Saturday Morning, Feb’y 17, 1866.
Methodist Church Affairs.
Rev. J. H. Caldwell writing fcwm
LaGrange, Ga., * weakly letter to »the
Griffin Weekly Union. He takes occa*
•ion in this letter to lampoon the M. E.
Church South generally, and the editor
of the Sold hern Christa in Advocate
especially. He thinks there is no hope
for the Methodist Church in this half
of the vineyard unless they go back to
those who kicked them out in 1854. He
very conveniently saddles the whole
pack of our national troubles upon the
back of the Churches.
He intends to prove several things in
a future letter which he proposes to
write, if the editor>will allow him—we
guess he will— among which is the
that there are some members of the
Southern Church who ate not willing to
feed at the crib to which they are hitch
ed, but want another hand to administer
the bread of life to them. W e have
some knowledge of this class of men,
and We wish ‘Bro. Caldwell, and the
•‘Mission” with which he is connected
all success with them.
This letter throws some light upon a
.subject which we did not before under
stand. Our readers dill recollect that
about a month ago a list of ministers
was published who were put in charge
of certain districts in this State. It ap
pears from this letter that Bishop Clark
has visited this city, and out of a few
ministers, who were either satisfied with
the Church South, or had never been in
it, Conference which, we pre
sume, will be attached to the Northern
general Conference. The editor of the
Southern Chridain Advocate chose te
condemn the organization, and that is
what brought this Kttle religious vitupe
ration and bombast on the part of the
letter writer to the Union.
Reconstructing Texas.
The radical papers are attempting to
raise a “hue and cry” because’Texas is
being reconstructed by “original seces
sionists.” What if the State is being
reconstructed by such men ? They are
the very ones to do it. They took the
State out of the Union, and they ate the
very men to nullify the acts of the
convention of 1851, and take the State
back into the Union. They are the very
men who ought to disavow the policy
which led to a rupture of
And if we were a radical —which,
thank our lucky stars, we are not—-we
Would have more the States
if they were all resurrected by such
men, than if the work were done by
those professedly “loyal” men who re
fused their allegiance to their States.
But our radical brethren of the press
are mistaken in the character of the
President of U"- Cw.rcnliou
whom they are assailing as a disunion
ist. He was one of the very few mem
bers of the convention of 1861 who
voted against secession. But it is not
singular that they should thus believe
him since they commenced the work two
days before the convention met, thus
showing that they know nothing at all
of what was going on in Texas.
A curious process for giving iron an
exceedingly high degree of hardness
has been discovered in France by M.
Gaudin. This chemist, some time since,
recorded the fact that by heating iron,
tolerably free from carbon, with a small
quantity of boron, a product so hard
that it cannot be forged may be ob
tained. He has now found that a sims
ilarly hard metal may .be obtained by
adding to ordinary cast iron, while in
fusion, phosphate, of iron and peroxide
of manganese. The iron produced in
this way cannot be forged, but it casts
easily, and is therefore thoroughly ap
plicable to the construction of such ma
chines as require in their material ex
treme hardness rather than tenacity.—
The metal so produced is, moreover,
singularly sonorous, and its invention
.suggests its employment in bell-foun
dries. He also states that he has dis
covered a species of alloy called tung
sten-iron, crystals of which are so hard
that they will cut glass as readily as
the diamond.
The Boston Journal lays: “The last
steamer brought the intelligence that
Professor Agassiz’s explorations on the
main stream of the Amazon alone had
resulted in the discovery of no less
than 1,163 species of fish, which is a
greater number than exists in. the
Mediterranean. In the great branches
of the Amazon—the Madeira (2,200
miles long), the Purus (1,400 miles
long,) the Rio Negro, Tapajos, Tocan
tins, lea and Japuria (each more than
a thousand miles long), it is estimated
that there are several hundred more

Mr. Anderson of jdlssouH, has intro
duced a joint resolution into Congress,
which proposes to rs-christen the United
States. Ho proposes “Americas” as a
much mere appropriate term for our groat
and growing country. don’t we the
necessity of the thing. If the tern
“United States,” is not significant enough
for our country, we think “America
would be less significant, and a deal too
eomprsheusive. By “America” we usu
ally understand two continents, a moder.,
ate portion of one of which constitutes
the “United States.” On these two oca.
tinents are some seventy-five or a hun
dred different governments, and different
kinds of governments, any one of whieh
is as much entitled to bo called an Amer
ican government, in the light of locality,
as is the United States, and either of
these have as much right to assume the
continental term as the United States has
The government under which we live,
is known all over the world as the “Uni
ted States,” and has managed to win
some respect, in fact a good deal of con.
sideration—from other governments, even
under that name. It means enough—
just what we are—a fraternity of sepa
rate and distinct States, united in one
band of sisterhood, clustering around one
common centre--the national head—the
general government. Would the name
“America * signify as much ? “America”
might well be applied to an empire or a
kingdom, but would not suit us half so
well as the name we have borne for near,
ly a century.
Ths country has grown too old to need
re-christening now. It will be time
. enough to change her name when she
changes her nature, which is her govern.
I ment. If by any fatality she should be
come wedded to any other form of gov
ernment, it will then be time enough to
lay aside heAmaideu name and take up
another that will suit her better.

Criminals in Alabama Pardon
ed.
With a view of restoring harmony
and peace among the people, and as
suage the animosities occasioned by the
late war, the Governor of Alabama has
issued a proclamation granting amnesty
and pardon to all persons who‘have, or
are liable to be prosecuted for offenses
committed against the laws of that
State, rape and murder excepted, dur
ing the period of hostilities. He furth
ermore calls upon the judicial officers
and all good citizens, by strict and im
partial justice and increased vigilance,
to give such effect to the laws of the
State and of the United States as will
insure peace and order, and thus vindi
cate the proposed measure of concilia* ■
tiqn, and remove for further
military surveillance.
Many acts of violence were commit
ted uader the excitement and passions
of a fierce and sanguinary struggle in
violation of the laws of the land, which
it is now not only desirable but proper
to excuse, with reasonable restrictions,
in order to promote peace and a perfect
reaonciliation among all classes ; and
we are glacTto see that Alabama’s ex
cellent Governor is fully alive to the
work of reconstruction in its every im
portant feature.
Southern Press Association.
Since the close of the war the South
ern newspapers have been cramped in
their news resources. Having no press
association in operation, they had not
the means of securing dispatches Over
the telegraph wires save at an expense
which very few were able to incur.
To obviate this difficulty a meeting of
the old Southern Press Association was
called to convene in Montgomery on the
14th Inst. The Mail of the IJJth says,
“this distinguished body assembled in
one of the parlors of the Exchange Hotel*
last night. In consequence of the failure
of the Eastern train to make the regular
connection, and the non-arrival of the
steamer from Selma, only a small number
of delegates had reported themselves last
evening. It was thought, however, that
quite a nuuber would reach the city du
ring the night.

Confederate TJtLSs.—A writer in
the Mobile Advertiser insists that the of-,
fleers of the ’ate Confederate army should
be called by their respective titles, and
says that each name, from the General
to the private, was paroled with his jap
propriate rank—recognized and recorded
as such. If an officer should commit an
offence in violation of his parole, it would
no doubt be justly considered as aggra
vated by his rank, and be held responsi
ble accordingly. Hence the railk of Con*
federate officers i« not a mere matter of
courtesy, or sentiment, but of actual ex
istence ; and if R. E. Lee sees proper te
write himself Gen. C. S. A., it is no ind - •
cation of a rebellious or treasonable Spir
it. It may not evince a becoming sense
of the responsibilities of a paroled priso
ner of war, and this view is sustained by
the practice of courteous gentlemen «f
the United States.

Whereas, the peowle of Georgia have

Strange Fatality.—We omitted last

were so conflicting as to be unreliable. —

On Friday evening, the 19th day of
January, a party oftlie neighboring young
men assembled at the house of
Mr. IsaaTScott, for the purpose of having
a dance. The night was- extremely
warm, and the dancers soon became wet
with perspiration. During the night a
heavy gale of wind commenced blowing,
and the weather suddenly became freez
ing cold, chilling the dancers to the bone,
and in some instances freezing their wet
clothing. In this condition they return
ed to their homes in the morning. Un
the following morning the first victim
was taken with a chill and died the next
day. Another and another followed in
quick succession, some living but a few
hours, and others longer. Up to the

Importing Laborers —A car load of
German emigrants on their way to Mem
phis, was rescued from the hands of an
emigration agent named Afterman, at
the depot, at Indianapols, on Thursday.
Aftcrmanjwas arrested, taken bq£pre a
German Justice, and so badly frightened
that he cut stick for New York, leaving
his emigrants there. He had contracted
for a year at from ten to fifteen dollars
per month, cash, and transportation,
etc., to be deducted. The German eny
grants are much excited about this emi
gration business.
We had occasion the other day to
mention that our friend Pool had lost a
cargo of these emigrants after they had
arrived in this city. This was not so
much owing to interference on the part
of persons trying to prevent the immi
gration of Germans into the south, as i 0
the planters themselves. No sooner
had the emigrants arrived at our land
ing, than they were beset by persons
who had not put themselves to any trou
ble to get them here, and by fair prom
ises, etc., were induced to forfeit their
contracts with Mr. Pool and the.agents
that had procured them on contract, for
planters in Mississippi, Tennessee and
Arkansas. It is, useless for us to con
demn the conduct of men thus surrupti
tiously ipterferingin the rights of others.
It is too palpably wrong to need com
ment
The first lot brought on by Mr. Pool,
was lost, it is true, but another lot was
subsequently received, and promptly
and safely forwarded to their destination,
and are now on the fiirms for which they
were originally procured.— Memphis

An Original Duel.—Old Golonel
Stubbins was an old genius, a queer com
pound of comic seriousness. Replete
with jokes, both original and selected,
he was not slow in hatching them up
and dealing them out in small doses on
different occasions. One evening at a
party, a young gentleman upon whom
the Colonel had told some cutting jokes,
feeling himself insulted, challenged the
Colonel to mortal combat. The chal
lenge was accepted. Having the choice
of weapons and the appointment of the
place of meeting, the Colonel told the
young man to repair, the following mor
ning at six o’clock, to a certain spot, and
added “that he would, see that the weap
ons were there.” The following morning,
at the appointed time, the young man
repaired to the indicated spot, near which
was a stone quarry. “Well youngster,”
said the Colonel, sticking his hands in
his pockets, “are you ready ?” Receiv
ing an affirmative answer, he continued ;
‘ Here’s where we are to fight,” point
ing to the quarry, “and there are our
weapons,” pointing to a heap of boul
ders at the bottom of the quarry. “You
are to go down there and throw those
atones up, and I’m to stay up here and
throw them down.” It is needless to
add that the challenge was withdrawn.
Glass Houses.—We clip the follow
ing from the New York Tribune, of the
3d instant.
“A Georgia paper assures us that the
disposition in the south to read new
books is unexampled. We are glad to
hear it. We hope also they will not
wholy neglect the old books. Let us
suggest the spelling book, Lindley Mur
ray, and the New Testament. They are
old, but they will be new down south.”
The Tribune of the same date, pub
fcihes a letter on public lands in lowa,
from a Mr. Durand, to which is appended
the following paragraph, signed by the
editor himself, and for which he is there
for* altogether responsible:
“If Mr. .Durand is one of that unfortu
nate minority who don’t read the Tri
bune, wo pity him ; but bis mishap is not
beyond remedy. Let him read it and be
sure that Mr. Dodge is mistaken.”

CONFEDERATE ORPHANS.
A~S Btxa BY HKNRT A WISH.
In Richmond, a few days ago, Henry
A. Wise delivered an address in behalf
of the orphans of Confederate soldiers,
and it is proof that he lias not forgot
ten how to talk. He spoke thus:
Oh! ashes of men, and ashes of
houses of Richmond I People of Bos
ton and New York, unsolicited, have
contributed a initc, at least, to feed the
orphans of your sons who fell in your
defense, and these orphans have, for
months, been drawing their daily bread
from the commissariat of your invaders
and conquerors] Cannot you do some
thing more than you have for orphan
children, the fathers of some of whom
bled and died for you and yours —your
laws, your liberties, and (what seems
most precious now a-days) your “prop
perty,” your “gold,” which you hold so
fast, yet spend so vainly.
Mr. Wise thus discoursed of the
bravery of Confederate soldiers:
The noblest of men who ever
fought, or who ever fell in the annals
of war, whose glorious deeds history
ever took pen to record, were, I exult
ingly claim, the private s ddiers in the
armies of the great Confederate cause.
Whether right or wrong iu the cause
which they espoused, they were earn
est aud honest patriots in their convic
tions, who thought that they were right
to defend their own, their native land,
its soil, its altars and its honor. They
felt that they were no rebels and no
traitors in obeying their State sover
eignties, and they thought it was lawful
to take up aims under their mandates,
authorized expressly by the Federal
Constitution to repel invasion or to
suppress insurrection, when there was
such “imminent danger as not to admit
of delay.”
The only reason for the delay which
could have been demanded of them was
to have appealed to the invaders them
selves for denfense against lheir own
invasion; and whether there was immin
ent danger or not, events have proved.
They have been invaded until every
blade of grass has been trodden down,
until every sanctuary of temple, and
fame, and altar and home has been pro
faned. The most of these men had no
stately mansions for their homes; no
slaves to plough and plant broad fields
of others; no stocks or investments in
interest bearing funds. They were
poor, but proudly patriotic and indom
itably brave. Their country was their
only heritage.
The mothers and wives and daugh
ters buckled on the belts and sent hus
bands and sons and brothers forth, and
women toiled for the bread and spun
the rainment of “little ones” of shanty
homes in country, or of shops in the
towns while their champ'os of defense
were in their country’s camphor march
es; pr trenches, or battles! They faith
fully followed leaders whom they knew
and h6rored and trusted. Nor Cabi
nets, nor Congees, nor Cominissiarat,
nor Quartermaster’s Department, nor
speculators, nor spies, nor renegades,
nor enemies’ emmissaries, nor poverty,
nor privations, nor heat, nor cold, nor
sufferings, nor toil, nor danger, nor
wounds, nor death could impair their
constancy! They fought with a devo
tion, confidence and courage which was
unconquerable save by starvation, block
ade, overwhelming numbers, foreign
dupes and mercenaries, Yankeedom,
nigrsrerdom and death!
Prodigies of valor, miracles of vic
tories, undoubted and undoubting devo
tion, and endurance to the last, entitled
them to honors of surrender, which
gilded the arms of their victors and ex
torted from them cheers on the battle
field vOhe.ie at last they yielded for
peace! Alas! how many thousands
had fallen before their few surviving
comrades laid down their arms. Os
these men of the ranks their beloved
leader, General R. E. Lee, said to me
during the last winter on the lines:—
“Sir, the men of this war who will de
serve the most honor and grattitude are
not the men of rank, but the men of
the ranks—the privates.”
After telling what he had seen them
do in battle, he added:
Aud I have seen them fire their last
vollies at Appomattox; and often in the
marches, on picket, in the trenches, in
camps and in charges, I have seen them
sad and almost sink, but I never saw
their tears until their beloved Comman.-
der-in-Chief ordered them to surrender
their arms, Then they wept, and many
of them broke their trusty weapons.—
The blessed and ever glorious dead
were not there to surrender,, and they
are not here to defend their memories
from the taint of the reproach of rebel
lion and treason. Alas! I am alive*
and here, and am bound, at every haz
ard, to declare that those men were no
rebels and no traitors. Let whoever
will swear that they were rebels and
traitors, I will contradict the oath, and
appeal to God on the Holy of Holies as
high a Heaven’s throne, and swear
that they were pure patriots, loyal citi
zens, well tried and true soldiers, bravo
honest, devoted men, who proved their
faithintheir principles by the death
which canonized their immortal heroes
and martyrs!
No one shall inscribc'the epitaphs ot
rebellion and treason upon the tombs of
their dead, withontmy burning protest
being uttered against the foul and false
profanation. And if any wounds of the
living ar.» labelled with rebellion and
treason, I would !ear away the infamy,
though the wounds should bleed unto
death. If I suffer their names to be
dishonored and their glory to be tarn
ished, and don’t gainsay the reproach,
may my tongue cleave to the roof of
my mouth; and if I suffer their orphans
to be outcasts for the want of syrnpa J
thy, warmly outspoken and more warm
ly felt, mgy my right hand forget its
cunning. Alasl in these times it has no
cunning, for it has no coins! I too am
a beggar. I can beg, then, and do beg
like a Belisarus, tor them. Please give
them one obohis! Have you a crumb
to spare? Divide it with them. I im
plore, gixe them some of your abund
ance! Their enemies who slew thdir
fathers, honor them enough to feed their
poor orphans! They won’t hurt yon for
daring to do deeds of charity. Many
of them are brave men, and the brave
are always generous to the brave.

ding fc with a grim smile, “you, howevi r,
always present beautiful ladies.” The
I Empress asked Mrs. Bigelqw if there
were “many of her compatriots in Paris
! now,” and upon Mrs. Bigelow replying
that “the hope of the honor of a pre
sentation to her Majesty kept many of
them here,” the Empress smiled, and
courtesied herself away.
Names of Countries. — Europe sig
nifies a country of white complexion;
so named because the inhabitants thejje
were of a higher complexion than those
of either Asia or Africa.
Asia signifies between, or in the mid
dle, from the fact that the geo
graphers then placed it between Europe
and Africa.
Africa signifies the land of corn or
ears. It was celebrated for its abun
dance of corn and all sorts of grain.
Spain is a country of rabbits or
nonies. This country was once so in
fested with these animals, that the in
habitrnts petitioned Augustus for an
army to destroy them.
Italy, a country of pitch, from its
yielding great quantities of black
pitch.
Gaul, modern France, signifies yellow
haired; as yellow hair characterized its
first inhabitants.
Hd>ernia' t is utmost, or last inhabi
tants; for beyond this, westwards, the
Phoenicians, we are told, never extended
their voyages.
Britain, the country of tin; as’ there
were great quantities of lead ' and tin
found on the adjacent island. The
Greeks call it Albion, which signifies
in the Phoenician tongue, either white
or high mountains, from the whiteness
of its shores or the fitigh rocks on the
western coast.
Youthful Depravity.—On Friday last
a boy fourteen years old, and a girl of
the age of fifreen, left their respective
homes, and their whereabouts could not
be ascertained. Information was given
to Captain Cassel of the affair, when that
officer, assisted by Sergeant Cadwalla
der, proceeded to search for the runa
ways. From certain information re
ceived, they were induced yesterday to
go to Washington city, and in company
of officer Brewer of that place, who ren
dered tbern much assistauce, they learn
ed that the boy and girl bad arrived iu
Washington on Friday evening and had
taken a room at a place called Turner
Hall, where they were to pay fifty cents
a day for board. They remained’ here
only a short time, the board being rath
er high, and took a room at the place of
Mr. Nichols, on the Avenue, near the
Capitol. Here the girl engaged to work
for her board, and the boy started in
the newspaper business. The arrival
of the officers suddenly checked their
dream of happiness, although they both
asserted they never would be separated.
They were brought to this city last
night, the boy being delivered to his
father and the girl to'her guardian.—
