NLT8AIY. 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.

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.

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 liar field of circulation than do the various editions of the Telegraph CITY PROPERTY FOR S ALE.

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 source of information to all within the scope of country which fur nishes the trade of its commercial centre.

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.
