BdUert THegraph and Messenger Sojonra-
* for awbil* In fill*, Ihe eify which from the
period I bed become familiar with cverjUung
of i public etuuseler within if* then prescribed
limit*, I now naturally look »round to *ee
what change* have taken ptao* during an ah-
mom of ten Tears. It Is n«4 my intention,
however, to attempt a dercriprion of, o, any
comparison between Baltimore a*lt le now,
and aa It wax, when I last aaw It that baa al
ready boen bettor done than I could do it by
it* own intelligent proa*, and obeervant cor-
>eenondent* of diataot paper* throughout the
coonurV I will only aay that anch baa boen the
inereaae in the area of ita improvement* that
hundred* of equate acre* of iU formerly ad
joint land* then cultivated aa farm* and mar
ket garden*, are now paved streets with solid
row* of maxaive atore* and elegant dwellings
thereon. With regard to building* of special
note, and other improvement* of magnitude in
oonrae of conatruction, or already erected, I
may mention the new city Hell, which is now
approaching completion. It la built of pure
American white marble, and aa a specimen of
elegance in architecture and easiness of pro
portion, it is second only to the capital of the
country.
Another groat improvement i# an immense
grain elevator now being erected by the Balti
more and Ohio Kail road, which, when com
pleted, will supply what baa been felt a* a great
need among tbo largo dealers and shipper* of
that important article. Another work of gigan-
lie dimension* la the great tnnnol or under
ground railroad, which la in oonrae of construc
tion. This massive work will l>e carried entirely
under the city, from one extreme to the other,
and will involve a coat of million*. It 1* de
signed, aa I understand, to Have the necessity
of transhipment of freight, and delay in passing
through tho city. There arc, of oourie, many
improvement* of less magnitude, bnt no lea*
interest. Among the latter is the new and beau
tiful Grand Open House recently erected by
Mr. John T. Ford, the well known theatrical
manager. This t* one of the most elegant, aa
well a* spacious, buildings to bo Been in the
city, and has l.een erected liy ita public-spirited
owner »t a coat of over 9100,000. It ia designed
to be the leading theatro of the city, wherein
vast assemblages may convene to witness the
higher order of theatrical, operatio and orches
tral performances, and where nothingof a minor
character will bo presented. In its arcbitectorel
design and mechanical construction, it combine*
vast extent, eleganeo, and every possible ootn-
fort and convenience necessary to effective pre
sentation upon the stage, and the aooommodation
of ita audiences. It was found by ita owner,
Mr. Ford, the former leaaee (now sole owner)
of the old Holliday Street Theatre, that that
building was inadequate, often times, to
aooonunodate the large andienoea who desire to
witness the popular productions of that stage;
and in ordar to remove this difficulty, and se
cure to the patrons of tbo drama the facilities of
a first-das* theatre, he at onee, with his pro
verbial energy, aet to work, and in an inorrdi-
bly short time haa accomplished the work. Tbla
magnificent opera houae is now in full operation,
mid no one visiting the city should fail to attend
it. Since iU opening it has been oocupied by
le l'arepp*
Company and the Groat Orchestra Combination
of Theodore Thompeon, which attracts large
and brilliant audiences at present. The far-
famed and nniveraal favorite, Maggie Mitchell,
ia the ruling alar, and is playing the round of
her popular specialties to largo audienees, and
a* tho aeaaon advances all the loading stare of
the country will appear in their respective roloa.
This splendid structure lias involved a coot in
its site, construction and varied appointments,
of over £100,000 to its owner, Mr. Ford, and to
hia energy and public spiiit are the citizens of
Baltimore indebted for a means of rational on-
joymont such as they have never heretofore
possessed, and which cannot fail as nn incen
tive to diatant dealer* when visiting the eitios
t»purchase their stocks. I. G. M.

Editors 'Telegraph anil Messenger At the in
stance of many friends and acquaintance*, the
following cmmnilteo was appointed : Dr. H. 8.
Wimberly, Judge Levi Ualiemore, ami Col. It.
It. Hlappy, to wait on Mr. It. II. Ilill and re
quest bint to address Ilia citizens of Twiggs
county upon Iho political issues of the day, ho
being in attendanoo upon tho Superior Court of
said county, it being adjourned on ncoonnt of
the Judge's siekness. Mr. Ilill fait it his duty,
however reluctant he might be to speak on that
subject, to grant the reqneat so sinoerely made,
and waa accordingly iutroduced by Col. It. It.
Hlappy to a crowded house—all eager to bear
Mr. ilill in justification of himself (If, indeed,
we may use the word justification.) Woaresut-
lafled that Mr. Hill has now tho moat sensible
posiUou be has had for a long time—and how-
can a man justify himself for acting nottf and
speaking the truth. Mr. Hill and hia position
need no vindication—they are unimpeachable
and snblimo.
lint to Iho subject: The speaker, after a few
preliminary remurks, reviewed his past political
life from its inception; showed why he became
a politician, how, and why ha bad tulieu every
political step of hi* life—it being from a firm
conviction of his being right— us ulso the doc
trines he udvoealod. lie gnve the most solid end
conclusive reasons for bis course since the
dose of the war up to the time of writing hi*
celebrated address of December, 1870, ami for
that address he pronounoed a vindication that
will equal that of any other man, for any aot of
their livea, in either modern or ancient time. He
was matt imprest** in hia remarks, and while
some feltlhat Mr. Ilill bad erred,uot knowing hi*
reasons for acting, and uot having a proper con
ception of the political crisis yet when be gave
them his reason, the honest tears that fell from
many a manly fsoe in that assembly, testified
beyond a cavil, that bis errors, if any he had,
ware no longer remembered against him, and
all were ready to exclaim, “well done thou good
and faithful servant." Mr. Hill's description of
hia slanderer* waa chaste, eloquent and amus
ing, and ha waa frequently interrupted by con
tinuous roar* of laughter and applause. I can
safely aay that tbo motive* of Mr. Ilill, as a
politician, will nevermore be impngned in this
county, and when passive and blind prejudice
will no longer usurp the place of thought and
reason, Mr. Hill will he universally recognized
aa th* true champion and statesman of his na
tive State—a man of apotlem political character
and indomitable courage. Yea, every Georgian
wUi yet be proud to exclaim—
Thy fame, Ben Hill, will long outlire
The veoomed ahafu of envy;
And patriot tongue* will praiee thee In death.

FOR 1872.
For nearly half a century the Georgia Telegraph and the Geouc^
Journal and Messenger, cither separately or united, have been tb
great organs of general intelligence to this and the contiguous section'
of Georgia and Alabama. In all the varied social, civil and politic,
experience of this region during that extended and momentous perioc
in its history, these old Journals have been the constant and family.
visitors of thousands of households in this vast area of country an
have numbered their readers and patrons by successive generation;'
In the whole scope of this great Agricultural section of two of tb
most important Cotton States, the fortunes of these journals have varied
simply with the varying fortunes of the people, and to-day their cii
culation and hold upon the public confidence and estimation have neve-
been exceeded at any period in their long history. Indeed as tli
demands upon newspapers became yearly more exacting—the expo
ses of publication increase and concentration of capital and labor be
come more indispensable, so, we are glad to say, our circulation and
influence increase with equal steps. The former have multiplied mor
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 Telegram
and Messenger, within that whole region of country to which it c; ;
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 are 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 cifv,
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 in 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 Jo
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 better method of ad
vertising thffft through the columns of a popular, widely circulated
newspaper, which by long habit and association has become the daily
source of information to all within the scope of country which fur
nishes the trade of its commercial centre. All other expedients to
communicate with the people are comparatively inefficient and value
less. We place the Telegraph and Messenger before the public, as
a certain, popular, and unrivalled medium of advertising communica
tion with all that part of Georgia and Alabama which looks to Macon
for its market or for the earliest news.
THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH & MESSENGER
Is an immense sheet, 88x52 inches in size and containing fifty-six col
umns. It is designed to contain a full and connected history of the
week, and 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
ground and gives aU current events of importance in every county
of Georgia. It also furnishes an invaluable original summary 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 fuH 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 dollars, and we wiU send the paper to the new subscriber
and add a year to his own account.
Ti SEMI-WEEKLY TELEGRAPH Ai MESSENGER
Is a compact paper with few advertisements, and furnished twice a
week. We most particularly recommend this edition to these who
have more than one and less than six mails a week
In this connection we call attention to the propositions at the head
of the first column in this edition.
With the approaching year we enter upon the canvass for the next
Presidency an event fraught with momentous results to the South,
and which cannot fail to awaken absorbing interest among the people.
The progress and conclusion of this grand event, wiU be chronicled
with particular care by the Telegraph and Messenger, and aU the
questions and facts which affect its result wi& 'receive very careful at
tention. We hope all our readers and patrons, old and new, will assist
us in increasing the circulation and usefulness of all our editions,
