From Mexico.
Correspondence Telegraph and Messenger.!
Mexico, April 11,1873.
LEAVING VEKA CBUZ.
One p. m. found all aboard the car,
made for and used by the Empeior Max-
imilliau, and out we went through one of
the gates of the city, into the suburbs
filled with the m06t wretched abodes of
native Mexicans imaginable. These hov
els appeared more fit for lairs of wild
beasts than habitations of human beings.
Out'of this, we entered the Mexican
Chaparal—a growth quite familiar to the
old veterans of the Mexican army. This
is a close, dense, gnarled, interlocked,
impenetrable growth, some ten or twelve
feet high, and can only be penetrated so
far as you cut your way. Emerging from
this, we entered a barren, undulating
country, covered in a great measure with
stones and scoria of volcanic origin—mis
erably poor, dry and worthless. 'Tho
road has a moderate gradient, and the
country visibly changing for the better.
Arrive at Camaron, forty miles, in good
time, and are here met. by United States
Minister John W. Foster and Luis G.
Bossero, an agent of the Mexican govern
ment. These intelligent accessions to
onr party aided much to while away the
monotony of travel by their general con-
versation, pointing out and explaining
localities and places of interest, and giv
ing valuable information regarding the
country, crops, resources, etc.
Fifty-three miles bring us to
ATOTAC PASS.
It is a narrow gorge of surpassing
beauty, through which pass tho old na
tioual road and the railroad. On our left
is an immpnse mountain poak rising al
most perpendicular—the road hugging
closely tho gorge on the right, while deep
in the ravine below runs a beautiful clear
stream, leaping over a frightful cascade
then foaming and dashing through its
narrow embattlemcnts out into the plains
below. Tho national road passes under
the railroad, following the mountain side
a short distance, tbenco turning to the
left, crosses the chasm by an immense
arched stone bridge. This being a strong
placo of defence, is generally the first
point of resistance made by tho Mexican
army against an invading force, tho mag
nificent bridge being sacrificed in every
contest.
Coming out of this pass on a heavy
grade we approach the beautiful
COFFEE PLANTATIONS.
Here is where tho American colony.
General Price and others, settled immo
diately after the war. The colony has
broken up and left. The causo of their
failure, to the uninitiated, would be dif
ficult of eolation; for better lauds, more
liberal productiveness and fascinating
climate would be hard to combine in any
one locality.
Wo are now passing through the fine
Cordoba coffee estates. The lauds are
very rich, lie well and ate passably well
cultivated. Coffee culture is profitable,
easily managed, requiring no great skill,
tho greatest labor and care being requir
ed in picking and preparing the berry.
The coifoa raised hors ia of a superior
qnality, and in tho judgment of connois
seurs, preferable to the best old Java.
Pressing onward up heavy grades, we
reach the Fortin station, and at G p. u.
hauled up for the night at
OEIZABA.
The city lies to tho right of the road
and makes some pretentions to manufac
turing and mechanical enterprise; for we
found running, large flouring mills, a re
spectable cotton factory, and the machine
shops of tho railroad, besides several
other small mechanical industries. The
city is nestled at the foot of the Orizaba
range which lies on the west, terminating
on the east at tho pass, by a bold, bar
ren peak. On this peak was stationed a
Afexican force when the French advanced
anditbeoame necessary to dislodge it be
fore they could proceed.
For four long weeks the French forces
worked day and night, cutting into the
almost perpendicular mountain side a
road from base to summit, continually
under fire from the Mexicans. At an
angle of this cut near the foot of the
mountain is erected an immense white
cross, and on the summit a black one.
Tho one at the starting point denoting
high hopes and determination, and that
at tho terminus immense sorrow and
death, mingled with their final triumph.
We found acceptable quarters at the
Diligence Hotel, and passable provis
ions for the inner wants. Instinct, how
ever, prompted orders to be given for
breakfast at the restaurant adjoining the
depot. It wa3 a sensible forethought
and a decided improvement on the fare
of the preceding night.
We are now 32 miles from Ycra Cruz,
and at elevation of 4000 feet. Here the
ascent commenced in earnest, and to
meet its requirements we find our car at
tached to a 75-ton doublo-cnder with four
cylinders and twelve driving-wheels—a
monster
FAIULES ENGINE.
To give a faint idea of tho hoarded
pressure on the various parts of the boil-
era and cylinders of these machines when
in full service, I will say it exceeds thirty
millions of pounds.
At 7 a. m. arc off—winding through the
pass—up grades, mush of which are four
per cent, until we enter
SIALTBATA VALLEY,
which i3 like passing into the open end
of a big horseshoe. At first sight there
appears only one way of exit—that is to
take the branch track. The mountains
rise in towering height around. We
proceed by making a detour to the right,
striking the mountain’s base, clamber
ing into it3 sides and tunnelling a sharp
spur, then crossing a gorge on tho best
of iron bridges and circling to the right
and left, running at every point of the
compass, on curves of 323 feet radius,
and grades of over 211 feet per mile, and
then repeating in rapid succession the
tunnels, bridges, curves, etc. A large
part of tho road is cut into the almost
perpendicular mountain side.
THE KOAD
is as secure as the best of material and
human ingenuity can make it—heavy
steel rails, an extra guard rail at all
short curves—the rails accurately curved,
heavy iron rods, at short distances, con
fine the road bed from spreading, the
outer rail elevated to the highest practi
cable point, and a faithful walchman
every three hundred yards.
At eight miles we halt for water, and
find ourselves.
1,500 FEET ABOVE THE VALLEY
and within a rifle shot of Maltrata depot.
To one wanting confidence in the sur
roundings the position looks fearful; for
an accident that would precipitate the
train from tho track would bring sure de
struction to everybody and everything.
Col. Scott, how does this compare
with tho crossing of tho Sierra Nevada ?”
“Tho scenery, the difficulties, and the
work on the Sierra Nevada are child’s
play, and tame, compared with this,” re
plied the man, who of all others is best
qualified to judge.
We proceed—curving and rising. _ All
conversation ceases; for tho mind is so
absorbed in taking in these magnificent
surroundings—crossing fearful chasms—
sliding through or under shelving rocks
—overhanging precipices—looking down
which makes the strong shudder, until
finally turning to tho right, through a
narrow chasm, wo emerge upon the great
Mexican plateau, at eight thousand feet
elevation, alighting at
JJOCHA DEL MONTE,
(tho mouth of tho mountain). My me
chanical enthusiasm prompted mo to ca
ress the now docile monster that has so
majestically performed such a Hercula-
nean task.
We arc now 107i mile3 from Vera Cruz
and 156 from tho City of Mexico. A short
delay and we proceed, drawn by an ordi
nary fonr driving-wheeled engine. Tho
CHEAT ALTITUDE ,
is sensibly felt, having been too sudden
for tho system to adapt itself to, the
change. The grades being now moder
ate, fair time is made, and in due time
we haul up at Apizaco to dinner. A Tel
egraphic ordtr from Orz3aba in the morn
ing gave them time to moke a royal
spread.
Dr. Shelton, Consul at Mexico, joined
us here. The party was in the best pos
sible condition to enjoy a feast, which in
its fullest sense was set before us. Hero
we were introduced into the mysterions
fascinations of the Mexican.
NATIONAL DEINK—PULQUE.
It was reported as of a superior qual
ity. Each one’s gloss was filled and the
suggestion given that all prepare to
drink. I think less than a gill satisfied
all the raw recruits, and as time was too
precious to devote to cultivating anap-
petite for the vile drink; it was unani
mously set aside. It is of a pale white
color, of sharp acrid taste, ropy and re
pulsive.
This table or plateau is
A MAGNIFICENT DOMAIN,
most of the land of a superior quality—
black, rich, and very productive. But
the tillage is slovenly; agricultural im
plements imperfect, clumsy, and of obso
lete pattern and contrivance. They en
cumber anddepress production-are waste
ful and extravagantly uneconomicaL Im
mense fields of wheat are harvested with
tho hook and the grain trod out by a
swarm of diminutive donkeys. With a
high, systematic, energetic improved form
of agriculture, this valley would support
an empire.
We are now running into the
HEART OP THE GBSAT PULQUE DISTE1CT.
- The plant is a spezies of cactu3 called
Haguay, and i3 the veritable century
plant. The plants are set out about 20
feet apart each way, and coinc to perfec
tion the third year. Small plants are set
between these rows the second year to
make the crop continuous. It attains a
diameter and height of some six or eight
feet, and brings forth in its centre a head
or bulb nearly os large as a peck measure.
At a certain stage of its growth this
head is uncapped, and tho milky secre
tions dipped out. This process is daily
repeated until the plant becomes ex
hausted. It is said the value of each
plant is about twenty dollars. The
leaves are used for cordage and matting.
If we entertained an uncontrolable dis
gust for the drink, a3 presented with
pleasant surronndings, it was fearfully
intensified when stopping at
AT AM,
sixty miles from Mexico, and the ship
ping center of the city’s daily supply,
where it was prepared ready for the cars
and transportation.
Here, piled upon long platforms was
at least 100 tons—less than ono-half the
quantity in casks—the remainder in hog
and sheep shins. Tho legs were cut off at
about the knees and tied with strong
twine, and the front and rear embrasures
secured by the same method. The
liquid, occasionally oozing thxongh some
insecure fastening kept the whole in a
slimy, repugnantly filthy condition which
added to its jelly-like tremnloas moving,
and paunchy appearance, made a specta
cle ludicrous and repulsive ia the ex
treme.
We are now on the border of the
MEXICAN VALLEY
proper, and on a very light down grade
approaching the city. Much of the land
is well cultivated and all being capable
of high productiveness. Objects of cu
riosity and interest pass in a panoramic
view rapidly before us. When near the
waters of Lake Tezcuco, two immense
pyramidical mounds about a half mile
distant are pointed oat as the sun and
moon of Aztec worship. It is an undenia
ble fact that wc are m the land and home
of the ancient Aztcc3. The imagination
is m a whirl. The Aztec reign and
splendor—Cortes’ chivalric march and
conquest—tho once proud and haughty
empire falls at the feet of the conqueror,
the immense sacrifice of life—beauty and
booty—all pass in rapid review. The
suburban cottages, churches, and shrines
flit rapidly by ns, and at 4 p. m. we are in
the city of Mexico. C. A. N.

Daniel Drew (commonly called Uncle
Daniel) is an illustration of financial and
social change. He is now old, infirm, and
much shattered in mind and body, but in
his prime he was a man of great nerve
and physical strength. Only such a man
could have endured the long life of toil,
care, excitement and anxiety to which he
ha3 been subjected. Having begun his
business career as a showman with a me
nagerie, and then advanced to the sta
tion of a tavern keeper, he came into
Wall street in full manhood as a member
cf the firm of Drew, Eobinson & Co.
Bohinson was the pillar of the concern,
and was Drew's instructor in the myste
ries of the street. He died eighteen years
ago, leaving nearly a million, and his son
is now one of the banking firm of Botin-
son, Chase & Co., who act as Drew’s
agents. Drew has had a varied experi-
eince Eobinson’s death. He has
been at one time rich enongh to gbre
§500,000 to found a seminary, and then
he has teen on the verge of bankruptcy.
At present reports of his failure are rife,
and I should not be surprised at anytime
to hear of their confirmation. It looks
badly to see this old man clinging to
stock gaming up to his last days. He can
not give up his interest in Toledo and
Wabash, which he had purchased when it
was 73, on speculation. Its heavy de
cline (being now 15) has no doubt had
the effect to impair his health as well as
his purse.—New Torlc Letter.
Regularity or Ocean Passages.
In this bupy age, when Europe and
America are closely joined by mercantile
ties, it becomes daily more necessary that
ocean steamers should not only be swift,
bnt also so regular in their passages from
port to port that the traveler stepping on
board at New York can tell within a few
hours when he will arrive at Queenstown
or Liverpool. Our attention has been at
tracted to this subject by the perusal of
a statement of tho passages of the new
Inman steamships City of Chester (4,5GG
tons) and City of Bichmond (4,607 ton3,)
covering the whole of the year 18/4,
when the vessels were subjected to all
the different phases of tho variablo At

This table shows that in no case was
either of these steamers nine days in
going from New York to Queenstown;
so that a passenger embarking on the
City of Chester or City of Bichmond
conld make an appointment to dine with
a friend in London ten days later, with a
certainty of keeping it. This remarka
ble regularity is no doubt a result of the
superior size and weight of the steamers
as compared with those built years ago,
together with the increased power of the
machinery which drives the enormous
vessels through the water steadily, and
with irresistible force.
H. V. Eedpield, who does the Cincin
nati Commercial’t Southern correspond
ence, writes in a recent letter from Chat
tanooga that there “arc counties in loyal
East Tennessee where half the whites
are Bepublicans, (or were before tho
civil rights bill passed,) where a negro
has never been chosen on a jury, grand
or petit, or even a Coroner’s jury, or
summoned cn a Sheriff's posse, or ap
pointed a road overseer, or selected or
deputized as a constable, or chosen as a
Justice of the Peace,-or as a judge or
clerk of an election, or oven employed as
a jail guard.” All of which is very sad.
A Florentine journal, tho Fpoea, now
says that General Grant will with his
own hands placo the beretta on “Moklo-
ky’s” head. It» well to know tho news
of the day.
HEXORIAI, DAT.
A Splendid Tribute to Patriotism.'
Possibly the largest crowd that ever
assembled at Bose Hill Cemetery was
there Monday afternoon, to pay the usual
annual tribute of respect to the memory
of the Confederate soldiers who are inter
red there. Business was almost if not
entirely suspended in the city, and by
o’clock the people, en masse, male and
female, Gentile and Jew, began to torn
their steps to the cemetery, and nntil
nearly four o’clock the stream was kept
up. All the avenues leading to the
stand at the head of the soldiers’ ceme
tery were jammed. All the sitting and
standing room in the immediate neigh
borhood wa3 occupied, and when there
was room for no more within hearing dis
tance, the people scattered in hundreds
about through the cemetery.
The young ladies and many of the
young men and youths bore flowers with
them to he used in decorating the graves,
and servants went out laden with flowers
and evergreens nntil there was barely
one of the nine hundred graves that wa3
not to some extent decorated. We have,
perhaps, seen a greater profusion of
flowers on such an occasion, hut have
never seen them more evenly and judi
ciously distributed. Among others who
brought floral gifts were tho orphan girls
from Appleton’s Home, who, in charge of
the kind ladies who have tho care of
them, came in a body, each hearing a
little basket of flowers, which were laid
upon graves where none had been laid
before. Their tribute was tenderest of
all, for possibly many of them were made
orphans by the same war which created
soldiers’ cemeteries all over the land,
The four local companies of the Second
Georgia Battalion of Volunteers turned
out under the command of Major George
S. Jones. They all turned out unusually
large numbers of men, the Volunteers
having over 50, and we believe none under
40. The battalion was formed shortly
after 3 o’clock, and marched to the cem
etery. Arriving there, they stacked arms
outside the dense crowd and then formed
in as much order as possible along the
avenue passing in front of tho speaker’s
stand. The young ladies of Wesleyan
Female College were then marched down
in a body and stationed immediately in
front of the stand. They opened the ex
ercises with singing the following:
SONG FOR DECORATION DAY.
We visit the graves of our soldiers to-day,
While Nature is robed with the fceautv of May
We’ll carry of flowers the brightest with care.
Of tender affection the emblems so fair.
Of tender affection the emblems so fair.
Thooeh strangers with comrades lie mineled in
sleep.
The soil where they rest we will sacredly keep;
For in the great conflict they stood side by side.
Together they fought and together they died.
Together they fought and together they died.
Now anthems of praise end thanksgiving wesing.
While garlands and wreaths in profusion we
bring -,
And thousands will bless, from each station in
life.
The gallant and noble who fell in the strife.
The gallant and noble who fell in the strife.
Then, after a fervent prayer by Eev. W.
H. McIntosh, D. D., pastor of the First
Baptist Church, the young ladies sang “Let
us Pass Over the Eiver,” a hym suggest
ed by tho memorable dying words of
Stonewall Jackson. The singing
under the direction of Professor Whit
ney, and was well done.
Mr. Washington Dessau, the orator of
the day, was then introduced by Mr.
John P. Fort, and appearing in the uni,
form of the Macon Volunteers, to which
company he belongs, ho spoke as follows;
This hallowed spot, these solemn faces,
and theso flowers, proclaim tho purpose
of our assembling. We are here in this
temple of the firmament to render a trib
ute of honor to tho memory of our coun
try’s dead.
Ours is not tho purpose to perpetuate
national hostility. The society whose
organ I am, the thousands of Southrons
who to-day are engaged in similar devo
tions, entertain no such object. It is
purer, nobler, higher. The twenty-sixth
of April, and the monument which on
some future day in this vicinity will be
reared, are celebrations of love and pa
triotism. We wish tho foundations of
that monument may he laid far down in
our hearts, and that its inscriptions may
bo ever on our lips. Wo wish that in all
time to come it may stand the reverence
of every lover of liberty. We wish that
infant minds from maternal lips shall
learn its history and its aim. We wish
that our citizens in tho midst of the la
bor and cares of life may gaza upon it
and bo stimulated anew. We wish that
strangers from foreign lands viewing its
towering shaft may feel how strong that
country is whose lovo lies so deep in tho
souls of its people. And lastly, wo wish
that tho great God of nations may bless
it with eternal duration—an emblem of
the sacred veneration with which the peo
ple of the South regard those who died in
her defence.
Tho local associations by which we are
surrounded are eminently appropriate.
Men clad m arms have come to mourn
tho death of heroes; matrons and maid
ens, who in times of war ministered to
the weary and wounded, have come in
times of peace to decorato their graves;
the bright sky, tho warm sun, the glo
rious rebirth of nature all felicitate the
occasion and th9 sentiments which are
swelling in our breasts.
When the struggle between the States
began, Southern men were compar
ative strangers to war. A few
had distinguished them^lves upon
the plains of Mexico, and in desultory
conflicts with the Indians. Saving these,
we were subjects of peace. Agriculture
had become the occupation of the vast
majority of our inhabitants ; Southern
hospitality, open and refined, marked onr
happy aim; Southern society and South
ern manners, which had become the de
light of the civilized world, bore testi
mony that no fierce lust for battle had
tainted our blood. No Spartan rigor bad
knotted our musclos for war; no Bomon
conquests had fired us with an ambitious
thirst for dominions. We were living
for the prosperity of our Government
at home, and the honor of its institutions
abroad. Bom of freemen who had sanc
tified their love for right iu tho flame of
battle, we were striving to emulate in
peace tho glory they had won in war.
Not tho connection between the mother
and her unborn infant was closer and
more vital than that which existed be
tween the Southern citizen and his coun
try. Ho saw tho red hand of oppression
lower upon tho object- of his devotion,
and with filial instinct ho bared his bos
om in her defence. Inspired with a
conviction, they poured out their gen
erous blood like water before they
knew whether it would fertilize a land of
freedom or of bondage. Who shall
recount tho deeds of valor wrought? Tho
West cm Empire had her legions famed
in tho battles of antiquity; France, her
Old Guard who had fought victorious at
tho gate of nearly every government in
Continental Europo; England, her armies
who had won for her dominions upon
which tho sun in his course never sots;
the South, her citizen soldiery to whose
chivalry a thousand fields bear witness;
whose blood a thousand streams has
stained; whoso, courage was invincible
be’caus'o its source was divine.
' The great wheel of war had begun .to
move in the South. Its 'rotation was
rapid and impetuous. It whirled along
with fearful celerity/till at length, like
the chariots in the races of antiquity, it
took fire from the rapidity of its own
motion, and blazing onward, spread ter
ror and conflagration around. Oar people
were in arms. Battle followed battle in
quick succession. Four long and ardu
ous years the struggle continued. The
ordinary occupations of life were aban
doned. ” For tho sickle and the plow, the
citizen assumed thesiffrd; wives gave
up their husbands, mothers gave up
their sons to the cause of their country,
until nearly every woman in the land
was either the wife of a hero or the
mother of a Gracchi. For a brief period
during this havoc of life and fortune,
victory seemed to crown ns with success.
The flag of the field and cross hod ad
vanced into theenemy’8 country; fora
time it waved triumphant, then it fell,
and with it onr hopes went down.
More than ten years ago, upon a bright
morning in April, the Southern army sur
rendered the Southern cause to them vic
torious enemy. The roar of battle was
hushed; the measured tread of the sent
inel no longer broke upon the midnight
air; the watch-fires were extinguished;
the last general order had been issued; a
gray-haired chieftain in silence delivered
up his word; the common soldiers laid
down their arms, and to their homes
those survivors returned, defeated bnt
not dishonored. O! Liberty, if in the
immortal record of thy defenders, there
be reserved an honored page, whose
names shall fill it rather than these heroes ?
Whose hearts beat higher in thy cause ?
Whose arm3 struck stronger blows for
thee than theirs? With more than hu
man devotion they worshipped thee, and
yet thou wast denied them! Those who
fell, died with thy name upon their lips;
those who live, live still for thee !
Fellow-citizens, it is worse than folly
to support with words a cause that was
vindicated in arms. Wherever the
Southern flag was seen the whole world
knew that liberty preceded, and a brave
people followed it. Ours the high, en
nobling duty to honor them. They died
for us—what hand would fail to place a
flower where they now rest. Dying, they
bequeathed to us an heritage richer in its
results than all the wealth of tho East.
War for liberty and tho blood of brave
men, the progenitor of patriotism ; auff
every tear which to-day is shed on yonder
graves, is a new, perennial fountain from
which shall flow a blessed lovo of our
country. Becognized and ordained by
the law of the land, the remembrance of
this day is destined to live forever in the
hearts of Southern people. And we
come in response to a sentiment that ele
vates the heart and strengthens the ties
which bind us to the institutions of our
fathers. Simple indeed are those graves.
But they—they are tho Meccas of our
land 1 where pilgrim feet each year do
stand, and pilgrim hands to God are
raised.
This is no idle gathering of spectators.
Wo stand hero to-day, solemnizing the
medium through which our country shall
rise to honor and prosperity. It is true
that the hopes and ambitions of the past
have notyet been achieved; but for us and
our posterity there remains a gloriou s com
pensation. Hereshall our high resolves be
planted, and out of the graves of onr war
rior-dead shall rise a spirit which no hu
man agency can destroy; each recurring
year fond devotions shall purify and
quicken it; from its ‘far-reaching vitali
ty all freemen shall draw inspiration and
love; and together hand in hand with
one common aim, make onr land the
home of liberty and of peace.
O! my countrymen, Southern soil is
indeed dear to us. We all remember that
when the Hebrew prophet prayed, he
knelt towords the cast; when the bell
tolls the hour for noonday prayer, tho
moslem turns towards the shrine of Ma-
hommed; and when our hearts yearn for
our country and her hopes, wo shall here
repair, and with the first flowers of spring
invoking the blessings of God, with ten
der hands wejshalljadorn the grass grown
graves, tho resurrection ground of Amer-
can glory.
Let us then feel that ia commemora
ting our dead, we are laying tho founda
tions of our future welfare- Let us feel
that though the cause for which we
struggled was lost, wo were not altogeth
er defeated. Let us feel that there is in
us a deathless determination to discharge
the duties God ha3 alloted us ; and that
in harmony and bloodless rivalry we will
toil for the honor of our institutions.
Upon the roll of nations we shall fill an
exalted position. We will show to the
world that as there is glory in success
there is a glory in defeat. From the fire
and the storm of war there shall arise
the fruits and blessings of peace. And
these shall he the harvests which xn tho
grandeur of their reaping shall redeem
the tears and blood in which they were
sown.
At the close of the address, the report
of the financial condition of the Monu
mental Association was read by Mr. Fort,
after which tho crowd was dismissed
with the benediction by Bev. H. E Bees,
rector of St. Paul’s church.
The battalion was then reformed and
marched down to the soldiers’ graves and
fired three volleys in honor of the dead.
The firing was in excellent order, and
the guns speaking as one their testimony
of the heroism of these above whose dust
the service was being performed.
The battalion then marched hack to
the city, and the vast crowd turned its
steps homeward. All were fatigued, hut
satisfied that they had no more than
done their duty in observing a day that
is set apart by custom and by law for an
exhibition of public appreciation of that
highest order of patriotism which con
strains one to die for his country. The
'cause” may he dead, but the memory .of
the men who died for the cause can never
perish, and these memorial days will
serve to keep alive a chivalrous love of
valor, and make brave men of tho gener
ations that are yet to people the South.
Messrs. Wlnshlp Ac Callaway-
These gentlemen claim theirs to be the
oldest clothing establishment in Georgia.
In addition, we know that they have no
superior in the extent, variety and ele
gance of their wares. The word shoddy
is not in their vocabulary. Cheap and
substantial goods they have, for the
trade, and to suit the purses of the poor,
but nothing shoddy.
Their specialties, however, are gentle
men’s and youth’s fashionable apparel,
made of the best material and in the
very latest style. Difficult and whimsical
indeed must be that taste which could
fail to be suited after looking over the
piles of garments which are so invitingly
displayed.
We shall enter into no enumeration,
as the task would be tedious and almost
endless. Let it suffice to mention that
almost every article essential to a gen
tleman’s toilet in hosiery, under vest
ments, dress and frock coats, pants, vests,
cravats and neckties, all of the choioest
description, may be had by the retail
customer, or at wholesale to country mer
chants and the trade. As to price and
terms, go and see for yourselves, and do
not doubt that they will not be under,
sold.
More About the Murder of Colouel
Jones.
Oar correspondent at Dawson sends us
the following additional particulars of
the murder of Col. Jno. B. Jones. We
think, from what our correspondent
writes, and what he intimates that the
authorities have in all probability gotten
hold of men who are at least implicated
in the great crime:
Dawson, Ga., April 28,1875,
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Much
excitement is manifested here this morn
ing over recent discoveries made from
the killing of J. B. Jones. It seem3 two
young men, Bowen and Jackson, who had
been in the employ of Jones are the par
ties suspected. They have been arrested
and are now having their preliminary
trial. It is said a negro had been hired
by Bowen to kill Jones, and after re
canted and moved to Webster county and
told it there to a white man, who did not
give any credit to the report. All this
was before Jones was kiilod.
Other discoveries have been made
which it is not considered advisablo to
mention now. hut it is the opinion of all
that these young men ore the parties
who committed the foul murder.
Personal.
The Falmouth, Ky., Independent, a
weekly Democratic paper, in its issue of
the 13th, contains the following with ref
erence to Mr. Clark, tho Assessor of In
ternal Eovenue for this district:
We are informed that a gentleman
named McClusky, residing in Georgia,
has written a letter to a relative in
Frankfort, asking information as to tho
antecedents of Alvin B. Clark, formerly
of Falmouth. This is the place to get the
information desired, as Mr. Clark and his
brothers were raised in this town, and,
from boyhood up there is not a blemish
against their character or the character
of their family. We suppose tho infor
mation was wanted to be used against
Mr. Clark officially. Wo can inform all
inquirers that, irrespective of party, the
best people in this State will cheerfully
testify to tho high standing of
Mr. Clark and his brothers. Mr.
Clark has resided in Georgia since
18GG, and, we presume, has
conducted himself as creditably as he did
at hi3 old home, or why should Mr. Mc-
Closky not ho able to find something to
be used against him in the State where
he has resided nine years. We are glad
to have an opportunity to make thi3
statement, knowing that those who know
Mr. C. best will fully concur in what we
have said. If he desires testimonials as
to his good character his many old friends
hero are ready to respond.
Mr. Clark has been in this city two
years or more, and has mingled very
freely with our people. His conduct lias
been uniformly gentlemanly and polite,
and wo have had opportunities—which
the public have not had-of judging of
tho fairness^ of his dealings with those
that by virtue of his office ho was brought
into contact with. The business men of
Macon are satisfied, with his manner of
doing business.

The Grand Boyal Arch Chapter of Ma

sonic Temple in this city. The attend
ance is not quite so large as usual, only
about seventy-five being present. They
met yesterday and will continue in ses
sion throughout to-day, probably ad
journing this evening.
The Chapter yesterday renewed its al
legiance to the General Grand Chapter
of the United States, which was severed
at the outbreak of the war. Efforts have
been made at every meeting since the
war to re-establish the connection, but
without avail heretofore.

Unusual Promptness.
The following card from Mr. Felix Cor-
put conveys the highest possible compli
ment to tho Georgia Homo Insurance
Company, and also to its local represen
tative, Capt. W. W. Carnes. We do not
call to mind another instance in which
the adjustment and payment of a loss
has been made within the short space of
eight day3 after the occurrence of a fire:
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: On
Sunday, April 18th, a frame dwelling
owned by me, and insured in the Georgia
Home Insurance Company for §1,000, was
consumed by fire. On Monday (the fol
lowing day) I notified Capt. W. W.
Carnes, and left the matter in his hands.
Tho company sent an adjustee at once,
and on Monday, April 26, (just one week
after notice) Capt. Carnes handed me
tho company’s check for the amount of
tho loss. I make this statement through
your valuable paper to do justice to a
reliable homo company and a prompt
agent. Felix Corput.

Thanks “ From the Depths of the
Heart.”
W ellinoton. Losing Co., O., 1
August 24,1874. J
Dr. B. Y. Piercs, Buffalo, S. Y.:
Dear Sir—Your medicines. Golden Med
ical Discovery, Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Rem
edy, have proved of the greatest service
to mo. Six months ago no one thought
that I could possibly live long. I had a
complication of diseases—scrofula, man
ifesting itself in eruptions and great
blotches cn my head that made sueli
sores that I could not have my hair
combed without cansing mo much suf
fering ; also causing swollen glands, ton
sils enlarged, enlarged or “thick neck,”
and largo and numerous boils. I also
suffered from a terrible chronic catarrh,
and in fact I was so diseased that life'
was a burden to me. I had tried many
doctors with co benefit. I finally procured
one-half dozen bottles of your Golden
Medical Discovery and one dozen Sage’s
Catarrh Bemedy and commenced their
use. At first I wae badly discouraged,
but after taking four bottles of the Dis
covery I began to improve, when I had
taken the remaining I was well. In ad
dition to the use of Discover; I applied a
solution of iodine to the goitre or thick
neck, as yon advise in pamphlet wrap
ping, and it entirely disappeared. Your
Discovery is certainly the most wonder
ful blood medicine ever invented. I
thank God and you, from the depths of
my heart, for the great good it has done
me. Very gratefully,
Mrs. L. Chaffee.
Most medicines which are advertised as
blood purifiers and liver medicines con
tain either mercury, in some form, or po
tassium and iodine variously combined.
AU these agents have'strong tendency to
break down the blood corpuscles, and de
bilitate and otherwise permanently in
jure the human system, an.-* should there
fore be discarded. Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery, on the other hand,
being camposed of the fluid extracts of
native plants, barks and roots, will in no
case produce injury, its effects being
strengthening and curative only. Sarsa
parilla, which used to enjoy quite a rep
utation as a blood purifier, is a remedy o!
thirty years ago, and may well give place
as it i3 doing, to the more positive and
valuable vegetable alteratives which
later medical investigation and discove
ry has brought to light. In Scrofula or
King’s Evil, ‘White Swelling?, Ulcers,
Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofu
lous Inflammations, Indolent Inflamma-
mation, Mercurial affection?, Old Sores,
Eruptions of tho Skin and Sore Eyes, as
in ,’all other blood diseases, Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery has shown its
great remedial power?, curing the most
obstinate and intractable cases. Sold by
all dealers in medicine.
Dr. Price's True Flavoring Extracts.
Vanilla, lsmon and all extracts used in
flavoring ioe cream, jellies, cakes, etc, are
acknowledged after a thorough trial by
the best housekeepers in the land to he
always as represented—bottles holding
half more than others sold for same size,
natural coloring, free from poisonous
oils, so concentrated that a small quanti
ty gives all the flavor required. Strange
that persons will use worthless extracts
when such natural flavors as Dr. Price’s
are to be had. They are really equal to
his celebrated Cream Baking Powder.
