MACON, NOVEMBER 23, 1870.
Russia and tha Treaty.
Gorischakoff, the Russian Prime Minister,
|«]ks very kindly in response to the bristling of:
Mr. Bull. Russia explains thepacifio character
of her previous declarations, and insists that
she shrinks from separating herself from the
other powers, and wants peace, which it would
bo impossible tq maintain without a common
understanding. These are fair words, but thoy
commit her to nothing. No doubt she will ex
haust diplomatic resources to prevent war, but
then she is ss thoroughly bent upon pursuing
her own great policy as if she had answered in
in a passion.
Tnoore fob Geoeoia.—It has already been
announced by telegraph that Mr. Grant would
send troops to Georgia to sustain tho Congres
sional election law at oar election next month.
According to a Washington special to tho Cou
rier-Journal, one of Mr. G.’s cabinet didn’t
think it itT would work well, as ho expressed tho
fear that tho result might be tho sarco as in Al
abama, where leading politicians had admitted
that tho presence of troops had dono no good in
a political way. Wo are glad to know that ho
was overruled and that the bayonets will or mo.
Their presoneo will probably keep tho Radicals
from cheating as outrageously as they might
havo dono, and will bring out the whole Demo
cratic vote. Send them along, Messieurs.
Baited Poultby.—Many a thanksgiving din
ner in the neighborhood of Macon was spoiled
by salted poultry—a vile and abominable Ten
nessee invention to spoil good things. Pickled
poultry is of all food most worthless, and now-
a-days they pickle it so adroitly that the buyer
is easily deceived. The salt hardens 6very fibre
of the fiesh to tho consistency of leather and
destroys all the flavor of tho meat It fs wretched
stuff, and let every housekeeper be on his guard
against it—unless ho is very careless about
throwing away money and losing his good na
ture at tho table.
Feoac Florida.—The Floridian of the 22d,
figures up official and unofficial returns showing
a majority of 402 for Bloxham, Conservative
candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, and of 371
for Niblack, Conservative candidate for Con-
g.683. .The official majorities will not vary
much from COO, and this in the teeth of very
general frauds throughout the State. Such a
result is exceedingly creditable to the Democ
racy of that State.
General S. B. Buckner, wife and daughter,
were in Tallahassee, and would spend tho win
ter in that vicinity.
Send Them Along.—The telegram is par
ticular to state that the 8th U. S. Infantry are
not to be sent to Georgia to look after the elec
tion, but all needful military dispositions will be
made from troops now in the South. That is a
pity. The experiment made by Gen. Grant in
holding a military supervision of the Northern
elections worked well for the Democrats, and
would not hurt in Georgia. Send them along.
Let us have a square application of Radical
Usage. '
A Ghbisihas Pbesent.—Some New York gen
tlemen are getting up a present for Gen. Grant
of a set of mathematical and surveyor’s instru
ments, with a library, valued in all at $225,000.
These will enable the Chief Magistrate belter
to survey the political situation, about which he
is said to be anxious. Gen. Grant has dismissed
his retioence, and is ready to talk with anybody
now on the chances of a renomination.
The Dutkbknck.—At the organization of the
North Carolina Senate, last Monday, Guilford
-Christmas, (colored) of Warren county, was
nominated and elected Assistant Doorkeeper
by the Democrats in that body. All the Radi
cals voted against him, and in favor of a white
carpet-bagger. We call the attention of colored
men to this fact.
A Cool Place.—A notable fact, has been the
frequency of late in which the meteorological
records show a lower temperature at Augusta,
Ga., than at many points farther North. Thus,
on the 21st, Aagnsta reported 88; Boston 40;
Buffalo 42, and so on, while Montgomery on the
same day was 51. What makes Augusta so icy?
Peace ts. Was.—Prof. Wilcox and the “Soci
ology Club," of New York, came down heavily
on war last Tuesday at that great centre of
moral and political light, the Cooper Inatitnte,
New York. The Professor is right. There is
lees sense in war than even in a private fight.
Mb. Colfax is again in Washington. It is
said that the entire population of the oity was
made conscious of the fact the nieht of his ar
rival by a gleam of sunshine that broke, like a
smile, over the heavens, until it split into a
golden and permanent grin. This may now be
seen perched upon the dome of the capitol.

A young rhyming correspondent asks: ‘Ts it
true that there is poetical inspiration in tea,
ooffee and such mild stimulants ?” Certainly it
is. There is the case of Edgar A. Poe, for in.
stanoe. A little t would have made Edgar A.
Poet—Ibid.
An undertaker at Franklin, Term., has re
cently brought on a hearse which cost him four
thousand dollars, and it is with the utmost diffi
culty that anybody around there can raise money
enough to die.—Ibid.
Iz is said that Fanny Fern has made $30,000
by her writings. For an anthor whose writings
lack about a dollar and a half of being worth a
cent, that, we shonld say, is doing remarkably
well.—Ibid.
Monet ob Pafeb. — A learned friend in Talbot
writes: “I have tried to see which I could do
the best without—the money or your paper, and
have concluded to let the money go.” . That, in
these times, is a high compliment, and the en
closure of $10 00 stamps its sincerity. We will
give 300 tokens of onr appreciation.
Tub amenities of Cincinnati journalism are
interesting. Tho naturalist of the Enquirer has
discovered that “ a louse from the Commercial
office went oyer and titillated the spinal column
of the incompetent district attorney day-before-
yesterday. ’ ’
The Cincinnati Commercial is making its
oonntry exchanges feel ‘‘the so-called money
making power of tiie independent press” by
grouping their sentiments under the head of
* ‘The Yoioe of the Official Porps. Spirit of the
Editors of the Country Printing.”
Population and Votes.—The Cincinnati En
quirer says that Chicago, in the recent hotly
oontosted election, gave 29,603 votes to a census
population of 1107,000, and Baltimore gave 39,-
045 to a oensus population of 267,000.
Gentle Hint.—The Montgomery Mail of
Wednesday has the following delicate hint:
It will greatly facilitate business in tho House
of Representatives if visitors (especially colored
ones) will leave their dogs at homo.
San FnANciBco has the model lawyers. Two
of them have each refused $10,000 offered for
the defense of Mrs. Fair, the murderess of A.

Sir. Bcp Under’* War.
The General seems to be full to the chin of
his. patent, compound, doable-action, anti-
breach and sanguineous remedy to prevent an
untimely collapse of Radicalism in the United
States. Why, sir, (see dispatches) he is so fall
of it, that he actually gets milky over “our best
fnd bravest Southern brethren who fought
against the government,” and he fairly over*
flows about “tho brave sons of the South”—
meaning, not the sable sons, of Africa who
“fought so nobly” on ’tothor side; but those
low-down whites—those degraded and desperate
traitors and Rebels for whom a”halter has been
tender "mercy, and . who ought, long ago by
stretching hemp to show “treason made odious.”
Think of that for Gen. Ben I I-n't it magnani
mous? and shonld wo not appreciate compli
ments coming from that sonree ?
^ But the fact is, General Butler, it will scarce
ly do to bc-t Very high upon the ardor of the
“brave sons of the South ” in tho support of "a
war trumped up for mere partizan purposes.
The “brave sons.of the South” might, and we
believe would, uphold the national flag against
a foreign enemy.in any war having the sanction
of justice and reason. True, in the last ten
years of our.lives, the “old flag” has been, with
us, tho symbol of violence, outrage, injustice,
oppression, folly, social disorder, subversion of
law, strutting military dictators and all that
kind of thing; but we hope for better results
by and by, when the people shall get tired of
such politicians as Ben Butler and Jhe Radi
cals, with whom law and right and liberty are
subordinate to pelf. In this hope, and only in
this hope, we believe the sober judgment of our
people would stand for the maintenance of the
authority and jurisdiction of the United Skates
Government. Bat in a causeless, speculative
war, got up for the mere pnrpose of throwing
honest and sensible men into an attitude of
quasi hostility to the Government, in order to
perpetuate tho power of party knaves, it will
not do to bet too high on the “brave sons of the
South.” I
But, in starting this notable scheme to recon
solidate Radicalism, it seems to ns Gen. Butter
has failed to take into account the discordant
interests it will invoke, even in his own rauks
Unfortunately for his plan, all tho leading Rad
icals have had the run of the Treasury and have
stuffed their pockets fall of “national securi
ties,’’ so-called, which, in due time, have in*
creased in value from thirty-ffve cents in the
dollar to within a shade of par value, and bear
interest payable in gold. Will this huge mass
of loyalty, and bonds, and coupons follow him
in getting up a war to save the party at the ex
pense of their bonds ? We trow not.
The Germans In France,
Appear to be having a dull time of it, with bad
weather and ranch sickness and mortality in the
camps around Paris. The military operations
of the French outside of Paris havo compelled
the Prussians to recall most of their expeditions
and concentrate aronnd the capital. On the
other hand, famine is at work in Paris, and
unless the seigo is raised that city cannot long
hold out. With dog and cat meat at one dollar
and twenty cents a pound, it is evident that
food must be extremely scarce.
There is abundant verbal promise of grand
sorties from the city to co-operate with Pala-
dines in breaking up the Prussian lines of cir-
cnmvallation, bnt the reader can judge of the
practicability of that enterprise just as well as
we. It seems to us the way to break up the
seige would be to cut off and hold the Prussian
communications in the rear, and that military
operations in the vicinity of Paris, which has
been drained of all its food supplies, will be ex
tremely difficult.
On the whole, Paris will, in all likelihood, ca
pitulate at no very distant day. But it is not so
clear that that event will terminate the war.
France will still have a vast army in the field,
and the government is now carried on quite in
dependently of Paris. But a small part of
France is even in occupation of the enemy,
and we see no reason why a people folly bent
on resisting foreign domination, might not pro
tract the war to the point of ntter weariness
and exhaustion on the part of the invaders.
Progress of the Photographic Art.
Pagh, the well known and popular photo
grapher of this city, has reoently made some
advances in his art that would really seem to
leave little, if any, room for further improve
ments or excellence. Among them we notice
the engagement of Mr. Chas. do Leon, a grad
uate of the Antweip School of Art, whose pho
tographs, we predict, will soon be all the rage,
as they are unequaled for beauty, finish, and
fidelity to nature. They are destined, we think,
to have a wide and well deserved popularity.
Pugh, however, takes pictures in all styles, of
all sizes and prices, andis bending every energy
to famish, at very reasonable rates, pictures
that will compare favorably with those taken
anywhere. We think he will surely succeed—
nay, that he has already succeeded, as a walk
through his gallery amply demonstrates. Pic
tures are taken in all sorts of weather, and with
the same results as to beauty, and superiority
of finish and execution, as we know from occn-
lar demonstration. We like to see a man soo-
oeed who deserves it, and we are glad to know
that Pagh is doing that very thing.
What's the Use?
The Democratic majority in Georgia is no
donbt some where between twenty and fifty
thousand majority, but there are so many “whafs
the use men," among them that they will make
a poor showing, if they can’t shake off the pip.
“What’s the use” doing anything against that
law for a fraudulent election? “What’s the
use” voting against three days of fraud, to be
followed by weeks of false counting ? “What’s
the nae” this, and “what’s the nae” that, and so
“what’s the nse” sinks down in apathy and de
spair. We say “what’s the nse” of doing that ?
and leaving space for bitter regrets hereafter,
for your own folly and remissness. Wake np
and let ns do onr best under all circumstances.
Taking Cold.
There is no more seasonable time in the year
to take cold than tho present; the facilities are
abundant, and, as a consequence, every other
person we meet admits to having taken advan
tage of the opportunities furnished. The tech
nologist condenses the philosophy of taking cold
into a few lines, and we give them for the bene
fit of those who would learn how to avoid the
disagreeable complaint. It says:
“The human frame was intended for activity,
to ran fast and to ran slow, but it must be man
aged. A locomotive can run very fast, bnt if
stopped instantaneously, when going at a high
rate of speed, it is nojointed as badly as if it had
had inflammatory rheumatism for seven years.
A skillful engineer, however, tones down his
speed gradually, and in this lies the whole se
cret of taking cold. It is exposure or careless
ness, after exercise, that brings on colds. Af
ter walking, or running, or dancing, or any ex
ercise that quickens the circulation, a little cur
rent of air from a window, a crevice, from an
open door for a few minutes, just to cause a
chill, is sure to produoe cold. Merely stopping
on the street in a current of air—as at a corner
where the wind breaks or makes an angle—will
do the job. Any sadden subsidence of active
forces of the body in a temperature that chills,
will produce cola The little oommon sense
that is needed, and for the lack of exercise of
which so much money is paid to doctors is, pre
serve an equal temperature, or, having exercised
freely, recover the proper state gradually with
out a chill. This is attained in a simple and
easy manner. After exercise always seek rest
in a sheltered place, where yon will be warm,
never being hasty to remove hat, gloves or eape.
Let the perspiration subside before diarc' '
if in-doors, and If out-doors, always keep gently
moving until the usual condition is attained.”

New Yobk, November 23.—Tho Tribune’s
Paris correspondence from the 8th to tho 9th

the people eat guinea pig3 and cats, and even
rits. Only forty thousand horses remain of the
on* hundred thousand in the city at the begin
ning of the siege. Cats are sold at six francs
per pound. Deaths last week, 1,000—419 from
smallpox. After the 10th inst., sales of the
flesh of horses, mule3 and asses are regulated
by a tariff likw beef, and rations thereof were
issued by the government. The people bear
their privations well thus far. Charcoal is now

Sad Casualty from Explosion.—On Saturday
afternoon the boiler of the rioe mill on the Re
cess Plantation on Back river opposite the oity,
saddenly exploded, killing nine negroes out
right, mortally wounding two more, and inflict
ing serious wounds upon others who were stand
ing near. Sinoe the accident, the two severely
wounded negroes have died, making eleven hu
man beings that have perished by this sad cas
ualty. The primary cause of the explosion we
have not yet learned. It was probably an acci
dent that oonld hardly have been prevented.
A Precocious Youno Negro Soahf.—We saw
yesterday, at the United States Circuit Court
rooms, a young negro boy named Jo Simmons,
who was upon bis trial for robbing the United
States mail. The young scoundrel, who ia but
twelve yean old, exhibited some little inge
nuity in the manner by which the robberies
were effected. He would affix a crooked pin
to a thin stiek, by the aid of which he fished
many letters out of boxes in the post offioe in
this city. On his way to the Court room yester
day he remarked to the offioer who had him in
•barge, “I don’t keer a d—n what dey does wid
me,” and from his appearance we imagine he
told the honest truth.
The Constitution, of yesterday, has the fol
lowing items:

bacon, dear ribbed bulk, by a firm in this city
on yesterday, at 1CJ cents.
Lewis Sohofield, of Atlanta, who was nomi

We clip tiie following from the Albany News,

Bartering Liberty and Honor fob Petti
Places.—We are pained to. learn that, in some'
of the oonnties in Southwestern Georgia, indi
viduals are bartering away the Democratic
Congressional candidate, and in aome instances
the Legislative candidates, for the petty oonnty
offices. They trade with Whitely, or his agents,
and stipulate to vote for him in consideration
that tho negro vote is influenced in their favor
for Sheriff, Clerk, Tax Collector, Receiver, or
Coroner, as the case may be.
Now snoh creatures cannot be Democrats,
much less patriots, and the true men of the
counties thus about to be sold out, should mark
them and denounce them. They are unworthy

and should be at onoe exposed and sent adrift
to the very bottom of public scorn and indigna
tion. ' ,
It is to just such traitors in the Democratic
camp that we are indebted for many of the evils
that are upon ns; the
one to onr cause an J
the blatant and avowed
is regarded as a public enemy, knd confidence
is withheld, while the former is a secret spy and
informer—deceiving his neighbors with protes
tations of fidelity to Democracy, only to obtain
its plans and purposes, as so much stock in trade
with whioh to purchase favor from the opposi

The Paris journals publish a strong appeal to
the Government, the substance of whicn is
as follows: You know every army of relief is a
phantom. The provinces come to the help of
Paris, and you ought to confess the truth, ton
know it is impossible to ont through the Prus
sian lines so that the garrison may reaoh the
Loire. To get provisions for such a sortie yOa
must win a great battle, which, with your prest
ent army, you cannot do. Rochefort writes it
answer to a question whether he had really rei
signed—“yes, on the first of November, and I
have never thought of withdrawing my resig
nation.” Louis Blano publishes an address to
the defenders of Paris, congratulating them on
the failure of the armistice. He says they can
not and ought not to treat with the enemy
whilst occupying Frenoh soil. No regret is ex
pressed that the Assembly is not called. Le
Temps, of the 15th, says: Beef will wholly fail

ing of his remaining in Paris—which is the
only dispatch that has arrived since the begin

reception of Archbishop Spalding was a mag
nificent affair. There were nearly twenty thou
sand in the prooession. The colored Gatholios
in the prsoession were quite a feature, and their

The World’s correspondent adds: Our first
line of defense, fifteen hundred yards from the
Prussian outposts, oonsists of impregnable in-
trenchments constructed on the road beyond

Nov. 2, 1869: “Three friends met one day in the

viz: that nothing agreed with «». We diacnj>ed
medicines. One had tried blue pills, another ei-
traetof dandelion, another almost every variety of
purgatives. In fact, we had made apotheauin'
shops of onr insides; but nothing had done ujisj
good. I said I wondered if your Plantation Bitten
would help ns ray. After some talk we conolnded
to try it, and meet again at the same plue that
day month, to compare notes. We did so. It wm
a jovial meeting, I can tell you. We scarcely knew
one another. Each had gained flesh; each report,
