Janrnal of Commerce Commissioner at the South.]
Letter from Silicon.
Macon, Ga., Juno 27, 1871.
OOIKO FCBTHEB SOUTH.
Leaving Atlanta for Macon w e rode to a place
rilli-d (inflia, some 40 miles distant, and made
a homely snpper before going further. The
cars ran slow—100 miles in eight hours—but
limn ibis was a slow train. Tho fact is that
even the fast trains do not make your head swim
„a account of their speed. They make, as a
mailer of great consequence, 20 miles an hour.
In my opinion, some of the railroads of the
.Smith nru only great in one particular, and that
ia tbs price of tickets for local travel. Let ns
! compare: New York to Washington, 200 miles,
K hours, $7 fiO; Augusta to Atlanta, 171 miles,
y> hours, ¥8 5(1. All rates down here are five
1 cents a mile, and the average speed of trains is
probably fifteen miles an hour.
On the route from Atlanta to Macon the road
is marked, on or near it, with frequent brick or
granite chimneys, against which wooden houses
have lieen limit. The chimney is erected first
and the house aftorwards, and the former always
| survives tho latter either after fire or deoay.
The country people along this route do not seem
to be overburdened with high ideas of architec
tural beauty in bnilding residences, bnt live in
shanties. Many who occupy these impromptn
dwellings are wealthy, and the theory of neces
sity, therefore, is not well grounded. Bnt a few
of the rich residents have fino gardens, vine-
j arils and hunting grounds. Arriving
AT MACON,
yon see it. but appear to go nronnd tho place
almnl three times, like a hawk encircling his
prey, before yon reach tho depot. Once landed,
yon find a busy place. A set of hiltazind plains,
.-ilsint Ibroo miles square, from tho city limits.
Tltcso confront oaoh other, and are blended in
beauty of scene and nninterosting business rou
tine. Tho people live on tho surrounding hills
in resiliences as comfortable and beautiful as
will ho found in the most modern northern
country bnsineas town. The new houses and
stores are built on the most approved modem
plans, with all the improvements. I believe
Taackoray said that Macon “looks like a city of
palacos.” Magnificent residences aro ninny in
number, and not a few are furnished at a cost
of small fortunes.
THE PEOPLE
arc tho kind to adiniro, both for their public
spirit and practical judgment. They aro gen
erally wealthy merchants and planters, sober
and moral. They discuss politics only onoe a
year, nnd then only talk and work for nomineos;
tor politics among them is a one-sided affair.
Tbo Democrats aro in secure majority. They
speak of the North as if they bolieve there ac-
i tally is such a place as tho North, and. as if
they know something abont it. They get stock
and market reports by tolegrnph every hour or
two, and they take pains to furnish me contin
uous reports of the fluctuations in Bock Island
stock and cotton, thongh I have no personal in
terest in either. Simon Cameron says be thinks
Macon is tho prettiost place he ever saw, and
he loves the people hero. Bight here I wish to
say that the people of the South aro making
more money now than they over did at any pre
vious time in their history. Espociallv is this
tho case ever sineo the war in Georgia and
South Carolina. Trno, the losses by the war
were very great, both by aetual losses and in
dorsements for one another, bnt a suspicion "of
a neighbor’s abibty to pay has acted as a gen
eral safeguard to everybody, and men who nev
er did a day’s work before have applied their
talents and physical strength in efforts to make
money, and fortunate circumstances have con
spired to make them successful. Many who
were $ 10,000 or §30,000 worse off than penni
less when the war ended are now quite well-off
again, but, of conrse, many unfortunates have
gone deeper in debt. Few failures are noted in
Macon. Ilor native business men have been in
tho same line all their lives. But their gener
ous welcome extended to Northern competitors
hai resulted in bringing a thrifty class of North
ern business men who have infused Yankee life
into the dealings, and made Macon a good dis
tributing point. Her native people lost little in
the war except slave property, and thongh that
loss was great, yet the benefit of profit since
has repaid that loss several fold. Emancipation
has been a pleasant experience for Macon.
The city stands at the head of the cotton belt
of Southwestern Georgia and Alabama, and all
that country pays tribute to it. Planters from
sections northeast have taken their trusty labor
ers to the cotton belt below here and raised cot
ton. This emigration was of the trained class,
both proprietors and laborers. The now comers
have emptied their products into Macon as a
shipping point, and from thence drawn their
snpplies. The effect was to enhance the value
of her real estate and infnse prosperity into
every vein. Property owners have doubled,
trebled and quadrupled the value of their pos
sessions, and find ready purchasers. No store
or warehouse is vacant, and the demand for
dwelling houses is greater than the supply.
THE BUSINESS OF MACON
is therefore of a substantial sort. There are
now occupied about 200 first-class stores, be
sides a large number of shops. Many stores do
wholesale business only. Twenty-eight first-
class stores and about 400 fine private resi
dences are now going up. Two grocery nnd
drygoods houses, or planters’ outfit establish
ments, do a greater business than any in the
State, each making soles aggregating $1,000,000
per annum. Next to Memphis and Angpnsta
tMsi is the greatest interior cotton mart in tho
South. The receipts for I SO-70 were S 1,000
bales, while for 1870-71, up to June 23, over
100,000 bales were received, with more than two
months yet to run. The merchants feel greatly
cnoouraged by their suocess. Some of this cot-
tm is manufactured on the spot. Thongh her
two cotton mills are worked by steam, under
“any disadvantages of expense for coal nnd
wood, whieh are not felt at all whero water
power is used, yet both pay in dividends more
than ten per cent, upon the capital. Ono com-
P*uy has been in operation twenty-one years,
and the machinery is now quite old. It has
always been successful. It has a surplus fund
°f over 60 per cent. The Confederate govern
ment erected an immense brick armory here; a
company has been formed with a capital of •
§300,000, and tho intention is to fit it up for a
cotton factory of something like a thousand
looms, for making No. 14 yarns and cotton
cloths. They propose to utilize the waters of
the Ocmnlgee river, whioh runs with navigable
volume past the city, and would furnish sufficient
power to work at least a million spindles.
Several manufacturing establishments here
are important for this section. Among these are
three iron foundries and machine shops, em
ploying a few hundred hands. The railroads
centreing here, six in number, have fine work
shops, and employ a considerable number of
mechanics and laborers. There are also manu
factories which supply the local wants of tho
neighborhood, such as sashes, blinds, bricks,
eta, besides several flooring mills. These last
ship floor to all points.
The cotton warehouses aro of the most sub
stantial and extensive character, occupying fall
squares of large extent Six of these are im
mense, and average each a capacity of storing
ton thousand bales of cotton. All business
buildings are of brick, it being against the law
to erect wooden bnildmgs within fire limits.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS, ETC.,
are many in number and quite imposing. The
Conrt-boase, now being erected, is made of
brick covered with acid and penciled to look
like Northern pressed brick. The roof is of
mansard style in galvanized iron, and it, with
the whole bnilding, is patterned in imitation of
the Strasbnrg Cathedral.
Tho Methodist Female College was tho first
female college started in the United States. It
originated in 1837. It has 240 pupils and an
honored list of professors. This college ranks
now among tho first in importance in the United
States. The Masonic Temple, of tho Grand
Lodge of the State of Georgia, now bnilding,
will be a fine structure. It will cover abont
three quarters of an acre of ground. This fra
ternity has considerable properly in Macon, and
its rents are a good income.
Tho Mercer University and Appleton Church
Orphan House are largo nnd well-eDdowed in
stitutions. The former has about $500,000.
Tho Cemetery is a most bnantifnl and roman
tic spot. It is situated on the banks of tho Oc
mnlgee, and the hillside slope is a wood of old
water oaks and tender saplings. The scenery
around and all through it is varied and qnite
picturesque. It abounds in secluded retreats,
springs, rivulets, bridges and vaults, and mau
soleums and magnificent statuary erected and
walled in on hillside lots, overlooking rare trees
clad in verdure of ivy and evergreen. To the
mind of the Southerner the idea of throwing
vile dirt npon a dead body is revolting in the
extreme. To obviate this they dig a grave some
six feet deep and brick it np to the top of the
coifin box. When the coffin is inserted they
arch it over and brick it np to the surface of
the ground.
The city own some two thousand acros of
ground in the corporate limits and the outskirts.
Abont one thousand acres of this is now being
fitted up for tho State Agricultural Fair to be
held next October. Fart of this tract is a race
track, a mile long, nnd as level as a floor. Great
preparations are on foot for holding the fair.
The Commissioner of Agriculture regards the
fairs hold here as very important matters. He
attends them. The city has the most beautiful
natural site for a largo park, that I have ever
seen.
Considerable effort was made when it became
probable that t he capital of the State would be
moved from Millodgeville to have Macon the
capital. The question of removal had boon
agitated for a long time by the people of the
northorn pnrt of the State. At the time of
changing the constitution the opportunity of
fered and the battle for peace was waged be
tween Macon and Atlanta. The success of the
latter point is well known, as well as the im
mense prosperity that followed that event. It
was one strong link in the chain of circumstan
ces that places Atlanta in the load of any south
ern inland city in progress.
THE CITY FINANCES.
Macon has n population of about 18,000 per
sons. Ilor debt amounts to ODly $700,000, most
of which was incurred in aid of railroads. They
aro all constructed, and the stocks promise to
become profitable investments. Tho other as
sets of the city available for sale, if dcsirod,
aro much greater than tho whole indebtedness.
THE HEALTH OF THIS LOCALITY
is good; in fact, very good. Tho climate is
dry and bracing. Epidemics never visit this
place. The business or lower portion of tho
city is not, in my experience, as oool as might
bo dosirod. In fact, I found it hot. The in
habitants say it is cool and delightful there all
anmmer. Probably I was thero on awfnlly tor
rid days, ss they say I was. Whethor the state
ment of the inhabitants or my own experience
correct is matter of little consequence. I
don't see why Macon should bo a hotter place
than tho neghboring towns. \V. P. C.

CHEAP GASLIGHT
IT
S a simple, safe and reliablo apparatus for sup-
_ plying PUBLIC BUILDINGS and PRIVATE
RESIDENCES, with a superior and CHEAP GAS
LIGHT.
Upwards of FOUR HUNDRED are iu successful
operation in privato residences, churches, factories,
etc.
No other apparatus is operated on tlio samo or
any similar principle, wliicti guarantees a light of
uniform quality, in either arg&nd or open Burners,
WITHOUT THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL HEAT.
The practical operation of the Machines can bo
seen at the PASSENGER SHED of the Railroad
Companies in MACON; also at the Printing and
Publishing House of Messrs J. W. BURKE & CO.
Wo call attention to tlie following extiact ftoma
letter from J. W. Burke, Esq.:
Macon, Ga., March 23, 1371.
“We have bad one of the U. S. Gaslight Comp*
ny’s Machines, in operation since the 10th of No
vember, 1870, and it is perfectly satisfactory to ns
in its general working and cheapness. We paid tho
Macon Gaslight Company for four months of last
year and the year previous—viz: November, De
cember, January and February—$399.56. In using
this Machine our gas for the four corresponding
months cost us $114—thus saving us in that time
$285.56. The light is quite as good as that of the
City Gas Company, and has the advantage of being
entirely under our control to nse as wo please.
During the severe weather in December it burned
without intermission, not being at all affected by
the freeze. Wo see no trouble in tho Machine or
the light, and cheerfully recommend it.”

So quick, so rapid are the changes the body un

ful Medicine, that
Every Bay an Increase in I-’leslt anil
Weight is Keen anti Fell.
THE GREAT HLOOI) PURIFIER !
Every drop of the Sarsaparillian Resolvent com
municates through the Blood, Sweat, Urine, and
other fluids and juices or tlia system the vigor of
life, for it repairs the wastes of the body with new
and toutid material. Scrofula, Syphilis, Consump

Skin Disea-es, Eruptions, Fever Sores, Scald Head,
Ring Worm. Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Acne, Black
Spots, Worms in the Flesh, Tumors, Cancers in the
Womb, and all weakening and painful discharges,
Night Sweats, Loss of Sperm and all wastes of the
life principle, are within tlie curative range of this
wonder of modern chemistty, and a few days’ use
will prove to any person using it for either of these
to'ms of disease its potent power to cure them.
If tho patient, daily becoming reduced by the
wastes and decomposition that is continually pro
gressing, succeeds in arresting these wastes, and
repairs tho samo with new material mRde from
healthy blood—and this the Sarsaparillian will and
docs secure—a cure is certain; for when once this
remedy commences its work of purification, and
succeeds in diminishing the loss of wastes, its ro-
;tails wi,l be rapid, and every day the patient will
t ool himself growing hotter and stronger, the food
will digest bettor, appetite - improving, and Uesh

GEORGIA:
By Rufus B. Bullock, Governor of said State.
Whebeas, Official information has been received
at this Department that one Pleus Fbicks, a noto
rious character, has of late committed many depre
dations upon the good and law abiding citizens of
Lumjitin county, and the counties adjacent thereto,
and that several indictments are now pending
against him in those counties, charging him with
assault with intent to murder, arson, horse stealing,
and other divers crimes: and,
Whereas, Notwithstanding the diligent efforts by
the civfl authorities in endeavoring to apprehend
tho said Fbicks, he has succeeded in eluding their
vigilance, and is still at large, greatly to the teiror
and the disturbance of the peace and good order of
said communities:
Now, therefore, believing that the offering of a
suitable award is essential as a means of bringing
to justice the said Fbicks, I have thought proper to
issue this, my proclamation, hereby offering a re
ward of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS for the appro-
hension and delivery of the said Pbeus Fbicks to
tho Sheriff of Lumpkin county,and an additional re
ward of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS on Ms coc-
victiou of any of tbe felonies with which ho stands
charged.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the
State, at the Capitol in Atlanta, thiB the twelfth
day of Jnly. in the year of our Lord Eighteen
Hundred and Seventy-one, and of the Independ
ence of the United States of America the Ninety-
sixth.
