Kttilrnrr na to Ita Delight* and ItlnMlngn
from a Mormon Wife No 7.
The Syraenae Courier guaranioe* the enthea-
ticity of the flattering picture of domeetie blips
contained in the following letter. It was writ
ten b; u Mormon lady to a friend reaiding near
^Mr^caa Macrna—You know I hare never
written to yon alnoe I came here to tho taudof
promise and joined the Mormon faith. Yon
know we need to talk about doe Smith and bis
twenty wivoe, and what a terrible wieked thin,:
it waa for a man to have so many wires, and
that all mch women ought to be put to death,
and wo wondered how they oonld ever agree to
lire together and all that. Now I will tell yon
come of my experience. Yon know I went with
a company of aizteen, some from New York
State, aome from Connecticut, and two from
Now Hampshire, and when we got hero a great
parade wea made over ua. We were taken into
the tabernacle where our spiritual Lord nod
master made a fine prayer and speech to ns,
giving bia thanks for coming so long a distanco
to be with them and enjoy tho only true religion
and happiness. The next day I waa married to
my hnaband, who la a farmer, ia as fine n man
ns you ever did see; be is noble and generous;
he bsd then only six wives, I became the
aavenlh; he haa married two moro since, and
we wore all glad be did, it ia so pleasant when we
all get together and tell each other of onr for
mer experienoe before wo came hero; how we
need think it a mortal ain for a man to have
more than one wife, and all such foolish non
sense. Onr dear husband often laughs at ns
when we tell him of Ibo silly notions we had in
onr younger days. Onr hnaband is one of tho
kindest men; if any one of on want any money
all wo have to do ia to ask him for it, and the
horsoa and the carriage is always ready to take
ua wherever we wish to go. We have thirty-
soren children altogether; only throe are mine,
and most of them are old enough to go to school.
I tell yen it is mighty pleasant to see them all
in the play.ground together enjoying themselves
hngely, and thoir father in their midst os happy
as any of them. I toll yon he is as nice a man
as ever lived. He says he is going to have all
Ibo boys lesrn a good trade or profession (wo
havo only nineteen boys), and we mnst learn
the girls to work, so they will be nsefnl when
they !>ceomo wires. I tell yon, Martha, wo bare
no old maids in this country, no illegitimate
children, no abprtion, no coronet's inquests
over little babes at every half milo along tho
lino of tho oanals, as yon have in yonr country.
There are no bouses of ill-fame in onr country.
In abort, my dear Martha, we are a happy and
prosperous people, and we enjoy life in a proper
and Christian-like manner. I would sign my
full name, which I am proud of, bnt husband
says I bsd better sign my original maiden name,
aa this letter is going to a land of unbelievers.
So adien. Ghana.
P. 8.—I will write you again before long, bnt
hatband says I mnst not urge yon to come horc;
If yon come, you must do so voluntarily.
A Queer Urlitc.
The New York correspondent of (he St. Louis
llepnbllcan furnishes the following bitof gossip
Amongst the catastrophe* of the month may
|>e mentioned the marriages. Awnings are np
and carpets are down in front of onr obnrebes,
and weddings are in fashion as well as deaths.
Last week at the Little Church Around (he Cor
ner, the Church of the Transfiguration, the
only daughter of Lester Wollack was duly made
Mr*. Arthur Sewell. Not without difficulty,
however; the brido is qnite young, considered
pretty and all the world (in Now York) knows
she has peculiarities peculiarly her own.
Dating the solepinitiea of a bridal ceremony
it was supposed sue would forego tho waya and
manners that havo made her conspicuous in
her father's theatre, and in publio generally.
Cafounded suppositionThe chnrch was well
filled. The bridal cortege arrived, passed up
the long covered passage to the vestibule,
hailed, and no pool or organ fell on Florence's
ear. “What, screamed tho bride with a
ohnroh fall of people in front and a crowd of
guests pressing in bohind. “No music? I
won't be married without maslo." Several
ladles here filled the open door behind I he
bridal party. The ushers were sent flying after
an organist. The bride in streaming white silk,
flowing veil and orange wreath tamed upon
the crowd motioning them back. She cried
“ Yon can't come m hero now, till I pass
Into ohnreb. Keep the door, somebody.”
Her father tried in vain to calm her.
Her proposed hnaband ventured a single word,
bat she shut him np quite summarily.
No organist was found, tho invited gnosta out
side tho chapel door were clamorous, and Ihe
disappointed damsel reluctantly went np the
stale and waa married. Aa the benediotion waa
pronounced she commenced an animated argu
ment with the happy BewolL As she passed ont
of tho chnrch, half way down tho aisle she spied
Tom. Baker, the leader of the orchestra at Wal-
laek's and sang ont: “Hero, what’s the reason
I had no mnaio f” Unbooked, the gallant Baker
replied: “Why didn't yon let inelmow. I'd a
bad the whole orchestra hero.” I've seen blush
ing bridee, tearful brides, agitated brides but
if Mias Waltack had been getting married every
day for five year* she oonldn't have been a more
•elf.paaeeeed and easy-aeting brido than aho
proved henelf.

Hawkins and Isaac Trammel. Dr. Moore, who
ta undoubtedly one of tho moat quiet, gentle
manly and honorable men in the State was
arrested upon the sffidarit of a negro.’who
hod seen him ride ont to visit his patients, one
cold wet night, with tbe hood attached to his
India-rubber overooat over his he id. Most of
the other prisoners here were arrested under
affidavit* of 8. T. Pointer and F. E. Ray,
charging them with riotous conduct in the
streets of Union while those men wero hero,
more than a year ago.
The result of the present state of affairs in
thta county will inevitably bring groat suffering
and wont upon the colored people next year.
Alrndy, in eonxequeno* of ornate and flights,
a sufficient cumber of white land owners and
employers have left farms whereon at least two
hundred laborers are employed thta year. These
fwms wiU not be cultivated next year, while all
theneoeasary animals, implements, etc., em
ployed upon them most be sold ont of the oonn-

FOR 1S7S.
For n •;! V half a century the Georgia Telegraph and the Georgia
Journal asp Messenger, either separately or united, have been the
great organs of general intelligence to this and the contiguous sections
of Georgia and Alabama. In all the varied social, civil and political
experience of this region during that extended and momentous period
in its history, these old Journals have been the constant and familiar
have numbered their readers and patrons by successive generations.
In the whole scope of this great Agricultural section of two of the
most important Cotton States, the fortunes of these journals have varied
simply with the varying fortunes of the people, and to-day their cir
culation and hold upon the public confidence and estimation have never
been exceeded at any period in^their long history. Indeed, as the
demands upon newspapers became yearly more exacting—the expen
ses of publication increase and concentration of capital and labor be
come more indispensable, so, we arc glad to say, our circulation and
influence increase with equal steps. The former have multiplied more
than tenfold in the last twenty years, and the circulation and business
of the Telegraph and Messenger have increased in the same propor
tion. We rejoice to believe that in no section of the United States
there a newspaper possessing a more complete occupation of its pecu

and Messenger, within that whole region of country to which it can
carry the earliest intelligence. Its circulation in gross we suppose to
be not exceeded by that of any newspaper in the Carolinas, Georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi, with perhaps a single exception, but its cir
culation in its appropriate and particular field, is without an approxi
mating rival,
These arc the circumstances and this the condition which make the
Telegraph and MessengeR such a remarkably good Advertising Me
dium. There is scarcely a family or individual doing business with
Macon, within a radius of two or three hundred miles around the city,
who does not read the paper, so that an advertisement in its columns
reaches all eyes. The Macon merchant can scarcely add a greater
publicity to his business, among people who can trade with him, after
he has advertised in this paper. The Northern or Western merchant
or manufacturer can rely on the fact that by advertising in this paper
he will address the whole mercantile, professional and agricultural
population of this large area,' and need go no further for that purpose
We are frequently iu receipt of testimonials from advertisers of all
classes as to the peculiar value of this newspaper as an advertising
medium.
And we are ready to place these advantages at the disposal of the
public on the most reasonable terms compatible with our expenses and
circulation. Our policy is to encourage advertising by moderate
charges; but it must be obvious to every man of common sense that
we cannot multiply copies of advertisements by thousands, for the
same price that others can furnish them by scores and hundreds. This
point is better understood in the great commercial centres where ad
vertising is valued and paid for precisely according to the scale of cir
culation—where one paper will be cheerfully paid three dollars a line
and another five cents a line for the same advertisement, according to
their measure of circulation. The first furnishes paper, press-work
and circulation for a hundred thousand impressions, and the latter
perhaps for a few hundreds. The contracts have all the difference
which exists between a pound and hogshead of sugar; but both, it
may be, print and circulate a merchant’s address to the public for less
than half what a corresponding number of circulars or handbills would
cost, which could have no other circulation than they might obtain
from a range of limited personal acquaintances and mere fugacious
personal efforts. There can be no cheaper or bettor method of ad
vertising than through the columns of a popular, widely circulated
newspaper, which by long habit and association has become the daily SuntT"^ 0 ok7h“TO«htto>a t S'V4Tj r r“er

We place ihe Telegraph and Messenger before the public, as ,aai
THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH & MESSENGER
Is an immense sheet, 38x52 inches in size and containing fifty-six col
urnns. It is designed to contain a full and connected history of the
week, aud although its great size is complained of by some, yet we
find the whole space essential to the grand design of the paper. A
family in possession of this paper need be ignorant of no important
event in the world’s current history, or miss any important
idea or discovery of the times. In State news it covers the whole
grouud and gives all current events of importance in every county
of Georgia. It also furnishes an invaluable original summaiy of foreign
news—and gives the latest market advices from every commercial
point. This paper is a universal favorite of the Georgians who have
emigrated to Texas and other distant points, and in this way its cir
culation is coextensive with the United States and is, in fact, scattered
over foreign countries,
We feel that so invaluable a paper, large as its circulation is, has
never yet attained the full measure of its deserts. Will not its readers
everywhere interest themselves in extending the sphere of its useful
ness ? The price of the paper is three dollars per annum, but if any
reader has a mind to add another new subscriber to the list, he may
remit five doUars, and we will send the paper to the new subscriber
and add a year to his own account.
