detaohment of that Company es
corted his remains to the depot yesterday morn

where his. family reside, for interment. De

Death of "Mr. Broughton;—It isouifpainful
duty this morning to announce tho death of Mr.
John Broughton,‘who was shot on the evening
of the 15th inst., in this city, by Mr. Henry G.
Ross. He expired quietly and without a struggle
yesterday morning at 15 minutes after 5 o’clock.
Strong hopes were entertained for his recovery
up to the time when a negro who, one day last
week, was shooting a pistol near Mr. Broughton’s
residence, threw a ball into the wounded man’s
room, which, excited him very much and pro
duced a fever, under which he began to sink
rapidly until he expired a* above stated.
It were vain to pause here to comment upon
this sad and tregio affair. It is enough to know
that it has terminated most disastrously to both.
The 'one lies cold in the embrace of death; the ic
other is a fugitive from a home to which he dare .. i
not ever return, and roams the earth like Cain of
old, with the brand of amurder on his brow and
the blood of a brother on his hands. •

Concerning Jews.
ll'rom Moore's Rural New Yorker.]
>3 In a recent number of your valuable Rubai.
is an article on “Street Scenes in New York,”
by “Uncle Paul,” in which the following sen
tences occur :—“Jews never marry other than
Jews. They never attend any other than a
Jewish church.” “To mix the blood of any
other people in their veins is, in thoir estima
tion, torender them unworthy of God’s especial
regard.” ** a ii .mr*50.1 tsvm jB<y
Now, .if “Unde Path.” will visit Maoon, we
will convince him that he is, for onoe, in error.
We will introduce him to two (at least) worthy
afid influential citizen Jews, one of whom is the
proprietor and owner of one of our first-class
hotels; the other a merchant, comfortable in
the possession pj Considerable property, Christ
ian wives,—estimable ladies, flhd iealoUB mem
bers of Christian churches in our city,—with or
several “brilliant gems,” the offspring of happy
matrimonial alliances, adorn the family circles.
The husbands are often seen gallanting their
wives to their chosen Churches and occupying
the same pew. Th6 wives as often are seen
accompanying their husbands to the synagogue.
Parents and children all move along harmoni- -
onsly, and some Christian families might im
prove their domestic felicity by emulating the
example of these despi-ed Jews.
In regard- to: the religious education of the |g
children, I understand that all that was pre
viously arranged, so that no “family jars” oc
cur on that score.
^ Perhaps “Uncle Paul,’, should he make that
visit, would find a different class of Jews Grom
those with, whom he has heretofore had inter
course. For it must be admitted that the Jews
of Macon, as a class, rank among our best and
most valuable citizens, are exemplary in their
walk and conversation, honorable in their deal
ings and management of business, social and
agreeable in intercourse with their fellow men,
and always among the first to render assistance
when persons or property are overtaken with
distress or distaster. And I have come to the
conclusion, by- the experience and observation
of nearly three-score years, that the prejudices
connected with our early Christian education,
in regard to those possessing other religious
beliefs, were erroneous and unjust; and when
visions Of the eatly clock peddlers and wooden ,
nutmegs of my native State appear before me,
I thick that I can afford to exercise a little
charity towards others. • ■ -
