The chimney directly over the office of

THE ELECTION IN AIOISTA.
Augusta, April 24.—The counting
of the votes is progressing slowly. It
will be several days before the result
is officially known. It is believed that
the Radicals have carried this District,
electing Prince to Congress and giving
a majority for the Constitution and
for Bullock. The Democrats claim
five out of the seven members elected
to Congress and a majority of the Leg
islature. The Republicans are confi
dent of Bullock’s election and the
Democrats ditto of Gordon, butull this
is conjecture. The official count will
show a close vote. The negro man
bayouetted by a soldier in the row
yesterday, was buried this afternoon,
and was followed to the grave by a
large procession of men and women.
All “ serene ” now.
WELL DONE, MI’.TITER.
We have great gratification! in an
nouncing, upon the authority of a pri
vate dispatch received in this city last
oightfrom a prominent citizen of Amer
icas, that Capt. John A. Cobb, has
certainly been elected one of the Rep
resentatives from this county, and
that Gordon will have a majority at the
close of the polls. "Well done, Sum
ter, we say again. We send hearty
thanks and greeting to the good men
no matter what the color of their skins
who have done this glorious work.

Second Baptist Church.—The ser
vices of laying the corner stone of this
Church took place as announced, on
Tuesday, in the presence of a large
crowd. Rev. B. L. Blitch opened the
exercises with a prayer, after which
Mr. Wills followed with a very able
and appropriate address, adapted to
the occasion.
Mr. Warren, also, addressed the as
sembly, making an appeal for aid in
completing the building. A good ma
ny 5 and 10 dollar bills were contribu
ted; but we understand that about
S1000 are yet lacking to complete the
structure. When we consider how
much such a church is needed in that
neighborhood, and how useful this is
likely to prove, we are constrained to
hope that the good and benevolent
people of Macon will lend a little more
timely assistance, and aid the strug
gling band to finish the work so auspi
ciously begun.
The house will be very handsome
ornament to that part of the city, and
quite an accommodation to the citizens
of that entire neighborhood.

And here let me remark, that no young
man or woman can ever hope to suc
ceed in their efforts to gain a position
in life until until they have learned the
value of money and time. A dollar
frequently spent, or an hour wasted,
is but a small item when taken alone;
but when measured in the account
of a single life, how vast the expendi
ture !
Parents, teach your children a useful
trade. No matter how great your
wealth may be, you have no sure
guaranty of possession for your chil
dren, or if you had, you have no secu
rity that they will use it wisely. The
best fortune you can leave them is a
good trade; wealth and friends may
fail, but a useful calling in life is an
ever ready friend in need. Nor can
you begin too soon. Delays are dan
gerous, in the individual as iu the State;
and if you would have a master crafts
man, do your work early and well.
And don’t imagine that trades are
for boys alone. Give the girls a chance
to battle with the world as well. The
time may come when they may be
thrown on their own energies for sup
port; then what a guardian will a good
trade be.
One of tlie greatest evils society has
to contend with at the present day
is, that so many of our boys and girls
are being brought up without any def
inite idea or purpose ot life. Work j
is considered degrading, and a trade, or ;
profession, fts fit only for those who
