Cottox.— There has been a good demand during the
week, aud prices are decidedly stiffer. Mid<Uing quali
ties have improved most. The sales amounted to 4.>,-
000 bales, of which speculators took 9,000, and export

olent and threatening manifesto, declaring his determi
nation to bring the l'orte to terms by force of arms.
By a telegraphic dispatch from the French Consul,
at Bucharest, dated November 6, it W an matured that
the second and third divisions of the Turkish force
had defeated the fourth division ul the Russians m-ai
Portugal. The Russians had retired towards Bucharest
with loss killed and wounded, including 14 offi
cers of high rank.
A Russian war steamer hsd been burnt by the Tuik
near Arsova. The Russian forces defeated, constituted
the body f the army in the Principalities, undei
Geo. Dannenburg.
The Turks have also been victorious in Asia, under
Suilim Pasha, aud were pressing in strong forte to
wards Bucharest.
It is now believed that all attempts to settle the diffi
culty by diplomacy must foil—at least until a decisin
battle shall be fought.
The Russian army has been reduced by sickness to
80,000, and no re-iniorceiuents could arrive under six
weeks from the last accounts.
Austria having coscentrated large bodies of troop*
on har frontiers, the .Servian Government have uotihco
the Porte neither Austria or Prussia. should he a:,
lowed to occupy that territory, aud their j.q illation
was called ujh*u to arm. It is reported that Austria
thereupon pledged neutrality ou uuydition the Porte
would give employment in his army to Au.-ti lau refu

LEGAL FORMS, Far ormn-ju in Georgia —
Arrange® by a Member or rut Mauav B.*u:
We hare in Press, and will issue in a few weeks, a
book of the above title, which we are warrant si in say
ing is superior, in many respects, to any work of a simi
lar character now in use in this State. Many t the
Forms which it contains, have beau elaborated with
great care, and will be of great service to the members
of the legal profession ; but they are designed, particu
larly, for the use of unprofessional men, legal officers
and others, who have frequent occasion for our com
mon legal loans, aud are so arranged that they may fit
employed, by this class of persons, witfaju; any difficui
ty whatever. The demand, for a work of this kind,
has influenced us to publish it The edition vvili be
•mall, and those who desire to secure a copy must mak<
early application. A liberal discoeut will be allowed t<
booksellers, who purchase fifty copies. We subjoin ;
few of the recommendations of the work, w ith which
we hare been kindly furnished by members of out Bar
M acon, Nov. 1, i SC;',.
| Messrs. Rose A Nisbet: —As far as permitted by en
gagements, I have examined your bock, of Ixgal Forn a,
and find the forms correct, and believe the book will la
useful to the community.
ABNER P. POWERS, t. s. c , m. c.
VI NEVILLE, Nov. 18, 1865.
Messrs. Rosa A Nkbet: —I have looked through the
book of “Legal Forms” which you politely sent me, and
have no hesitation in saying that it is in on opinion
the very best Book of the kind extant, touching sik-I
forms as it professes to embrace.
S. T. BAILEY.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 21st, 1*53.
Messrs. Rosb A Nisbbt :—I have looked through you;
compilation of Legal Forms, and think them well draw;
up, and that they will be f great service, not only t<
persons of business generally, but of great assistance ti
the members of the Bar in their practice.
L. N. WHITTLE.
~ I concur in the above recommendation.
WASHINGTON POE.
Macox, Oct. 28, 1855.
Gextlemex:— l have examined your Book of Legs'!
Forms, now in press, and am of opinion that the same
will not only be valuable to the members of the legal
profession, but also highly useful to legal officers, and
men of business generally, I w*4i you success in your
publication.
Respectfully, B. IIILL.
Fire.
On Saturday night last, about one o’clock, the stable
of Mr. Hezekiah Thompson, < livingatxait one mile In m
the <atv, on the Perry road) was discovered to be •>
fire, and was consumed, together with thirteen hundred
bushels of corn, (his eutire crop) two very fine mules
and a horse. It was undoubtedly the work of au incen
diary. It is much to be regretted, a* Mr. Thompson if
a verv aged citizen, nearly blind, and in moderate cir
cumstances.
Strawberries.
We have received from our friend Peabody, of Col
umbus, a specimen of ripe Strawberries, taken from the
•pen ground on the 26th insL On as.ngle plant, there
are seven large ripe berries, ten green ones, snd one
Sower. Mr. P. says that he hsfi a bed. “which presents
all over the same appeareuce as the plant rent’’ us.—
Here is positive proof that with proper skill and atten
tion, Strawberries may be ltad during the greater part
of tbs year. The plants producing these Strawberries
ere ** Horsy’* Seedling.”
Ptr There are in the Congressional representation
of New York, eleven Whigs, nine National, and thirteen
Free Seal Democrats. A majority of the member* from
this State, therefore will go iato Congress, epfioscii to
the Administration. Among the thirteen Free Soil
Democrats, seven represent districts which have declar
ed against the Administration, and in favor of the Union
Democracy, at the recent election.
Important Sales.
We call the attention of our readers to the advertise
ment of a sale of town lots in Americua, ou the first
Tuesday in December, by J. A. S. Turner, aud others,
which will bo found in our columns. Americtts is one
of the healthiest and most flourishing villages in South-
Western Georgia, and its business and population has
increased, aud the value of its real estate has rapidly
appreciated, in anticipation of the early completion to
that point of the South Western Railroad. It offers
great inducements to those who are seeking a pleasant
residence, or a favorable business location.
We would also direct attention to the large and per
emptory sale of city lots in Brunswick, on the 12th
day of January next, which is advertised in our columns
to-day.
Too Fast.
General Pierce’s Administration is a failure, and is
broken down already, though it has not yet completed
the first year of its existence, for it has arrayed against
it opposition in the Democratic patty, which is suffi
cient to crush it. tSjK-culations already begin to be
made as to his successor, and no pater except his own
organ at Washington has vcntnrvd to intimate a desire
for his re-election. The following is an extract from a
late letter of lon, the Washington corrwsjiondeot of
the Baltimore Sun :
“The empire State o( the North, and the empire
State of the South, will take the lead, at the next Presi
dential election, in presenting a National IVioocrat for
the suffrage-, of the American people. \\ lut do you
think of Dickinson and Cobb for a team? It maybe
considered that the canvass for the next Presidency has
already commenced, and that it will give a direction to
the acts and discussions of the coming Congress.—
Perhaps we may see some indications of anew organi
zation of parties, in reference to the next Presidency,
in the choice of S{taker ol the House, and of the
public printer.”
Dickinson will do, for he has proved his devotion to
principle, bv sacrifices of influence and position, and
has shown that he is made of sterner slut: than the
majority of the public men of these latter days. But
the connection <*f Cobb’s name with that of Dickinson,
is rather singular. Cobb is a re-organized Democrat—
Dickinson a disorganizing Democrat—Cobb is a disap
pointed applicant for office fmm the Secession Den.o’
eraev of Georgia -Dickinson spurned office when prof
fered him by the Administration, as the price of his
influence and support. Cobb is an Administration
man —Dickinson is a National Union Democrat—Cobb
sustaius the policy of the Administration in its appoint
ments—Dickinson has distinctly joined issue with it
upon this question. Cobb has elected to return to tlie
Democratic party, and has placed himseffj in his defeat, ‘
beyond the reach of our sympathies—Dickinson has
taken no step backwards, and will not en er an organi
sation which ptuscribes Union and Compromise men,
simply because it piofesscs to be a Democratic party.
Dickinson, Foote, Clemens and other Union Demo,
crats, have suffered martyrdom —Cobb bas surrendered
uid has been slaughtered. He has abandoned the
Union organization—he has entrusted bis jsditical for
tunes to the Coal.tioa of Factions, which calls itself the
Democratic Party, and must look to t for bis chances
of future promotion. If in the progress of events, the
Whig and Democratic organizations are abandoned—
and the elements of these two great national parties are
segregated, and anew organisation of the sound mate
rial of each, shall be formed, Union Democrats aud
Union Whigs, will be the recognised leaders of this
new aud pure natioual parly, who have never bartered
j rinciple for place, and then disavowed the bargain be
cause they were cheated.
But it is idle to speculate upon the candidate or the
canvass for the Presidency, iu 1856, at this early day.
The Party is not now formed which will elect the next
President—and the issues are scarcely developed upon
which the canvass will turn. One thing, however, is
eei tain, if there is any significance in the indications of
the present, and, that is that the |eople will make the
candidate and elect him, independent of jmliticians and
letter-writers and hired chequers of this or that individ
uals claims. General Pierce's nomination was obtained
by management; and General Pierce has disapjiointed
eveiy body, and deceived his own friends. The people
I will hardly take his successor ujion trust, whoever way
be the sponsors for his integrity and capacity.
Uvt*” The senior Editor of the Savannah Republican
in a letter from Mil ledge ville, of the 24th inst., iu con
nection with the subject of the removal of the seat of
Government, thus notices the communication of our
correspondent “Fair Play” which appeared in our last
issue:
“I regret to notice a communication in the last Ma
con J le**enger reflecting iijxtn Savannah in connexion
with this subject. The temper of the article designates
the author so clearly that there is no mistaking him.
Tn iiici assumes That Savannah is actuated by !eeh
ings of hostility towards Macon, and among other things,
refers to her railroad policy for pmnf of it Now, I un
derstand the feelings of our people as well as be does,
if not better, and I undertake to say, that if there is one
place in Georgia in the welfare and success of which
Savannah takes a more lively interest than in another,
that place is unquestionably Macon. To suppose other
wise. is to suppose she is blind to her own interests,
and insensible of the great iiit; advance to her of the
friendship and trade of Macon. As to the management
of the Central Road, it Ls not neoes.-wry here to sjieak,
except to say it is a private enterprise, aud that the
company, and uot Savannah, is responsible for the man
ner it. which it is conducted. Men are at tbe head of
that Road in wbum I have every confidence, and if the
correspondent of the J \fe*tetjer has any quarrel with
them. I submit that be should not rent his -j leeu ujn
Savannah.”
We publish the above paragraph simply to remark,
hat if the people of Savannah take such a lively inter
est in the welfare and success of Maeou, as the writer
magines, they have a remarkably happy faculty in con
cealing all the evidences of ihat interest. The “ regret”
•xj ressed by the correspondent of the B publican , at
Reappearance of “Fair Play,” is singularly out of
place, when it is remembered that, that communication
•vas provoked by an article which appeared in that pa
nr at editorial, directly opposed to the interests of Ma
con, and that a late number of the Republican contained
i communication “reflecting” upnu Macon, and often
*ive to its people, in connection with the subject of the
removal of the seat of Government.
“ Fair Play” is amply able to defend himself, from the
mputatious ol the Republican, and we refer our readers
1 o his communication in another column, in rejdy to the
editorial currcspoodeut of ihat paper.
Two Senators are to be elected by tbe Legisla
.ire of Alabama, at its present Session—one to the seat
iow occupied by Jere Cleineut* whose term soon ex
ires, and one to fill tlie unexpired term of Mr. Kinp
i esigned, which is now held by Benjamin Fitzpatrick,
t iv Executive apjiointnteut. The Deimicratic Caucus,
’ .fthe Legislature on the evening of the 23d iust., norni
| isted ns candidates for these vacancies, Benjamin Fitz
>;t trick and C. C. Clay, Jr. The day of election has not
>een determined u|>on, audit is by no means certain
hat the nominees of the Democratic Party, will be
lected.
jyWe re-publish the following article from the
savannah RepeiUieatt of tbe 4th insL, to remind there
•( our renders, who are fond of aquatic sports, of the
ear approach of the day, fixed ujion for the owning of
he Savanut.h Regatta. At the Charleston Regatta, on
.Vednesday and Thursday of last week, Georgia was
• ictorioua, (as she was last fall) the boats entered by R.
! Spalding, of Mclntosh, and W. Luke, of Chatham, car
ving oft'the three highest prizes offered by the Regatta
j Hub. These boats, with several of their competitor*
it Charleston, and with many others, w ill be entered in
he Savannah Regatta, on the 6th proximo, and all who
} lesire to enjoy a few days of innocent and pleasant
■ anusenient and to witness the novel, exciting and man
v sport, of racing ou the water, should visit our sister
Jtv at that time.
It will be seen by preference to the advertisement
’ >f tbe “ Aquatic Club of Georgia,” in another column,
hat the day for the Regatta at this place, has been
hanged from the tfoth November to Tuesday tlie Uth
de. ember, in consequence of the unfavorable statejof
he tides on the former day. By this arrangement vis
tor* to the Charleston Regatta on the :4 h NV.votn
, her wilt be enabled to come on to Savannah, and at
tend ihe laces here, before returning home.
r lhe contest w ill take place on tbe Bay in front of the
;ity, starting from the mouth of tbe Cauul and coining
>ut at the Tower Rice Mill, —distance one mile. This
1 will give the spectator ample opportunity to witness
he sport from tne Bluff and counting rooms overlook
ing the river, and from the sh pping in port.
To our readers abroad, and to all lovers of true sport,
it need baldly be said that the Aquatic Club, and our
citizens generally, will be happy to see them present ou
tbe occasion. Tbe Regatta premises to be a very inter
esting and warmly contested one; for, what w ith the
contest itself and the general rivalry of friends, and
what with the trial* of models ana skill, and of the
strength of thews and sinews, the sport cannot be oth
erwise than rare and exciting. We understand that a
number of boats will be entered, and among them the
famous “ Becky Sharp,” the Georgia boat w.th which
Janies Hamilton Couj-er, Esq., carried oft the palm at
Charleston, last fail. „ _ . _
We have beeu requested to state, that Mr. C. A. L.
Lamar has kindly offered the use of his warehouse on
the river, for the safe keeping of such boats as may be
entered, and that every preparation will be made for
the accommodation of persons who desire to participate
in the races.
It is usual to consider the splendid system of
Railroads in this State, projected by private enterprise,
and completed mainly by individual means, as the
chief stimulant of that mighty material progress, which
has placed Georgia foremost among her sister States of
the South. It is common too to regard Railroads as
highly useful in increasing the population, wealth and
taxable values of a county, iu promoting industry, iu
facilitating communication, and in diffusing intelligence,
and anv argument to enforce these truths would ha re
garded as mere connnon-place—as the useless l epetition
of that which is universally received and acquiesced in.
But as general as is the agreement of opinion uiriii the
utility aud convenience of Railroads, we regret to say,
that there is among our people, almost as general a dis
position, to treat Railroad Cot porat ions with injnst .ee.—
Everv mau, as a general rule living in the woods, is
clamorous for a railway which shall run by bis
own door—and every man with a railway at his door f
if lie is not in some way interested in it, is clamorous
for legislation against the Corporation which owns
it. Tbe consequence has been that our Legisla
ture has exhibited as much alacrity, in imposing un
just restrictions and hiuderances, in the use hv Railroad
Companies of their diartcned privileges and franchises
as it bas in granting them. All corporations, enjoying
exclusive and extraordinary privileges, in derregation
of common right, should be held to a strict accountabili
ty, for the manner of their use, but it is not just to
grant them these extraordinary privileges, and then to
treat them, as grasjiing and oppressive luouojKilies, as
tbe records of our General Assembly and of our Courts,
prove that we have treated our Railway Companies.
This evil disjKisition is increasing. Mr. Mostly, of
Spalding, during the present session, has introduced a
bill into the Senate, defiuitig tbe liabilities of the sever
al Railroad Companies of this State, for inju'nies to live
stock and other property, which is more severe aid
more unjust than the laws upon the same subject from
which these Companies have heretofore suffered, and
which it is designed to supercede. We have uo space
for the provisions of this bill iu detail, and can only
refer to some of them which are most objection
able. It “ provides not only that Companies shall
be held liable, but any and all of their employees;
that the party injured shall notify the company
theieof; the notice must specify the kind of proper
ty damaged or destroyed, the time and place of occur
rence of such damage, and may be served personally
upon any white employee of the said company, three
davs at least before trial, or be left at the residence of
any white employee of said company, live days previous
to trial, but w.t/iin fifteen, day* alter the happening ol
the injury, and not after. That notice, so served, will
be sutficKbt to authorize the Court to proceed to judg
ment. That where the party iujured believes tbe dam
ages to exceed *2'), he shall so state in notice served ;
and may apply to the Justice of the Peace, in tlie dis
trict wherein the damage was done, whose duty it shall
be to draw a jury of five w ho may be notified either by
a constable or the party injured. Justice and Jury
shall be present at the Court ground at tbe time speci
fied in tbe original notice, to hear the evidence, the jury
being first sworn to do ample justice, and upon their
verdict, the Justice shall enter Judgment for damages
and cosis, If the damages fall short of twenty dollars,
ihe Justice simply shall attend, and after hearing the
evidence, enter judgment. If the plaintiff be unable to
procure other testimony than his own, in proof of mate
rial facts, be may liuuself testily after being sworn ihat
be caiiiNit establish his case save by bis own oath.—
Judgment entered in accordance with these require
ments shall t >e final. The Justice shall then issue exe
cution for easts ami damages, which may be executed
by any levying ollirer in the State, in any county w here
property of defendant may be found.”
The manifold objections to ihis law, are patent upon
its face, and suggest tlieinselves to every reader. The
proceeding under tins bill, if it becomes a law, will be
as hasty and summary, as in the old courts of pie pm -
dre. Service of notice upon any white employee of any
company is made sufficient notice to the company.—
They are dragged pou three days notice to a Justice
Court in any District through which their roads run,
and their rights are submitted to the decision of Magis
trates, who are oflen innocent of any knowledge what
ever of law, without the right of trial by jury, and with
out the right of appeal. Tlie party injured may de
mand a trial by jury, by laying his damages above
twenty dollars; tlie Companies have no such right.—
Where the danoagej is not |cfaarged to exceed twenty
dollars, no jury trial is provided for—the Justice pro
nounces judgment. This provision of the bill is certain
ly unconstitutional, for there is no chance for the inter
vention of a jury at any stage of the proceedings, as
there is no right of appeal. We trust that we shall
have the pleasure to record the defeat of thi* bill.
Legislation may be needed in relation to the Railroad
Companies of the State, hut legislation which shall re
gard them as public beneficiaries, as Railroads are uni
versally admitted to be public benefits. We can on
derstand and appreciate, a disposition to tyranise over
and oppress Railroad corporations, only when it pro
ceeds from men who are confessedly old fogies, and
habitually regret the more deliberate dais of our fath
ers when slow coaches were fast conveyances.
Removal of the Seat of Government.
The special Committee of seven, in the House of Rep
resentatives, to whom was referred that portion of the
Governor’s Message, relating to the removal of the seat
of Government from Milledgeville, and also a bill, in
troduced by Mr Cleveland, of Crawford, providing for
ks removal to Macon, have made a report, recommend
ing removal, hut designating no place, as the future lo
cation the Capitol. Messrs McConib, of Baldwin,
Harrison, of Chatham, and Walton, of Richmond, dis
sented from the report of the Committee. This is the
preseat status of this question in which so lively au in
terest is felt by the citizens of Macon. A majority of
the members of the Legislature, it is understood, are in
tavor of removal, but it may be defeated now, as it was
a few years ago, by the failure to unite its friends in fa
vor of any one, among the many places, claiming the
location of the Capitol. The location of the seat of Gov
ernment, as we have heretofore urged, is a question of
public convenience, and public interest, to be decided
without reference to the wishes or the interests of
any corporation, but with reference sole y to the inter
e*t, the convenience and Ihe dignity of the Stale. Mil
ledgeville has no claims to it—Atlanta has no claims to
it, and Macon has none, hut Georgia, which is m great,
*o powerful and so prosperous a Commonwealth, has a
da m to a Capitol, (at .some {mintaccessible Ao her popu
lation, and able to accommodate her Legislators) suita
ble to her wants, and what is almost as important,
suitable to her dignity.
The removal of the seat of Government, we notice,
has been made the special order in the House of Repre
sentatives, for to-morrow, and it is supposed that some
definite action will then be taken upon this subject by
that branch of the General Assembly.
ST We regret to announce tlie death of William W.
Arnold, Esq., a Member of the House of Representa
tives, from the county ol Pike. He died at his resi
dence in Zebulou, on Sunday the 27th inst. Mr. Arnold
was a member of the Bar, a gentleman of char acter and
intelligence, and of exemplary piety. This is the se
cond death, among the members of tbe General Assem
ble, since the election, and the amount of sickness
umong them, since the beginning of the Session, has
been greater than ever heretofore.
The interest which was excited a few months
since in the Rev. Eleazer Williams, and the question o’
his identity with Louis XVII of France, is about to be
revived V>v the publication of a book entitled 11 The
Lost Prince,” by the Rev. Mr. llnuson. It will be is
sued bv Putnam k Cos., and will contain, it is ns id, many
new facts and evidences of the claim of the American
Missionary to the throne of the Bourbons
2_yS“ The last Chattanooga Gazette says, that seven
thousand five hundred mules have passed through one
toll gate in Kentucky, on the road to Cumberland Gap,
this season, destined for Georgia and South Carolina. —
The mule crop is estimated this year at 23 percent hug
er than usual. Prices, however, are very high notwith
standing.

of Coivan. from Tu igirs county, was run orer )>v one of
Ihe cars of the South Western Railroad, at For. Valley.
He was on the hack platform of the passenger car as it
was hacking. He foil, raised himself up, ami ivas in the
act of crossing the east rail, when tun over by two of
the wheels. His body was dreadfully mashed and
mangled—both the ancle and thigh on one ado was
broken. He died in a few minutes. —(tqUlhortje Demo

It is believed that Messrs. G. Smith A Cos., have been
using the immense a mount of funds w’hich their circu

their Rank could net be sustained.”
The Savannah Republican.
Messrs. Editors ;—A late number of the Savannah
Republican has been placed in my hands, in which the
“ Editorial Correspondent ” of that paper, at Milledge
ville, has thought proper to deny one only of tlie in
ferences from my communication of the last week, and
to assail the moth ex by which I was influenced.
The Editor is of the opinion that “ the temper of my
article indicates the author so clearly, that there is no
mistaking him.” This may or may not be true. It
is probably, how ever, a mistake, as the Editor has uo
personal knowledge <>f the writer, his “ temper or
disposition. But whether true or untrue, it is a matter
of small concern to the author, aud can never turn one
hair of his head cither black or white.
1 have no disposition to pursue this subject farther,
seeing that the facts which I alledged have not been
controverted. Thev are upon record, and can be found
by those interested in ‘.he general history of the times.
Another reason why J do not wish to pursue it, is to
be found iu the altered tone of the Republican, and
others, with respect to the main question. lam told
by those who are in tlie habit of reading the Republi
can, that since the appearance of bis first article on the
removal of the seat of Government, which was brought
to iny notice in a paper known to he hostile to Macon,
the Editor himself has given some hopeful signs of
repentance. Judging from the article now before me,
1 confess that he appears to he growing rather more
friendly to Macon than the former article lead me to
suppose.
1 cannot leave the subject, however, without denying
in tuto the charge oi the Republican against me, that I
have beeu influenced by private resentments against
the Central Railroad, and hatred ol Savannah. Those
who know me would be amused at the statement. Ihe
truth is, I know but little of either the road or thy city.
They have never wronged me, or treated me with in
civility ; and it is rather au awkward blunder to sup
pose that I am influenced by personal considerations.
On the contrary, I do uot know whether the removal ot
the seat of Government, or the building ot the \\ ar
renton Road, or the unjust exactions of the Central
Railroad (so much complained of by our citizens) can
ever in any way affect my interest.
1 have no hostility against Savannah, because I do
uot believe she approves of the unnatural opposition
i which a portion of her city press, and public men, have
I so often manifested towards Macon I believe they
have placed her in a false position towards us, and one
’ which, if ‘he question were submitted directly for her
decision, she would unhesitatingly condemn.
It was to open her eyes to the view of this subject
taken by others, that 1 was first induced to write, and
in order that the corrective might be applied in time.
I now conclude with this remark —the support of
Fa.anuah is due to Macon, and wc yet indulge the
hope that she will come to our aid.
FAIR PLAY.
A Model Hotel.—“ May I not takemineease in mine
inn,” is an apostrophe often made by the weary sojourn
er in some country tavei n, aud to which he usoften gets
a mocking and aggravating response, in the thousand
discomforts that surround him. A clean, comfortable
tavern, an obliging, gentlemanly landlord, good well
cooked food, and neat tidy beds, are the great desiderata
in Southern traveling, and which we regret to say, are
not always to be found for one’s money. We know,
however, of a signal exception, and we are conferring a
tavor upon the traveling community by giving it pub
licity. One of the most comfortable and agreeable
routes traveling to and from the North, is through Geor
gia, either by the way of Savannah or Charleston. Up
on ihi> line there is at present but about seven miles of
staging, and in a few weeks this will he superceded bv
railway. The city of Macon lies on the route, and here
the traveler will either lodge or take a meal, and if he
he not iu too great a hurry, the natural attractions of
the country, the kindness and hospitality of the people,
and the comforts and luxury of a first rate hotel, will
induce him to prolong his stay. This hotel is designa
ted the “Lanier House;” it is a crack hotel, and has an
extensive reputation and deservedly so—for no where
will ttie traveler find himself better treated, and feel
more comfortably at home. The proprietor is Mr. Geo.
M. Logan, a gentleman in every sense of the word, of
travel and observation, and of large and liberal views.—
The inferior economy of the establishment is under the
supervision of Mr. O'Meara, a pupil of a gentleman
whose sudden death in this city, some few years ago,
was tlie cause of general regret —Milford the model land
lord, the prince of caterers and a most worthy man.
It any one should be hesitating which route to take
going to, or coming from the North, let him go by the
way of Macon, to enjoy the good fare and other com
fort’ of the Lanier House.— N. 0. Bulletin.

Synopsis op the Baltimore Sun’s Washington
Letter. —The President’s Message is cut and dried/
it will he a hard paper —strong on the compromise,
strong on the Sandwich J'lamls, strong on Mexico,
stronger on Cuba, and clearly in favor of extending the
irea ot freedom in the aggregate. The Administration
ms no objection to rebuilding the State, War and Navy
Departments, and finishing the Treasury. If France
will keep quiet about the Sandwich Islands, Mr. Guth
rie will recommend cheap claret and cognac. It was
the “ understanding all round.” and beforehand, though
* Mr. Cobb knew it not, that he was to be defeated for
tiie Senate, and it has also been understood that Col.
.Jeff’ Davis would be elected U. S. Senator in Mississip
pi. Cc:i. Cass will not take the leadership of the Sen
ate. Senators and Members are flocking in. The Sen
‘tine! has some prospect of getting a share of the public
printing, none of which it has now.
* Risen from the dead. —The N. O. True Delta has
lie following figures showing the vote cast at tlie four
; last elections, from which it appears that notwithstand
ing the notorious fact that over 10,000 people died of
the epidemic, and that from 2000 to 3000 of the resident
citizens are still absent, yet the vote cast on Monday
lust exceeds, by nearly 3000 ballots, that on former oc

-MARRIED,
On the evening of the 28th iust., at the residence of
John 11. Brantley, Esq , by tbe Rev. S. Landrum, Mr
Charles Taylor, of Sacramento city, Cal., to Miss
Lilly 0. Brantley, of Vineville.
DIED.
At Dalton, on tbe 13th inst., after a lingering case o
typhoid fever, Col. John Hamilton, aged alioiit 50
years. He was a highly esteemed and valuable citizen,
and his death is a serious loss to the community in
which he lived.
In this County, on the 22d inst., Mr. Thomas King,
sen., aged G 5 years.
At Midway, near M illedgeville, on Monday morning,
Nov. 7th, 1553, Mr. Wm. T. Bryan, aged 19 years, 6
months and 2 days—fourth son of David and Catharine
Brvan, Belivue, Ga.
The deceased was a student of Oglethorpe College;
and had bo lived, would have graduated at the next
Commencement, with honor to himself and to his friends.
But in the midst of youth and youthful hopes—and while
prosecuting a vigorous course of preparation for future
usefulness and honor; it has pleased the Alwise Ruler,
in whose hands is the breath of every livingthing, to re
move him, as we hope and believe, to brighter scenes
and purer joys above. But in the language of Holy
Writ, “The memory of the just isblessea”—and his be
reaved and mourning relatives can only enjoy the mel
ancholy pleasure of recording in their brief notice, their
testimony to bis virtues—and of cherishing with fond
atl'ection the remembrance of the departed one. Natur
ally amiable —with a heart enlightened, softened and
purified by the Spirit ol God —and imbued with a Sa
viour’s love —of a cbeetful disposition —industrious hab
its—intellectual vigor, and cultivated mind, he was “his
parents” hope, “his parents” joy—as a son dutiful and
affectionate—as a brother loving and beloved—as a
friend sincere and steadfast. His frank and generous
disposition, his manly beat ing and his Christian consis
tency won for him the esteem and confidence of ull who
knew him. Indeed it might be truly said of him.
“None knew him but to love; noue named him but to
praise.”
During tbe revival in Oglethorpe College, last year,
William became a hopeful subject of Divine grace.—
He immediately professed bis love tor the Lord Jesus
Christ, and after a few months became a member ot the
Presbyterian church— continuing steadfast iu the pro
session of the Gospel—and adorning the doctrine of God,
his Saviour, by a well ordered lite and a godly conversa
tion.
On Thursday the 3d of Nov. the summons came—he
laid down on his couch of death—and after an illness of
four days, he sweetly fell asleep in Jesus. Hisprecious
dust rests in the grave till the resurrection, liis spirit
is with the blest. “We sorrow not as those who have
no hope, for as we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so them also that sleep in Jesus will God bring
with him ” “The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken
awav, blessed be tbe name of the Lord.”
A FRIEND.
OBITUARY.
“To live is Christ, to die is gain”— Phil. 1: 21.
This was signally illustrated in the life and death of
Mrs M. M. Mason, whose recent decease is sincerely
mourned by an extensive circle of friends in this city.
Some six years since she embraced religion, attached
herself to the Methodist Church, and continued an ac
tive, faithful member until she was called to bet reward
iii llcaveu. Asa Christian she exhibited in all their
heavenly excellence the higher and h. lie; graces of an
experimental piety. She regarded religion not as a
mere profession, a system of external duties, but as a
work of the heart, a matter of experience and delightful
enjoyment. Her seat at church, and at her social m e
ings, was seldom vacant. Her c ass at Sabbath School
never missed the presence of their teacher, unless she
was providentially detained A member of the “Fe
male Tract Society,” she was ever ready t > do all in her i
power to extend religious knowledge among the unen
lightened of the community. She was also a member I
ot the “ Female Charitable Association” —an Associa
tion that, has tor its object the relief of the destitute and j
the suffering—an object that attracts but little notice in
this selfish world, but will not be unrewarded in
another. The brevity of an Obituary notice forbids
us to say more of the piety and benevolence of hir life.
Her death, was of that character that might have been
expected from her lite, it was a triumph of giace.—
Even when the chills of deatli were upon her, her mind
was collected and perfectly resigned. She conversed
with her friends, who were present, and exhorted then s
individually, to live for God, prepare to die, and meet
her in Heaven. She gave numerous messages to
be borne to her distant relatives —to bet’ fellow-mem
bers iu the church, and to her associates iu ehristian
benevolence.
! Amid those exhortations to others, she exuitingly ap
i plied to her own experience ibose passages of Scripture
[that promise, to the In >•. . • ictory over death. She
repeated, with peculiar i uq basis, the triumphant words
of St Paul —“O, death! wit, re is tby sting? O, grave!
I where is thy victory ? thanks be to God, vvhith givet’n
jus the victory through out Lord Jesus Christ. ‘lies
and kindred expressions dwelt on her lips till her ie
deemed spirit peacefully passed away to its rewind iu
Heaven.
i Thus lived, and thus died our departed men . and
sister; exhibiting a life that should be imitated, in,u a
death that will be desired bv all.
“ How sweetly did -he lay her head
Within the coM a e s silent breast,
Where sorrow’s c.u.- no more are shed,
No more the i... <•. life molest! ’
