A Merry Christmas to you, reader! May
,.p sa d memory rise up, like Banquo’s ghost, to
gr your happiness! May sorrows und disap
^ointments be foigotten,
< \nd all the c’onds that lower’d upon our house
in the deep bosom of the Ocean buried”,
and tire sweet voice of Hope be again heard, as
she sings of a “pood time coining.”
Tur. Capital.—The agitation of the question
pf removal of the Capital has been very injurious
to the growth and prosperity of Milledpeville—
it has prevented investment in, and improvement
of. city property. We think no feat a of lomoval
need now be entertained. The State will not, for
jjmny years, be able to build a new Capitol, and
w hen she is, tbe central position of Milledpeville,
its accessibility, the plighted faith of the State,
a nd the impossibility of deciding between Macon
and Atlanta, will all conspire to keep it at this
place. Ws, therefore, trust that the Legislature
will put the question forever at rest by declaring
it here permanently located, and making liberal
appropriations for the improvement of tbe public
mounds and putting tbe public buildings in a
pel feet state of repair.
Prov. Gov. Johnson, in his messago to the Leg-
slature. says :
“Discussion and experiment suggested, that the
Supreme Court should hold its sessions at the
Capital. The suggestion was adopted and caused
into execution by the Convention. To complete
the work of good policy thus tardily begun, it is
proper and expedient that the Capitol itself should
be here declared and considered permanently lo
cated. Here it occupies a central and accessible
position in the midst of a section once fertile and
passing beautiful. Man impelled by avarice and
prodigality has partially destroyed and wasted the
lavish gifts of nature, but through industry and a
new social economy these desolations may be re
paired.
The public grounds should he enlarged, improv
ed and ornamented, the Halls of Legislation
ought to impress the spectator with t ; e power of
tlio State, and her courts of justice with the ma
jesty of the law. Annually, improvement should
be added to improvement and ornament to orna
ment, until tbe name of the Capitol shall become
a praise to tbe whole people.”
The Legislature adopted a resolution in relation
to the improvement of the public grounds and
buildings, end appointed a join^oimnitteethere
on, consisting of Messrs. Kenan and Griffin of the
Si nate, and Messrs. McComb, Smith of Hancock,
and Duiham of the House. We learn that Col.
Frobel is now engaged in drawing plans and ma
king estimates in reference to said improvements
Mechanics.—MilleJgeville now presents a fine
field for industrious and energetic mechanics. In
times past much of the mechanical work required
fortliecity and surrounding .country, was execn
teJ at the Penitentiary, but that institution is not,
at present, prepared to do any work, and the field
isopen to private enterprise. Our mechanics are
awake to their interest, and are starting shops
and preparing themselves to supply the wants of
oar people. We are glad to see this: for sober,
industrious and reliable mechanics are the very
best part of the population of any city; and if
we cau only get a sufficient number of them star
ted in business in our midst we will soon see, ail
around us, evidences of prosperity.
Cakf.s, Candies, Ac.—The people of Mil-
ledgeville and vicinity will be pleased to know
that there is a Bakery in the city, where they can
get fresh bread every day. See advertisement of
Henry Shultz.
rt We aie gratified to learn that Maj. H. J
G. Williams of Baldwin county, has been ap
pointed one of the Secretaries of the Execntive
Department, by Gov. Jenkins. Maj. Williams is
a good officer, and the Governor could not have
made a better selection.
I/ATEST NEWS.
Washington, Dec. 19.—In the Senate
to-day a resolution was offered calling on
the Secretary of . War for a detailed state
ment of the numerical strength of the
regular army.
Mr. Trumbull gave, notice of a bill to
enlarge the powers of the Freedman’s
Bureau so as to secure freedom to all per
sons in the United States, and to protect
all individuals in the full enjoyment of per
son and property, aud also to furnish them
with the means of vindication.
A message was received from the Presi
dent in re^tion to the condition of affairs
at the South, which 6ays:
“From all the information in our posses
sion and from that which I have recently
derived from the most reliable authority,
t am induced to cherish the belief that
sectional animosity is surely and raoidly
merging itself into a spirit of nationality,
and that representation, connected with a
properly adjusted system of taxation, will
result in the harmonious restoration of the
States to the National Union.”
The President also furnishes a commu
nication from Gen. Grant, in which that
officer says:
“I had free conversation with the peo
ple of the South during my recent tour,
nd I am satisfied that the people have
accepted the present situation of affairs in
good faith.”
Gen. Grant also says: “There is an
unusual acquiesence in the authority of
the General Government, throughout the
country that I visited, and the mere pres
ence of a military force, without regard to
numbers, is sufficient to maintain order,
s*
End of the Provisional Government.■—
Every Georgian will rejoice the an
nouncement made in our telegraphic col-
umd, that the provisional government over
our good old State has been brought to an
end. However well it may have been ad
ministered, it was a government not of our
choice, but imposed on us by the strong
band of military power; hence, it could
not be otherwise than distasteful, if not
positively odious. But it has gone, and
we will all rejoice over its departure.
Of tbe retiring Governor, it may he ex
pected that we should say a word. We
have no doubt that he acted conscientiously
in the discharge of his difficult duties, and
perhaps he has succeeded in doing ns much
for us with the authorities at Washington
as any other agency could have accom
plished. For this we should respect him,
and feel duly thankful. The onlyiff|attire
in his administration that would qualify
the kindly remembrance of the people of
Georgia, is the apparent absence of all
sympathy for them in their great misfor
tunes,
es—all
Legislature—gave many manifestations of
this lack of feeling, and in this respect,
stand in striking contrast with those of
Gov. Perry, of South Carolina, Gov. Shar
key, of Mississippi, and Gov. Marvin, of
Florida. But let that pass ; he has done
something to deserve the thanks of our
people, and we wish him well in the re
tirement to which he has gone.

New York, Dec. 15.—The World’s
YV ashington special says: Two banks,
with a capital of $200,000 each, were
chartered to-day, at Charleston, South
Carolina.
Upwards of two millions of curren
cy have been issued to National Banks
within the last two days. The total
amount now issued is $223,400,000.
It is announced that the Secretary
of the Treasury has now good reason
for being satisfied that the wants of
the War Department will r.ot amount
to anything like what he was led to
suppose they would be. Many circum
stances have occurred since the esti
mates were made to warrant the con
clusion now reached and believed by
the Secretary to be correct. He is
very confident he can get along during
the present year without further loans
and without increasing the public
His public documents'and speech-! debt, and is of opinion that next year
except his late message to the he will certainly be able to diminish
it very much.

Wiiat has on: City Council done ?—Other
cities have appointed extra police force during
the Christmas Holidays, to assist the military and
civil officers, in preserving order. Has the au
tliorities of Milledgeville taken any steps towards
protecting the citizens and enforcing order? If
so, what have they done? If they have done any
thing. Jet it be known. An/ounce of preventive
is worth a pound of cure. There should be prompt
c 'Operation between the citizens and the military,
and a knowledge of the fact that preparation had
been made to preserve order, would go a loDg ways
in preventiug disturbance of any kind. ,
Since the a.iOve was written, we have learned
that the City Council has taken proper action in
the premises. ^
Vit John Bethea, (Freedimii), by means of a

An flan for Reflection—And Action
Also.—On Friday a burly negro at the
lower end of the city, committed some
misdemeanor—what it was we are not in
formed. But something was done, which
made him liable to be arrested ; and an
officer near by proceeded to perform his
duty. Tho negro at once drew a “six
shorter,” and threatened to use it on any
person who laid hands upon him. This
of course interfered somewhat with the
officer’s’ plans. A young man near by
made a Hank itlovement, and succeeded iu
wrentehingtbe pistol from the grasp of the
belligerent son of Ham. The officer then
rushed up and secured him.
As tho negro was being taken to the
lock up, he turned, and shaking his first at
the young man who took the weapon from
him, remarked that he would “pay him
for so doing at Christmas.” This may
have only been a bravado^hreat. It may
have4)060 a threat which had some mean
ing to it. Taking the existing state of af
fairs into consideration, perhaps it would
be well to accept the latter interpretation;
and be prepared. It is an old saying Btbat
an ounce of preparation is worth a pound
of cure.”
There is pnly one truly sensible- way to
look at this thing. If we are fully pre
pared for deeds of violence and blood,
and none are committed, all right—no
harm can result fxon^being ready for an
emergency. prepared, and
we have rej^^^^^^Hhe scenes of >t.
Domingo—the results.—
Let us be on tnc^i^Tor the w r orst. Let
a large voluntary police force be organized
for thirty days or more, immediately. It
is high time the organization was made.—
Let it be done at once. “Delays are dan
gerous.” In these times, doubtly so.—

Negro Disturbances
A rumor has been current in this city for a Jay
or two past to the effect that a serious difficulty
had occurred at Thomasville, in this State, be
tween the whites and blacks, occasioned by the
aggressive and lawless conduct of some of the
latter. We have not been able to learn the par
ticulars of the affair any farther than that the ex
citement produced in the community attained
such a pitch as to render it necessary to parade
the military as a conservator of the peace.
The recent manifestations in diflerent parts of
the State, of insubordination and violence by
evil disposed freedmen, clearly demonstrate the
necessity for an immediate organization of volun
teer companies in the several counties, under the
recent pioclamation of Governor Johnson, to act
as a “police force” to aid the civil authorities in
their respective counties to suppress violence
and preserve order. We regret to say that tho
necessity for the precautionary step is becoming
more apparent every succeeding day.

• Good work going on in Atlanta.—Tbe
Atlanta papers state that the good work
of arresting the vagrants in tho streets of
that city still continues. If the rule of
arresting vagrants in a*ll cities was carried
strictly out as it ought to he, there would*
be less suffering, and less crime committed
in our large places, and more contentment
and better order on the plantations. Let
the freedmen understand that they will
be taken care of if they are caught loiter
ing, about, and they will soon find some
thing to do that will keep them employed^.
Southern Congressmen in Washington.—
The Washington Chronicle noticing the
arrival of Southern members in Washiiig-
ington, mentions the names of Messrs.
Cabaniss, Matthews, Christy, Wofford,,
Cook and Cohen of this State. The list
comprises all except those from North and
South Carolina, Florida in either branch
of Congress, except those of the members
from Tennessee and Virginia.
The same paper, commenting upon their
presence in Washington, says they are
having free and friendly intercourse with
the Northern and Western members, and
are everywhere treated with marked cour
tesy. Generally, there is no disposition
on either side to show what may be called
discontent at dela^. or eagerness to pro-
(ract their exclusion.
The impression prevails that they will
be admitted before the close of the pres
ent session. This will certainly be so,
says the Chronicle, if the States continue
to act up to the requirements of the Presi
dent. "
Cheeringm—The National Intelligencer,
the official organ of the Administration at
Washington, thinks “it is plain that the
time approaches, when President Johnson
will be justified, by his own view of the
situation, in issuing a proclamation declar
ing that the States lately in arms against
the General Government are entitled to
representatives in Congress; and deems
it not improbable thaj before the close of
the coining session, we shall witness a
complete restoration of the Union, in all
its political and financial integrity and
power.” This is cheering news. Ana
coming as it docs from a high official
source, it can very properly be looked up
on as fore8bado ving the policy the Presi
dent intends to pursue towards the South
contempt for his military character.
New York paper says :
Except with the political and personal
partisans of Gen. Butler, we imagine that
Grant’s criticisms upon his military career
will be considered severely just. Butler
ia charged with direct violation of orders
in one case, with impertinent assumption
in another, and again with the grossest in
capacity in tbe management of bis army,
followed by the most damaging results ;
and he states that finally his request for
his removal was peremptory.
This hangman of brave men and war
rior np#n women lias got bis deserts fioin

A Murderer Face to Face With
His Victim.—Gonzales, one of tbe mur
derers of the Cuban Otero, at New York,
but who persists in asserting his own in
nocence, was taken to the dead house,
where the lifeless body of his victim was
lying, on Monday, without being conscious
of the presence of the dead. When he
stood beside the shrouded corpse tho cov
ering was removed, and jiis dark evil eye
fell on tho ghastly face of the murdered
man. Instantly a tremor shot through his
frame, a gurgling sound issued from his
throat, his face grew absolutely livid, his
lips parted and a choking sensation came
over him. With an indescribable expres
sion of horror and fright he turned his face
away from the mu*e witness of his crime,
and could not be induced to look on it
again

This institution has stood firm, and kept
its head above the water, as the political
storms have raged so fearfully around it.
its exercises have not been suspended for
a single day. Its large endowment fund
kept it free from embarrasmeut during the
war, and at tho time of tbe surrender it
was educating wounded and disabled sol
diers, from almost every Southern State,
free of all charge. Dr. N. M. Crawford,
so long its President, has recently gone to
Georgetown, Ky. Dr. Wm. T. Brantly,
of Augusta has been elected to succeed
him. The high accomplishments of Dr.
B. and his wide-spread reputation as *a
scholar, eminently fit him for the position
of Iionor and responsibility to which ho has
been called.
The last term was the inauguration of
a most encouraging beginning under the
new state of affairs. About fifty pupils
were in attendance, and every college class
was. ieprcsentcd. The deportment of the
students is said to be more commendable
than ever before, whilo every one was a
student indeed. The faculty is now on the
ground and at the re-opening of the Univer
sity spring session, they will be ready to
offer every facility for educating the
young men of our country that can be
enjoyed any win re.
a he financial crisis has embarrassed the
institution somewhat for the ensuing year,
hut she turns with confidence to her old
and tried friends, who will not forsake her,
in this her day of trial. She has still left
an endowment of more than -$100,0i0 in
good stock, but no dividends are being
pajd, so that she needs, and will doubtless
receive? voluntary contributions sufficient
to defray expeuses for the ensuing year.
Her prospects for patronage are more flat
tering than her most hopeful friends could
have anticipatated. We hope the Univer
sity may long live to reinforce annually
from her classic walls the army of noble
and virtuous men, who, from their vari
ous positions of usefulness, now look back
to their Alma Mater with affectionate
anxiety for her future prosperity.—Macon

willingly, measures must be adopted
to compel him to. Let all planters

' Cimes have Changed.—An incident

very far to establish as a fact ‘this is a
world of change.’ A Yale alummus of

long absence, to visit his alma flutter, and
wa%very courteously received aud ‘shown

‘What, sir!’ exclaimed the guest,
starting back in real or simulated aston
ishment.
‘Why,’ exclaimed tbe professor, ‘wc.

I would like to go there and roll a string
of ten-pins with you.’
Roll ten-pins with you sir V cried the
alamnus with a gleam of malicious fun in
his eye; ‘why, sir, I was expelled from
