Newman by virtue of some com- alimentary degree qualifying him to prescribe for tbe aonla of folks, ha* been getting an edi tor to deny that ha (Newman) ever trotted around tbe departments at Washington to get offioas. Hi* daatal waa swiftly followed np by aa many aa a dozen people reporting at my bouse with direct lnatanoaa of this man’s andaeity in office-begging. Last year tbe Chaplaincy at West Point waa recommended to bo vacated, by a couple of these preachers, in order that on* or tbo other of them might gat into the place. It ia currently reported here that the reo- ummendatiooa of thaao olerioal visitors ao- oompfiabed th* retirement of old Father Ma han, the engineer there, and that his suicide resulted from the mortification of tbe blow. Mr. Oorbam, tbe Secretary of the United Sutra Sana I a, gave me an instance of clerical andaeity only yesterday. A certain chaplain earns to him and aaid: “Mr. Secretary, aa I am tbe Chaplain of tbia body, and have been eleotad to fill tba place for tba period of this Congress, I wish to ask if yon have any objection to ad vancing my salary for tbo whole of that time, and I wlU ua* it to parabase Government bonds, wbiob I will put in you bands aa security, to t bat in no ceae can yon lose anything." Gorham, with much apparent aiiiiplloiiy, looked np at tbe reverend investor, and aaid: “Well, Ur. , of course, being a clergyman, you are apt not to ass tbe whole situation in a business matter like this. These bonds will bear interest while they are in my hands, and, aa tbe government does net owe you anything, yon can readily see that it would not be exactly right for yon to take in terest from it. I am sure I have only to sug gest this to you mind in order that you can see tbe full force of my objections.” The olergy. man want away sorrowfully, for bo bad ex pected great possessions. Tbia next atory ta told bar* by the brother- in-law of General Sherman, npon another cler gyman. Thia clergyman waa one of those who went to New Orleans early in tbe war, deputed by the Board of Methodist Bishops to book a church from tbe Southern organization of tbe Methodist body, and transfer it, under Federal protection, lo the Church of the North. This species of ecolcsiastieal grand larceny it per fectly consistent with a certain grade of point- co-religious morals. Tbe attempt waa a failure, for the Doited State* Courts note down upon Ik But the atory, which I began to tell, ia{*a follows: A certain lady of New Orleaim, to whom out olerioal ambassador had Utters of Introduction, and who sympathized with bis holy office and with bis temporary T personal misfortune of being without a home in a strange city in time of war, offered the rever end gentleman accommodations in her house. To the mortification of the family, however, it waa found that our clergyman held a regular daily levee, from fifty to a hundred person* daily o*lling npon him, as it it had been a military headquarters. The lady sought the adrioe of her friends aa to what ah* should do, and abe was told that tbe shortest way was th* beet and frank eat. So aha was obliged to say to tba clergyman that, when he first appeared in th* city, ah* had expected tha* it would be a pleasure to aotartain him, but that, under the circumstance*, it waa no longer so, and aha hoped be would taka the suggestion kindly and soak other accommodations. Instead of show, ing gratitude for paat kindntKseo, it is related that thia clergyman, smarting with resentment, went to th* military headquarters of the city and reported his hoot for rebellious affiliations, and bad her bona* seized end confiscated.

For nearly half a century the Georgia Telegraph and the Georgia Journal and Messenger, either separately or united, have been the great organs of general inteUigence 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 codstaut and familiar visitors of thousands of households in this vast area of country, and 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 are 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 is there a newspaper possessing a more complete occupation of its pecu liar field of circulation than do the various editions of the Telegraph 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 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 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 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 vertisiug is valued and paid for precisely according to the scale of cir culation—where one paper wiU 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 better method of ad vertising than 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 Alacon for its market or for the earliest news. THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH & MESSENGER Is an immense sheet, 38x52 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 fuU measure of its deserts, Will not its readers everywhere interest themselves in extending the sphere of its useful ness ? The price of the paper i3 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.
