L Telegraph & Messenger. WEDNESDAY MOBNINO. DEC. 13, 1671. In* I.cKrr from llalflnioro. IUltmo**, December Sth. 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. Hon. II. II. iTTlI In TwiggN. .TarransoNvii.T.r, Ga., December*;, 1871. 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. MANHOOD IN THE GENERATON.

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, x ni n out - GLISBY, JONES & REESF; Macon, November 21,1871*^
