Tla© Greoreia 'Weekly Tele^raiili and. &; Telegraph and Messenger. MACON JUNE SI, 1870. The Presbyterian Ke-union. As voiy appropriate reading for the day, we conclude on our first page the publication of the whole series of papers upon the matter of the Northern proposition for a re-union of the Presbyterian Church of America. We have printed in order—1. The proposition of the Phil adelphia General Assembly, with the speeches of the distinguished delegates bearing it from that General Assembly to lie Assembly at Louis ville, and tho answer of the Moderator of the Louisville General Assembly. 2. The response, ftt length, of the Louisvillo General Assembly, and speeches from members sustaining and ex cepting to that answer. 3. The final action of the Philadelphia Assembly (which we reprint to day) with tho speech of Dr. Van Dyke, review ing tho preliminary terms and conditions de manded by the Louisville Assembly, pronounc ing them inadmissible,incompatible with and fa tal to Ac very objects proposed by the confer ence and negotiation—postponing tho further consideration of tho matter —discharging the committee—expressing profound regret for the result, and substantially devolving upon the Southern ohurch the duty of re-opening future negotiations for re-union, should they think it desirable. Wo need not invite the attention of tho reader to the closing chapter of this profoundly inter esting passage in the rehgio-political history of the continent. It will be difficult to over-rate the momentous consequences of such events in their bearing upon the whole religions, social and political frame work of the country, and he is but a shallow thinker, or insensible to the public welfare, who does not view tkenj with profound interest and concern. For reasons clearly stated, a few days ago, and quite conclusive in their character, we with hold all views of our own upon this subject, and indeed they are needless. The reader has in tho papers wc have printed the best possible statement of both sides of the question, and will find no difficulty, if he has read them, in coming to a satisfactory conclusion, upon the merits of the proposition and the attitude of the parties. The Examination of Colored Cartels. The editorial oomments against the board of examiners at West Point for their action in re jecting the two colored candidates for cadetships ns invidious to the colored race, has called forth a statement from General Shriver, Inspector- General, to the effect that Michael Howard, (colored,) son of a member of tho Mississippi Legislature, nominated by Mr. Perce, was ex amined and found to bo physically capable bat utterly unfit mentally, having attended school, not over n year. In tho other case, John W. Smith, of South Carolina, the board of medical examiners unanimously certify to his physical, incapacity. He is nearly blind at times, and has an affection of the longs. The above is a Washington special to the Richmond Dispatch, of Saturday. It is real good, reading for Howard and Smith’s colored brethren down South, for of course those of them who have senso enough to The Georgia Press. The Columbus cotton statement up to Satur day, June 11th, shows total receipts, 66,357 bales, shipped, 60,953 bales, stock on hand 5,- 529 bales. The Savannah cotton statement same date shows total receipts 453,233 bales of upland, and IS, 110 of sea island cotton, shipped, 436,- 334 bales of upland, and 14,806 of sea island cotton, leaving stock on hand, 16,899 bales of uplands, and 304 bales of sda islands.

Duelistic.—We incidentally leim that knight of the yard slide and a disciple of St. Crispin, in our city, have been seriously con sidering whether it were “better to bear the ills they have, or fly to others they know not of,” by a hasty resort to pistols and coffee. Rivals for the hand df a ladye fair appears to bo the sole cause of their mental and physical ailments, and though phlebotomy may be an advisable subterfuge under certain circumstan ces, yet in a case like the one here presented— whan girls are as “plenty as autumn leaves in tho vales of Valambrosa”—we would suggest that our young friends defer hostilities about fifteen years, at tbe expiration of which time, their lovo being as ardent, and their cry still for blood, we doubt not their wonnded wrath might be appeased by arranging for a meeting with yard sticks and awls, at abont three hun dred yards distance. Gentlemen: If fight you most, tip ns the wink and we’ll be there to see, and in addition thereto pledge our word that either, or both, shnS have a first-class obituary notice, in the event of snob a neces sity. Completed.—The new bridge of the Macon & Augusta Railroad, which spans the Ocmulgee river, one mile below town, is now about com pleted. It is an excellent and most substantial peice of mechanism, which will reflect credit for many years to come upon .its energetic and accomplished builders—Wilkins & Brothers.— These gentlemen, it will be remembered, were providentially interrupted in their work cm the bridge, last March, by a tremendous freshet, which swept away portion of tho bridge and* oyer turned the center pier, before any bracing dr supporting of either coaid be made. If the* high water had struck the bridge a few days later than it did it wonld have done no damage, bat it so happened that the freshet came at the critical moment and away tho bridge went. Bnt, notwithstanding this ^avoidable set back, the work of reconstruction was entered upon with renewed energy, and has been completed in a most satisfactory and admirable manner. Eoftcr from Southern Georgia. Editors Telegraph <£ Messenger : Since I was in yonr office, last week, I have been through a good portion of South Georgia. The rains are very partial—some places plenty of rain, others very dry. I was told, at Quitman, that there had been no rain in the lost two months. The com is suffering—gardens have nearly dried np. A large amount of com was shipped from this county at one dollar per bushel, bnt it is now so scarco that it cannot bo bought at one dollar and seventy-five. Nearer the coast the rains have been more general and crops promise better. Tho fertilizers ore showing for themselves. If the rains continue farmers will do well with their experiments. J. W. S.

Death of Wm. Gilmore Simms—Bank and Cotton Statements—Qnarantine War—Important Foreign News. Washewtox, June 12.—The President orders the release of the Cuban steamer Hornet to her original owners, upon bond in fifty thousand dollars. B. F. Butler and Wm. E. Chandler aro the bondsmen that she will not be used in vio lation of the neutrality laws. The value of the steamer and property released is one hundred thousand dollars. The Hornet was a Cuban privateer, which put into Wilmington for coal. Twenty thousand dollars in tens have’.been stolen from the U. S. Treasury. Charleston, June 12.—Wm. Gilmore Simms, the distinguished Southern novelist, died at the residence of his son-in-law, in this city, last evening, aged 64. New York Bank Statement. New Yobs, June 12.—The Bank statement shows a decrease in every item and changes, in some cases, quite violent. The heavy decrease in loans is due to general dulness in trade and speculation. The largo falling off in deposits arises from tho decrease in loans, specie and le gal tenders. The decrease in the latter, is due chiefly to payments into the Treasury for inter nal taxes and the fact that some money has gone West during the week. Tho decrease in specie is rather larger than generally expected; but tho average at the close of the week was a fall ing one and this probably has affected the aver age this week. An analysis of the statement shows that the banks have made a net loss in their legal reserve of about 2,150,000 dollars, but they still hold over twenty-five millions above the legal limit. General Cotton Statement. New Yo3k, Juno 12.—The cotton movement during the week shows a heavy decrease both in receipts and exports, which is qnite natural in view of the approaching close of the cotton year. The receipts at all the points for the week were 17,995bales, against 22,441 last week, 30,730 bales the previous week and 44,055 bales three weeks since. The receipts at all the points since September 1, 1869, reach 2,702,800 bales against. 2,072,187 bales for the corresponding period of last year—showing an increase of 720,602 bales in favor of the present season. The exports from all ports for tho week were 22,9G2 bales, against 36,160 bales last week and 25,613 bales thi3 week, last year. The total ex ports, since September 1,1869, are 1,983,841 against 1,39G,6S3 last year: The stock at all ports is 263,896 bales against 107,669 bales at this date.last year. The stock at interior towns is 48,167 bales, against 51,915 bales last week and 71,025 bales this date last year. Tho stock in Liverpool is 603,000 bales, against 465,000 bales las year. The amount of American cot ton afloat for Great Britan is 132,000 bales, against 80,000 last year. The amount of Indian cotton afloat for Europe is estimated at 339,683 bales against 559,816 bales last year. Tho crop accounts are generally favorable, although the recent rain storms along the Atlantic coast may have extended into the interior and possibly done some damage to tho growing plant. A proposition appears to-day fora lasting testimonial to Dickens—monumental or other wise. Horace Greeley’s health is improving. Forty seamen, survivors of tho Oneida disas ter in Japanese waters, were yesterday paid off and discharged. They were generally dissatis fied at the amounts allowed. Eleven thousand eigiit hundred and ninety- two emigrants arrived last week—over eight thousand of whom went to the interior. A Quarantine War. A Quarantine war has commenced between Brooklyn and New York. Some vessels which had been permitted by the quarantine authori ties to proceed to the Atlantic docks in Brook lyn, were ordered by Dr. Cochran, the Brooklyn health officer, to proceed to Piers farther np tho East river. -The quarantine men, in a steamer, attempted to tow off tho vessels, where upon their hawsers were cut by order of Dr. Coch ran, and the New Yorkers retired from the con flict. Tho Brooklyn merchants and working men seem to side with Dr. Cochran, and are de termined to fight the matter out. The Regatta of West Point cadets, yesterday, was won by a second-class boat, which made three miles in nineteen minutes and fifteen sec onds. John MacNally, a dissipated shoemaker, mur dered his wife in WilliamBburg, last night, smashing her skull with a hammer.

London, June 12.—The conservative mem bers of Parliament held a private meeting Sat urday night and resolved to support the Gov ernment’s compulsory education bill and oppose the amendment offered by Harcourt and the National Education League. Lord Derby is reported to have promised to desist from opposition to the Irish land bill and to seek only to make such amendments as will render the measure acceptable to the House of Lords. Flobence, June 12.—The Economista reports the correspondence between the Italian and Swiss governments on the threatened invasion by tho adherents of Mazzini of Italy. It had assumed a milder tone. Dispatches from Vienna state that a descent of Italian revolutionists, from Austrian territo ry, is threatened, and that the Austrian gov ernment is taking measures to guard against the movement. London, June 12.—Advices from Rio Janeiro to the 23d of May have been received. The Parana commissioner of the Brazilian govern ment had returned to Ascuncion, where he had signed a treaty of peace with Paraguay. The revolutionary movement in Entre Rios and Uruguay continued.

Revision op tiie Bible—the Proposed Work in England.—The London correspon dent of the New York Times says: The Convocation of York refuses to join with that of Canterbury in bringing abouf* a revision of tho English Bible. For this rea son a royal commission is out of the question, but the Convocation of Canterbury has resolv ed to undertake the work, and a k the aid of all religious denominations throughout the Eng lish-speaking world. The Dean of Canterbury wished to include the Jews also, so fur as the Old Testament is concerned. Therefore, every one who has an amendment to propose should send it to tho Archbishop of Canterbury, post paid. The present version was a long time in preparation, and after it was published it was a full half century before it came into general use. A new version might take longer, con sidering the violent opposition of men, like Lord Shaftesbury, to any change. It is said that an adequate revision would, on an aver age change one word in every verse of the New Testament, and many whole verses, and some that arc considered very important ones, wodtd be left out altogether. Still, as far as I can see, the errors are not so important as many suppose, and the interpolations are, in nine cases in ten, merely explanatory, and many have been first introduced as marginal notes, and afterward carelessly embodied in the text But in a rapidly-changing language every translation requires frequent revision.

The Ad ministration had imprudently partaken of strawberries and cream. ‘Whether the hemes were too ripe, like Cuba, or not ripe enough, like San Domingo, I do not know; but the cream soured and curdled so that the digestive apparatus of the Administration was paralyzed, and the fruit, instead of digesting, went into rapid decay, causing a fearful accumulation of foul gases in tho stomach of the Administra tion, disturbing the bowels and causing intense pain. Tho treatment consisted of a mustard plaster to_ the bowels and stomach of the Ad ministration, and a hot brick to the small of the hack. In forty-eight hours tho Administration was .sufficiently convalescent to boar fifteen minutes of the State Department, when the venerable sardine gave small doses of Catacazy on hemp and Thomton on Fenianism.
