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. ( Telegraph.— 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.

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 false key, entered a room in McComb’s Hotel, on the 21st inst., and carried off a ten gallon keg of whiskey. He was promptly overhauled by the military, when he offered fight, but was soon se- ‘ uredaud lodged in jail, where, wJiile the bruises he received in the struggle are healing, he can quietly reflect on the error of his ways. School Notices.—We refer our readers in Baldwin County, to the notices of Mr. L. Carring ton and Mr. Z. D. Ilariison, pioposing to open schools for a limited number of scholars in Jan- niry. It is useless to comment further: Our schools i avebeen neglected for four y§ars: Every intel ligent man, and woman, knows the importance of education. Christmas Times.—Joseph Fass ask the I'uh'ic to come jyid see their Christmas Goods, end try their prices. — Freedman’s Bureau.—Persons having busi ness with the Freedman’s Bureau, are refeired to the Card of Titos. White, Esq., Agent, atMilledge- ville, Ga. All contracts must be approved by him. On Saturday oight last, a gentleman, while purchasing toys for bis little folks, at Conn’s, who by-the by- has a most beautiful assortment,) dropped on tho floor fifteen dollars, (au X and a L) folded together. The person who picked it ”P .will receive five dollars of the money, the thanks of the gentleman who dropped it, and the consciousness of having done right, (which is be yond all ptico,) by leaving it with Capt. Conn. FF 3 Gen. D. H. Hid was in our city last woek, the guest of Dr. S. G. White. £3^ J. Ro3euncld & Co., nro constantly re ceiving new goods. J. Rosenfield is in New ^ ork, and being connected with a large business house in that city, can Afford to sell his goods cheaper than any other firm in this place. Hogs.—A small drove of hogs from Montgom ery county, were sold in this city last woek. nt I2£ cents neat. tliis force should be white troops Iu the House, Mr. Farnsworth intro duced a preamble and resolution instruct ing the Committee on Elections to exam ine into the alleged disloyal statements of Mr. Harris, of Maryland, and report the same to this House, together with such further action as they may recommend.— Adopted.; A resolution was adopted in the House, by more than a two-third vote, to submit lo the Legislatures of -the Several States an amendment to the Constitution forever prohibiting the assumption of tho Confed erate debt. 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.— Chron. Sen. 19l/t. 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. withdrawal of Federal • 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 the first soldier of the United States army. ^ ^ ^ 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 /o FIERCER imiVKK.NITV. 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 Telegraph. (- Labor.—The greatest difficulty our planters will have to contend with, is to secure reliable la bor. That is a thing they must have in order to successfully carry on their business. The freedman must fulfil his contracts. And unless he does so willingly, measures must be adopted to compel him to. Let all planters agree not to hire refugee hands on any terms. Let county meetings be held, and a system of some kind be agreed upon and carried put.

After having exhibited to bis guest all the modern improvements, the professor said to hint— ■ “You have noiv seen, I believe, all that is now in the institution except the gym- nasiutn.
