At the elegant ana recherche supper, given roeently by President Hazlehnrst to his Augusta gnests and brother railroad magnates, it was oar fortnne to bo placed next to an honest conn toyman dad in home-made jeans, and guiltless of collar or cravat. When tho banquet began, and the magnificent tout ensemble of tho table, blazing witji light and glass and brilliant flowers, and groaning nnder every delicacy known to Parisian gastronomists, burst upon his vision, the effect was apparent upon onr rural friend. Bending over, he inquired, “Well, do this hotel feed this way all the time ?” Upon being quietly informed that this was a special enter tainment prepared for invited guests only, with a chuckle, he exclaimed, by jingo, “then I am in look. Bnt won’t they trouble mo ?” Assured to the contrary, to business he pro ceeded, and such a trencherman has seldom graced the mahogany of the Brown House.— Ham, chicken, bologna sausage, jellies,' ioe cream, strawberries, pound cake, oranges, sugar candy, nnts and coffee, all disappeared with marvelous celerity. Boon the popping of oorks and the merry gurgle of sparkling champagne claimed his attention, and he wanted to know if the “tipple was free too.” Satisfied on this point also, after imbibing a few glasses, he al lowed “thero would be some speechifying.— Ain’t I right, stranger—but how long be they going to keep it up.” We answered probably not later than midnight. ‘"All right,’ quoth Toney, “my train don’t start tell six o’clock, and I can set here with the last man of ’em.” Munching jelly cake and absorbing cham paigns, he sat an attentive auditor to all of the addresses, and when this deponent retired, was just finishing off his repast with a huge dish of spiced oysters. Now, who was the happiest man, the railroad President with his burden of honors and cares, or tins simple country clod-hopper, who had not a thought for the morrow, while enjoying, with a relish foreign to the sated epicure, tho choice viand3 spread forth in such profusion ? We trow the latter. New Books. We have received two more works on the Swedonborg creed, bnt must decline any criti cal notices of them. Onr paper is notihe ad vocate of aBy special scot or denomination, and when a similar publication was recently handed in it wa3 so stated, and the Writer refused to re view it Upon the earnest solicitation of the gentloman who presented it, and with the ex press understanding that if commented upon at all, it must be from the standpoint of an or thodox believer, the book was, however, subse quently noticed in these colamns in courteous and proper terms. Contrary to agreement, tho individual who bronght it then asked to be per mitted to reply, thns lotting down the bars for a polemical discussion of indefinite length, and interesting to but few. Of course the proposi tion was rejected, though tho request to pub lish his views in the form of an advertisement was granted. The gentleman afterwards ven- tillated himself through the Citizen, and we beg leave to refer him to tho same medium for the further propagation of his doctrines. We are are not to be seduced into any controversy of that nature. New Books.—Messrs. Brown & Co. send ns an installment of new books for mention in this issue. First oomes “Antercs,” by the author of “Guy Livingstone,” etc., one of the author’s charac teristically brilliant and original stories that will by no means pale the lustre won by his other achievements in the same line. “Married for Both Worlds," is the strange. Utlo of a story which i3 from the'press of Lee & Shephard, Boston. It Is the life of an actnal person, and was suggested to the author by a friend who had jnst finished reading Miss Phelps’ “Gates Ajar.” We think it will prove decidedly interesting in a quiet way. “Handbook of the Administrations of the United States,” i3 the title of the third volume, also from the prca3 of Lee & Shephard, Boston. It compromises a synoposis of the leading events in American political history from the inauguration of Washington down to the pres ent day, and will prove valuable as a reference book. ’ Thebe must be more harmony among the Democracy if they hope to w‘n tho next Presi dontial race. “Citizen” Eoosevelt want3 Jeff. Davis banged, as he is more of a murderer than Cole, more cruel than Mrs. Harris, more cow ardly than Foster, and more deceitfnl than Mrs. Fair. What will the Democratic Mrs. Grundy of the South say to tte sanguinary Robert ?— N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. The “Democratic Mrs. Grnndy of the South’ don’t know very much about “citizen” Roose velt, except, that after tho manner of third and fourth class New York city politicians he has unexpectedly found himself in Congress by vir tue of certain little arrangements with the chaps who fix np tho primary “slates.” Bnt if she knew ail about “citizen” Eoosevelt sho would merely say: “Citizen," thy bray botrayeth thy paternity. Whax'Ci.tssz3 Thkeeih op Jep?zeson\—One of tho Herald’s staff of reportorial ear-wigs ha3 been down to Long Branch to bo presented at Court, and after that ceremony was over, proceeded to business as follows: “While Jeff Davis is at large, Mr. President, will it not be difficult to allay Southern disaf fection ? Can ho not be arrested nnder the Ku- klnx law?” “Ho might bo imprisoned. Bnt what would be the use ? It would Le like seizing a news paper. It would only create sympathy for the sufferer, and inflame passions, now happily dy ing ont. Wo can’t affort to ■aims a inurra or jxtp. He will find Ills own level in dae time, and the Southern people will got tired of him. Besides," said the President, with a laugh, “Jeff is mak ing all the country republican. Let him go; he is a wasted candle and will make no fire.” Matters in Lee County. A reoent visit to Lee county enables 03 to re port a very good showing for at leaat 25 cents pound for cotton next fall—so far as the crop of that oonnty is concerned. Up to Monday last, it had rained ten days, and all the powers of negro muscle seemed nnlikely to prevail against the gathering fftxcea of General Grass, There was universal oomplaint on'this score, and an almost unanimous opinion that rain for the re mainder of the week wonld settle the question as to the greatest possible omonnt that bonld be raised in the oonnty. Nobody seemed to expect more than half a crop, in that event. Those whose crops were clean previous to the late, and still continuing, rains were compare lively well off, and hoped by hard work to keep ahead, bnt where the rain fonnd them sot yet out of thOigrass, ft Is “good-bye, John." The plant is small, of course, bnt, where it has had bad any sort of a showing, looks healthy and capable of great things, yet. Corn is exceedingly promising and much moro planted this, than last year. Opinions vary as to the yield of oats. Many fields have been badly damaged by rust, while others have not been harmed to any great extent. Perhaps the avorage judgment is favorable to a fair crop. Two weeks ago the prospect for a very fine yield was exceedingly promising. The dif ferenoo between the small grain acreage of this and that of last year, is about S3 per cent, in favor of the former. Not one-tenth of the commercial fertilizers used last year were pur chased this. The people are practising econo my in everything, and by next fall when they got a $125 a bag for ootton will to la a condi tion to hold on to some of the money, at least Chbistuh G'lucible.—Eev. L. F. W. Andrews has issued the prospectus of a new religious journal, of this title, (he first number of which will appear early in July. It is to he published semi-monthly in this city, and will be devoted, as the prospectus S3ys, to the support and de fence of the Bible doctrines of the “final holi ness and happiness of all men as understood and expounded by Hosea Ballon. Terms $2 a year in advance. Social. Pabtt and ScpTeb.—We beg to thank the Committee, Messrs. J. K. Porter, W. W. Johnson and W. D. Johnson for an invitation to attend a “social party and supper,” to be given by Stonewall Fire Company, No. 2, of Griffin, Woodruff’s Hall, to-night We regret not being able, to put in an appearance, and wish the Stonewall and all their guests a merry time. Eably Hale Peaches.—We are under obliga tions to Mr. E. T. Morton for 8 basket of this delicious variety of peaches. Wo are sorry to learn from him, however, that nnmbers are rot ting and falling from the trees, and that tho ex- co&ave tajn seems to have deprived them not only or much of their juiciness, but of their sweetness also. Pbesidest GkAXt sayg, Bpeakiig of the Ca bans-. “Time heals more wounds than medi cine, and patience is a very good spociffe.” What a pity the Southern whites are not Cubans. For them he ha3 only bayonet legislation, and a ma- hj|Mnt impatience that is a disgrace to oiviHaa- Anarchical France. The barricades which made a fortress of every street and bonle vard of the capital have scarcely been cleared away, and the city thrown open to traffic, and the peaceful pursuits of life, ere we see the Frenoh Assembly again made the theatre of agitation and revolntion, and steps are taken to investigate, the acts and administration of President Thiers. Such proceedings axe usually the rapid precursors of decisive, and perhaps bloody hetion on the part of this volatile people. Already, too, the scions of royalty are press ing their claims to seats in the Assembly, and who will be surprised, before the lapse of month, to see the house of Orleans again invest ed with the crown and soeptre, and the streets ringing with the load acclaim of vice leroi. In the meantime the astute ex-Emperor back- cd, it may be, by the wily Bismarck and the pleasant memories connected with his long and glorions reign, will not remain a passive specta tor of the seizure of tho hereditary rights and dominions of the Prince Imperial. The new royal regime, therefore, if snocessfcl, cannot hope long to enjoy its new power and dignities unmolested. If the forlorn refugee from For tress Ham, and the impecunious adventurer abroad, possessed tact and skill sufficient to surmount the almost impregnable barriers athwart his pathway to the imperial pnrple, suro- ly the chances atpresent are infinitely more fav orable for the resnmption of his lost prestige and authority. Wo arc free to confess, that in the judgment of tho writer, the only hope for permanent peaoe and tranquility to this distracted country, is based npon the restoration of the Napoleonic dy nasty. Let anarchy, misrule and bloodshed work ont this sad mission, and an afflicted people will sigh for the repose which the strong arm and glittering bayonets of their Emperor once af forded them. A people unable to rule themselves' require the protection and control of a master. Long live Napoleon! The Itniing Race at Washington and “the Damned Yankee Contractors.” It seems from the news, yesterday, that the negroes at Washington City are s great deal stronger than the new government lately set np for the Territory of Columbia, and that they are emphatically, now, the ruling race, there, First they get np a strike because “the damned Yankea contractors” won’t pay them .$2.50 a day, when there are plenty of white men with hungry wives and children who are only too glad to work at $1.50 a day, and then when the. d y c’s hire these wlnte men the negroes inter rupt them, mob them and get up a riot, which the Washington police knowing very well upon which side their bread is battered, don’t sqaelch with any great degree of vim—a white mob, now, they know exactly how to handle—and yesterday we read that the Governor of the Territory had requested the. contractors to sus pend work so that the gentle creatures who have made all the disturbance may not have their tender sensibilities shocked by seeing white men taking bread ont of their months for $1.50 a day winch they—these trooly loil blacks— ought to be earning at $2.50 for the same pe riod! In a net shell the caso i3 thus stated and hardly needs comment, except as showing how legimate are the fruito of the tree planted at Washington by tho party in power since the war. They have been trying six years to make Sambo believe that he was a great deal belter than most white people—especially Southern •rebels and Northern copperheads. 'They have dandled, and fondled, and kissed, and hugged him &3 the incarnation of everything that was sweet, and lovely, and pnre and of good report until ho has concluded that ho is, sure enough and now that he governs the District, why shouldn’t he assert his superior rights? Why shouldn’t he have $2 50 or even $3 50 or $4 50 for a day’s work if he likes? Aint these “damned Yankee contractors" the mere crea tures of the officials who owo their places to hi3 vote? Let the white trash who are willing to work for $1 50 go find it somewhere else. Tboy are mostly Democrats, anyhow, and don’t de servo to have work so long as I—Sambo—tho ruler of thi3 fend, am not supplied on my own terms. • Well, to use a very slangy but very expressive pbrMe, we like such “chin music” as this negro, West, ana. hto fellows furnish. It is soothing, very. It bodwuogood to the d y o’s certainly, and indicates a biu* in the entente cordials between the carpet-baggtvg ana their dupes. Sambo has found ont that as n& ^ these chaps np he can pull them down, and that they recog nize the fact; also, Cooke’s request to tho ooa- tractors plainly shows. What will be the eno we know not, bnt if Sambo don’t allow himself to be Humbngged he’s master of the situation, and tho d y o’s too. Let him insist npon $2 50, or go even 50 cents better, and the d y o’s will have to knock under at last. ■ 1 . , ... . I WAHU TIKES FOR OJfE OF THK D£. THE GEORGIA PRESS.

The Herald, referring to the recent action of the Ohio Democracy and the late speeches of Mr. Davis, wishes to know: “Will the Demo crats of the Cotton States go with Davis or Val Iandigham ?” That question is easily answered. They will go with neither in the sense the Her ald means. They will go with the National Democracy upon any platform and for any men that may be selected as its exponents. If Mr. Davis and Mr. Vallandlgham are on that line then the Democrats of the Cotton States wifi have the pleasure of going with both of them. If not, not.
