The reputation of this department of our establishment has been secured, we are glad to know, and is still maintained by the quality and style of the work turn ed out. We take pleasure in announcing that the facilities and resources which en abled us in the past to give character to the Advertiser Establishment have been augmented by the addition of the latest improved styles of typo and furnitare, which in the hands of skillful workmen will be used with that taste and cunning that have heretofore distinguished their handiwork, and given it an enviable place in public estimation. Mindful, too, of the pressure of the times, all work will be done at a cost that shall be approved by even the exacting customer. A full stock of paper, cards and ma terials always on hand. ‘"The Steam Man.” —Much has been published recently about the wonderful invention of a machinest in Newark, New Jersey, who has built a steam man, which is said to be able to walk a good many miles per hour, to go up and over hills, travel over obstructions, and do many other wonderful things. Practical men doubted the ability of the machine to do all that was claimed for it, thinking that the power applied to the lifting and for ward movement of the legs would do bet ter if attached to a crank, which would drive a pair of wheels. Now, a man in Newark, who seems to understand the case, denounces the ma chine as an unmitigated humbug. He says it never has walked a step since it was made. It was carried from the shop where it was made to an ice cream gar den ; then it was propped up, so that it* ■fe"* ai4-»stTs»c : u agoing. Its leg*4wung back anarorak!? the empty air but that was all. The Chamber of Commerce of New York has adopted a memorial to the Leg islature against railroad monopolies, set ting forth that New York has made no progress in the railroad facilities except the extension of the Erie to Cincinnati and St. Lonis, while other cities have wisely increased their facilities by the construction of the Pennsylvania Central and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroads. The memorial says that ‘'experience has shown that low rates can be retained without imperiling the prosperity of rail roads.” It also gives a list of rates be tween Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York and Western cities, showing that rates from that fifty to one hundred per cent higftw* than from Balti more. Fighting Over the Spoils. The Washington correspondent of the Balti more Sun, writing under date of March 27, gives the following information con cerning the buzzards who flock around the capital : Immediately after the assassination of President Lincoln the corporation of Washington offered a reward of $20,000 for the capture of the assassins. About fifty-four claimants having appeared, the case got into the Equity Court, where it is still pending, ana Mr. M. Ashford was appointed a commissioner to take testi mony, and has for some time been attend- Jng to thfct duty. Several days ago Mr. Snnis, as counsel for Col. O’Beirne, (ona if the parties,) had a subpoena issued for .he Hon. E. M. Stanton as a witness, who answered the summons by a note ad dressed to Judge Olin that it was incon venient for him to leave the War Depart ment, but that he conld give his testimo ny at the Department. Accordingly a time was set, and on Wednesday the ex amination of Mr. Stanton was com menced, and was continued to-day. The Wise Shooting Case. —The case of John 8. Wise and Captain George Douglas Wise, the former a son of Gov ernor Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, charg ed with shooting E. A. Pollard, in Balti more, on the 14th of November last, was again set for trial on Monday, the 30th inst., in the Criminal Court. Hon. Reverdy Johnson and J. A. L. McClure have been retained as their counsel, and George H. Murphy, Esq., has been se cured by Mr. Knott, State’s Attorney, to assist in tbe prosecution. Thirty-five female employees of the Treasury Department are to be dismissed in consequence of a decrease of work. There is a story from California of Bur glars who, at midnight, climbed up to a chamber window and cautiously opened it. The occupant chanced to be awake, crept softly to the window, and just as tbe robber’s face appeared, presented the smooth muzzle of two revolvers, with the injunction : “You get!” “ You bet I" replied the housebreaker, dropping and running. There is no more pithy dialogue on record. WIIO SHOULD MAURY. In the March number of the Herald Os Health, Mrs. E. Oakes Smith has an ar ticle on “Choosing a Wife," from which we make a few extracts : It is not wise to marry a woman of a different religious faith, nor one far re moved from your own eocial rank ; nor an ignorant woman. Do not marry a woman with thin lips and a glib tongue. Do not marry a sentimental woman, who is sure to run into the lackadasical one ; let her love sentiment, high, noble sentiment, bnt beware of the sentimental. Do not marry one of the delicate, die away women, who are sure to degenerate into invalids, and take a pride in their feebleness, Only handsome men and women ought to marry. Those having a mens tana in corpore sano. Let others look the mat ter squarely in the face, and admit that their imbecilities, their diseases, their un handsome looks, their discordant minds, ought not to be perpetuated ; and let them go to work manfully to make the best of themselves by eschewing marriage. Let them be honest, hearty old maids and bachelors, earning money for the good of others, teaching and farming aud helping on good and wholesome ideas. The true, good, and handsome men and women adapted to marriage ought to be treated with distinguished honor in the world, as benefactors of the race as fore shadowing that beautiful future when we shall be hardly lower than the angels, and covered with glory and honor. One reason why it is well to marry a pretty woman in preference to a plain oue, is that the former is mors free from jealousy and discontent than the latter. Being better satisfied with herself, she is more likely to be pleased with others. It is better to marry a full-sized woman than a little one, for the meanness of stature is apt to go through the charac ter also. A certain roundness of con tour, a composure and self poise, devoid of heaviness and sluggishness, an elastic buoyancy, a bright uppish look, more of pride than vanity, a clear, open eye, and pure, child-like smile; hands and feet well proportioned, not too small, are out lines easily discriminated and constitute a safe, reliable character. A cheerful woman, one who will not make mountains of mole hills, who can find something bright and beautiful everywhere; who has pretty feminine resources, and knows how to devise ways and means to make others happy and content about her, is a jewel of inestimable worth. The voice (not for singing) is a great indicator of character. Swedenborg says the angels know the state of a man by his voice. Beware of those high, sharp tones of voice, as well as the too low and hesi tating ; the first belongs to a shrew, and the last to deceit and imbecility. . oa®erftilnesa of temper, candor that re ject* every species of falsehood.! ami owns h t * >e - tr ° t^.‘ tt a to •41? < ußwtTeuT>y'afbndnes3 for and faithful eare of pets, rather than by out ward ex pressions-, purity, inMinct in thought and action ; intelligence to appreciate all that is noble and good ; and health, sound and elastic, are traits to insure duty as a wife and happiness in a household. Some crusty old bachelor, taking a cheerful ramble in a graveyard, stumbled upon the following pleasant epitaph: " Here rests, in silent clay, Miss Arabella Younr, Who on the 21st of May, Began to hold her tongue.” " Here lies Margaret Sexton, Who never did ought to vex one, a Not like the woman under the next stone.” King of Pain. Sold by druggists gonerully. A Cool Proceeding.— Sunday evening last an amusing little scene was witnessed by a portion of the audience at one «f our fashionable churches. While the Sermon was being delivered a lady deliberately removed her hat, took down her back hair by the usual operation the comb, and taking out, me by one, seventy or eighty hair pins,' The raven locks fell npon her shoulders, and the people, instead of attending to the ser mon, looked for the next movement. It came in several quiet, satisfactory, en joying movements of the comb down the back of the head and through the hair. Instead of attending to the sermon, peo- Ce still eoaliiMied to-watch the lady. The dr was then gathered in both hands, dexterously retwisted, the comb inserted, those seventy-five hair pins (and it seemed as if they wonld never be all put in) re placed, one by one ; the short hairs on the neck tucked under, and finally the hat wasresamed, and then the lady turned her attention to the minister with greater ease and more zeal than did the amused audience.—Utica Herall. 9 DECLINING THE VERB "TO S>AY."

BIOGRAPHIES OP EMINENT MEN. “The Fat Contributor ” of the Cin cinnati Times is publishing a series of “Short Biographies of Eminent Men.” Among the last of these is his account of Benjamin Franklin, whom he thus em balms in history. The subject of this biography, whose name is so intimately connected with lightning rods and the old Franklin hand press, was born in Boston, which fact, by the way, in the estimation of the natives of that town, does away with the necessi ty for being “ born again " His father was a tallow chandler and soap boiler. This circumstance, it is supposed, ac counts for the great sympathy which lie always felt for the cause of Greece. His earliest predilection was for the purpose cf repressing it that Benjamin’s father bound him apprentice to the printing trade. He said he didn’t want him to go “roving about,” and he was satisfied that he wouldn’t if he once got to be a journey man printer. Journeyman printers never rove, Oh, no 1 He was bound appren tice to his brother James, who used him pretty rough, sometimes healing tbe young American philosopher and states man with a “side stick,” heaving “slugs” at him, etc. Benjamin had furnished several able articles for his brother's paper, in a dis guised hand, which his brother printed, giving them a first rate editorial notice ; but when he found out, as afterward he did, that Ben wrote them, why, he was tnad. That is the way with the world, when a man diplays unusual ability. All of my brothers are jealous of me. Benjamin bore the abuse patiently.— His brother being related to him, he said he didn’t like to raise a fuss among the connexions. He employed all his leisure in improving his mind, by reading Par ton’s Lives, Nasby, the New York Led ger, Beadle’s Dime Novels, and old man Grant’s biography of his son, thus estab lishing a groundwork for becoming the greatest American philosopher and states man. One day his brother heaving more than the usual quantity of “slugs” at his head, with the additional indignity of spanking him with a “galley,” Ben resolved to run away. He came to New York, where he saw Horace Greeley for the first time, easily recognizing him on the street from the descriptions he had read of his long white coat and hat. Too modest to ask aid from Horace, who would doubtless have offered it had he given his name, he went to Philadelphia by the Camden and Amboy Railroad, making an ineffectual effort to “dead head” over the line on account of having a brother who was a Boston editor. He reached tho Quaker City on a Sunday morning, and this oc curring before the Philadelphians con cluded to permit street cars to run on Sunday, he was compelled to walk up town.*' - Ho-proraat&i a grotesque spectacle go ing up Market street, eating a roll of aerated bread, with two other rolls qpder his arm and his pockets stuffed with shirts, stockings, and paper collars. Thus equipped, he passed by the house where lived the future Mrs. Franklin, who re marked his ridiculous appesrance. She little thought when she laughed at the stockings hanging out of his trowsers pockets that she would have to set up at nights to mend them, or that she would ever cut down those paper collars for the children to wear. Whether or not, la af ter life, Franklin wished that he had gone np another street, I am Dot prepared to say. He gave the two rolls to a poor woman, who, sympathizing with his weary ap pearance, kindly took them off bis hands; and then, desiring some qniet place in which to sleep, went into a Quaker meet ing-house, from which he afterward emerged greatly refreshed. The following evening he went to the Arch-atrerft Theatre, Jo. Murphy giving him a pass on account of his connection with toe presß,. He found employment, and obtained lodging at the house of his father-in-law that was to be, and was easily recognized by the yonng lady in question by the shirts and stockings still hanging out of his pockets. Franklin began to catafignrein Phila delphia at once. Tbe Governor, Sir William Keith, took a liking to him and offered to set him np in business. He wanted him to get ogt anew paper making it spicey as he conld —promising him the State printing. He hinted at an establishment bigger than the new Ledger building. Franklin was induced to go to England to buy types and a Hoe press for , the new paper (the Franklin Type Fofin-i dry, of Cincinnati, not yet being in opera tion), but on arriving there-he found that he had been deceived. Sir William hadn't credit enough to buy a sef.pjTT'.qhaaea” He returned to Philadelphia, mar ried, and began the publication - t>f a yearly paper called “Poor Richard’s Almanac.” In those days an ably conducted almanac of ordinary enterprise was about as much as the reading public required. Now they want half a dozen edition* a day. He became deeply versed in the arts and sciences. Among bis most noted in ventions was that of tbe lightning rod, which draws the lightning from the clonds, and, if it don’t strike some other part ts the building, it is popularly sup posed to run down the rod into the ground. Renjamin Franklin was an able writer, as may be seen by his signature affixed to the Declaration of independence, which he assisted in drafting. He did a great amount of business in his day. I con clude that he was largely engaged in the hotel business, as I have rarely been in a place of any size that didn’t have a “Franklin House.” Everybody has heard too of “the old Franklin Foundry,” which few manufacturing cities are with out. His memory is revered by all printers, who look upon him as their friend, the anniversary of his birth af fording them a first rate opportunity to hold an annual festival. Frai.klin was a great man. No one hab really filled the place he made vacant as yet, and I don’t just now think of one among my acquain tances who seems likely to. President Woolsey, of Yale, is said to have come to the conclusion that Joan of Arc was neither an impostor nor a fanat ic, but a woman directly inspired from on high. ADDRESS To the People of Georgia. We publish below the address to the people of Georgia, prepared b; the Cen tral Executive Committee, through its Chairman: Rooms Central Executive Committke) Os tbe National Democratic Party of > Georgia, Macon, Mayuh 27,1868. j To the People of Georgia : 1 The Committee appointed Ui accordance with the resolutions of the Convention held in the ci y of Macon on the sth andoth of last Decern* ber, with authority to call State Conventions m often as may be necessary, and to indicate at the proper time, the policy which, in their judgment, may be best adapted to subserve and promote tho public good, have deemed it inexpedient to call a State Convention, upon the short notice which must necessarily be giv en to cor si ler and determine what action snail be adopted in reference to the Constitution framed by the late Convention at Atlanta, aud to nominate a candidate to be run by the Demo cratic party of Georgia in the election to be held on the 20th of next month. Feeling the importance of diffusing early in formation among the people upon the subjects which will come before them, the Committee, in the exercise of the authorityvesiqdin them, resolved to proceed to immediate action, ana to indicate the polioy which, in their judgment, is best adapted to promote the public good. Two questions are presented to the people in the election whioh has been ordered for the 20th of April: First. Shall the paper submitted by the Con vention as the fundamental law of Georgia be ratified or rejected ? Second. Who shall administer the Govern ment under the new Constitution, if adopted ? Under the rules and regulations which will govern the approaching election, and looking to tho necessity of saving tho State from the disgrace and degradation of a domination which will carry ruin in its train, the polioy best adapted to promote the public good will be to vote against the Convention.” To enuinerato tho many objections which may be legitimately urge l against that instrument, would swell this address to an unreasonable length. jLhere is one so prominent and over whelming that we would ho derelict in duty to pass it by unnoticod. Wo call your speeia! attention to tho Ilth soction of the 11th article, which is in those words: “Should this Constitution be ratified by tho people, and Congress accept tho same with any qualifications or conditions, the government heroin provided for and the officers elected shall nevertheless exist, and oontinue in the exercise of their several functions, as tho gov ernment of thi* State, so far as the samo maybe consistent with the action of tho United States in the premises.” This section presents Gootgia in the attitude of seeking admission in the Union upon any Sialifieatxone or eonditione which the prosen t Hdieal Congress, bitter and malignant as it is, may presonbo. If the white peoplo oV Geor gia can stpop so low akto go bofore a Radical Congress in that attituflo, then, indeed, thoy will have drained the oub of humiliation to the very dregs. Lost to every sense of honor and recreant to the dearest, interest* of his State will he be who ean rote idra Constitution with snch a provision. What Georgian so base, and so forgetful of the honor of his native State, as to suhject our good old Commonwealth to such humiliation ? Let the -nstrumont containing the infamous proposition be rejected with scorn and Indignation. Wo use stroug language, but not stronger than the sutgeetdemands. If it be not out of place, we especially warn one class of our fellow-citizen*, who are oppos ed to the Constitution upon principle, and yet feel constrained to vote for it on Recount of the Eecuniary relief which it will afford them, to eware of the cheat ab'jjiit to bo imposed upon them. They excuse r vote for ratification V'' Tdana r obtain**, relief f; am an indcuted4jS» r W}> lm 'f..n or the de struction of ‘their ~r,y l»y thd Government, they are unable to ttiaatijurge. Those who in dulge in hopeti or roller from this source are doomed to be d-saV’l>oisAed. But their disap pointment is net tho pat part of the matter. It is deception practiced upon them which is most reprehensible. This deoeptiou is attempt ed by men who oncestqod high in pnblie favor. One who has enjqaed. ton greater extent, than any other individual the highest honor the people of Georgia eafibeftow, is urgent in his appeals to the people tfsEdopt tho Constitution on account pi tho-ola; ' hich relieves them toms.their debt*. Snows, and must know, that if tM-ConSttftuuon be submitted to Congress with an mvitsiion to qualify or modi fy it. a* they may •eeJßiper, it will come back shorn of its relief toSfcire, aud the expecta tions which he so lndmpljausly labors to excite Wnl never be realixsjjra'ijfkoso who may vote for the Constitution, u Jr the delusive hope of obtaining relief** f their indebtedness, will rush into the net i ):h is spread to catch them; but when in, thi, jit. whioh lured them on, wUI disappear, MSO*/ will be entangled in meshes fromwhidh ffiere will be no escape. Thereisbut ohe cofirM for honest men to pur sue, andrthat is th reboot indignantly the bribe whioh is offered for their votes, and with it the men who would deceive and betray them One other objeotion.to the adoption of the Con stitution, and the government it is intended to organise, we beg leave to urge, and that is the heavy expense it will entail upon the State. It may be saThly affirmed that if the new government shall go into operation according to the provisions of thgpropoaed Constitution, it will, upon a moderatTcstunato, cost tho State not leas than $3,000,000. Why throw tbi* heavy burden upon the peo ple in thmir preeent impoverished condition ? Why do it when there is no actual necessity for it? Wny the enormous expense for substitu ting anew Constitution in the plaoe of one al ready in operation, and with which the peoplo were content? Why must it be done? The correct answer is, it is to be done to increase, the number of voters, and to give the Radical party permanent pow# in the State. This is the true ohjeot, whatever may be the pj-etextto the contrary. And that class of persons for whose especubf benefit tjiis reconstruction mea sure is thrust upon the (State, and who are to be inyested with the right of suffrage in the new organization, will bear but little, if any of this heavy burden. Almost its entire weight WiU fall xpontbose whp own the taxable pro . petty. Will they stand it ? Let them answer Mthe polls on the 20th bf next month. 2. Who shall administer the Government un der.the newXflnstitution, If adopted ? Looking td a eontinjency that may occur, tho friends of order andTIOUI government in all the eouatiesjaqd Senatorial'districts of this Btate Are invoked to, Iffing fat their wisest and best men. who »re«!Sio to seats In the Legis lature, and not to remit their labors until they shall have secured their election. If the ConsHtuti I now to be voted on shall be adopted and the fundamental law of the land, the firsl Legislature which will as semble after its adcu'tVoj, will have tho most vital interests of the pedple in their hands, and will control the destinies of the State for years to come. How important, then, that legisla tion. in the commencement of tho near govern ment. take a right direction How immediately important that it ( be controlled by virtue and intelligence —by "wisdoki, justice and modera tion,” and not by ignorance, corruption and malignity. If the friends of good government prevail and secure a majority in both branches of the Leg islature, we may leel assured, at least, that our fellow-citizens will not be disturbed in tbe en joyment of tbeir political rights. But if, on the other hand, the government should fall into thehandßof men elected by an ignorant, irre sponsible constituency, having no interests to be affocted injuriously by unwise legislation, but having power tu inflict injury upon others by an improper choice of legislators, without wisdom or discretion to. direct them in the choice of rulers, or virtue to withstand the ap proaches of corruption, wo may become suhject to all tbe wrongs and oppression which a venal, corrupt aud malignant Legislature can in flict. ..If any person shall affect to believe (hat snch danger is not to be apprehended, let them look at the condition of the white race in Tennessee, and let the white people of Georgia be warned by her example, and save themselves while they can, from a like fate. If your judgments lead you to ratify the pro posed Constitution, unite with us in the election of honest and pure men'to'make laws, and ad minister tho government under it. Tho organ ization which we iSepresent meets the people of Georgia of all parties amt Views and feelings in a spirit of conciliation ano’harmony. Weprosontto the people no candidate for Governor as okr,otyoinee. and the representa tive of all our views. We findrinee the declen sion of Judge Reeae, whose noble, wise, self sacrificing, patrisSae letter » before you, a Geor gian already idnUl field—an honest, pure, up right Christian gentleman, Judge David Irwin, | of the oounty of Cobh. We believe he will ad- I minister tho goyerument of Georcia with an eye to the interests of all the people without re gard to party, or class, or race, should this Con stitution be ratified, and he he elected. We believe he will administer it honettly. Born in Georgia, thoroughly trained in the wants ofher Boople, and intimately acquainted with her ench and Bar, we believe thathewill appoint an honest and pure judiciary to expound what ever may be made the Constitution and the laws. Between such a man and his opponent we cannot hesitate a moment, nor do wo be lieve the overwhelming majority of the intolli genoo and worth of the State can hesitate. With him as Governor, and with wise and good men in the Legislature—Georgia may survivo. With the adventurers and plunderers installed into office, what is left of blood in her vein", will he drawn out by their avarice and lust for spoils, and the State must languish out a miserable ex istence, and die at last of complete depletion. Fellow-citizens 1 The issue is before you. Will you be ruled by wisdom, virtuo ar.d intel ligence, or by iguornnee, stupidity, venality and corruption ? Choose your fate. Recollect the immense patronage which will be plaoed in the hands of your Governor by the new Constitution, if it should bo adopted : The ecntrol of the Western and Atlantio Railroad, with its income of over $1,000,000 annually; the nomination of the Judges of the Supreme and the Superior Courts, the Attorney-General, So lieitors-Goneral, the Senatorial District Judges and Attorneys, the State School Commissioner, and to appointond commission Notaries Public, not to exceed one for each Militia Diatriot, for a term of four years, who shall be ex officio Justices of the Peace. This is a part of the patronage to be wielded by your Governor— and patronage is power. Will you place it in the hands of a native Georgian, in whose in tegrity you can oonfide, or in the hands of a stranger from another State with whom you are unacquainted, and of whose antecedents you are ignorant? If you select honest and intelligent men to legislate 'or you, and put an incorruptible pa triot in your Executive Chair, all will he well: but if your legislative halls shall be filled by men elected to represent an ignorant,debased, degraded constituency, aud if your Chief Magis trate shall depend upon the same power to put him in office, what otherresult oan be expected bnt that venality and corruption will 811 your offices, and be scattered broadcast over the land ? Your legislators being corrupt, corrup tion and malignity will enact your laws. To avert such a calamity will requiro your utmost exertions, and at this time, aud in thii crisis, it is absolutely nocessary that all who have not registered should do so at onoe, when an opportunity is presented. Georgia now expeett every man to do hie duty. „ , E. G. Cabaniss, Chairman Central Ex. Committee, National Democratic Party of Ga. HARDWARE. 500 Kegs CUT NAILS, assorted, 100 doz.
