Can it be wondered nt. therefore, that the M.wwmio IVutoi-nity all over the habitable globe have adopted it as a sentence which embraces within its meaning the primary objects of the craft. No one, outside the pale of the Fraternity, can form any definite idea of the real value of the institution to those whose glorious privilege it is to be allied to it by the ties of membership. They may, to some extent, it is true, form an opinion, grounded solely upon the character of those who may claim to he Masons, and this opinion may be well founded; but positive knowledge of the craft or its ancient mysteries can never be obtained by any save those w ho, of their own free w ill and accord, have voluntarily knocked at the door of Masonry and earn estly ought admission, w hile living under the tongue of good report, being properly avouched for and recommended to the Lodge by those who had traveled the same road before. “ Let their he li“ht!” The command wlu n issued from the Orient-, possesses force mhl validity second only to that sublime t'nhiniand licst issued by the Cl mini Architect in pi-r i>ll, as the world burst forth from elm. is in all its superhuman, effulgent beauty. Tlie roinniatid is given, right willingly is it < >i>i y i 11. One by one the brilliant gems of Masonry are revealed to the astonished gaze the neophyte, ami far above them all he so. s the embodiment of all humau wisdom, in li Iters of glittering gold as it first appear 'd it i>■ in the gates of Ephesus: “ Know Thy si'lf ! ” The idiot, the madman and the atlui-t, are alone debarred among meu, from tlii privileges of seeking initiation and ad vancement among men and Masons, coment •«l together as one vast brotherhood in the universal ear.se of cliurity benevolence, and pood will to all mankind. They, and they ul. 'lie, may beat at tlie doors of Masonry from now until the crack of doom without obtaining a response. All others, coming properly avouched for will liud written above the doors of our Lodge rooms: “ Ask! and ye ahull receive ; seek and ye shall find; knock anil it shall be opened unto you ! Nothiug prevents any honest man from seek ing admission into our fraternity and having applied nothing but physical or mental de fects ean prevent his admission. lo every brother admitted, the words “Let there lie light!” have a peculiar sig nificance. for there, upon the ground floor tin Temple, it is the privilege :is well as tlie duty of every experienced workman to ti nil their younger brethren the duties de volving upon them. They instruct the neo phyte m the correct principles of the stib ium science of architecture, and as they ex hibit to him the effects of human wisdom in the choice as well as the arrangement of the different materials of which an edifice is composed, they also prove that in the breast of every man is implanted germs of scientific industry that, fully developed, produce the unist wonderful, salutary and beneficent re sults. Here also they are taught the practi cal use of the celestial and terrestial globes, the peculiar phenomena produced by the animal revolution and diurnal rotation of tin earth around its ow n axis, the situation of the fixed stars, the erratic movements of the comets, the distances of the planets from each other, and us they stand awe struck before the handiwork of the Grand Architect, they are taught to turn reverently and submissively and bow with deep humil ity as just and upright Masons before the source of all good, from which emanates every earthly blessing which we, as Masons, are permitted to enjoy. From well taught and experienced work ban, the newly initiated candidate learns liow to esteem tlie invaluable advantages which may be drawn from a correct kuowl -1 dge us the five senses of human nature, and he is nisii taught why Free and Accepted Masons attach a peculiar value to the three most important. Few forget, while after wards mingling in the busy world around them, the peculiar instructions so forcibly illustrated at this point, or the direct man ner in which these instructions were con veyed to them. Advancing further in our ancient mys ferits, the aspirant for Masonic knowledge has brought before him the seven liberal arts and sciences, with the principles of which he must become familiar if he seeks pre <unneiiee among liis brethren and fellows, oauiinar is taught him that he may sjieak and write correctly, not only his own lan- K “'4O , but that of other nations with whose people he may be brought in contact in after y': Fdii'torio is so explained to him that j‘ enabled to speak with elegance and propriety upon any subject whatever, and portray to his auditory the various passions that actuate and govern the most important actionn of their lives. Fear, Jealousy, Anger, Hate, Love, Devotion, all for the time being seem imbued with life, before the arguments of one well versed in Rhetoric and its advantages to the orator, upon the stage, in the pulpit, or at the forum. Logic teaches us how to pursue a correct train of argument, how to lay down certain proposi tions and insist upon their legitimate results, passing on step by step from one gradation to another, till the point at issue is conclu sively and accurately decided. We learn from arithmetic, ns an art, how to deinon st*ite some of the most difficult problems known to men and Masons, and that, too, beyond the possibility of a doubt. Ge ometry informs us of the peculiar prop erties* so invaluable to the scientific mathematician, by which Nuture may be traced in every erratic movement. By its aid the architect hands his name and reputa tion down to ages yet unborn, the astrono mer demonstrates the various movements of the planets as they move by the Divine com mand through their respective orbits, and explains the return of the seasons, as well as the reasons why they vary so much from each other; and by this most im]>ortunt sci ence the weather-beaten mariner conducts his gallant ship in perfect safety to his port of destination, over the trackless ocean. Music, too, is not forgotten; as Masons, we are taught the science of sweet sounds, so as to produce exquisite harmony; as one of the few earthly enjoyments that are permitted to follow us to another and a brighter world, we cultivate the science of music here on earth, confident in the belief tliat, when called from lal>or to refreshment for the last time, our ears will be greeted with joyous choral melodies that will reverberate through the blue arch of heaven for all eternity, al though we cannot imagine their grandeur and magnificence until the mortal shall have put on immortality. By astronomy we are taught to study the magnificent handiwork of the Grand Architect of the Universe, whose wisdom, strength and beauty is here so admirably demonstrated. Palsied be the heart that does not beat more rapidly at the redaction that His mighty hand, who con structed the starry heavens, also holds the children of his creation in His open palm. No earthly blessing do we possess which He has not graciously vouchsafed to grant us. As men and Masons, therefore, we are taught to worship the great majesty of His good ness, and bow with reverence whenever we mention His sacred name. More, much more than this, is taught the young student in Masonry upon the ground lloor of the Temple. “Let there be light!” Is not the command literally obeyed within the sacred precincts of every well governed Lodge? A rich, golden stream of light, virtue and intelligence gleams from the Orient, which issues for the benefit of every crafts man. Is ho an ardent searcher after Ma sonic Truth? Let him hear with profound attention, the lectures of the aged and ex perienced craftsman around him; let him m; the glorious results which invariably attend a life spent in rectitude and virtue; and lastly let him fuel, in the inmost recesses of his heart, the duties he owes his great cre ator, his brother Masons and himself. In his eager pursuit after Masonic knowledge, he will not fail to acquire name, fame and reputation; nor will he be at a loss to under stand why, at the command of the Grand Architect, “Let there be Light!” all Nature beats responsive to the divine suggestion— “and there teas Light!” Literary, Scientific and Art News. —The Pope is about to imitate the citizens of Loudon in erecting a statue to Mr. Pea body. During Mr. Peabody’s visit to Rome he left with his Holiness £20,000 for purpo ses of charity. —Gustave Dore and Blanchard Jerrold have been making a systematic exploration of London, from Wapping to Kensington, among high and low, with a view to a work on the great capital. Monsieur Dore has made a most interesting collection of studies. —The Queen has commanded Mr. Wood ward, the Royal Librarian, to edit a series of exterior and interior views of Windsor Castle, together with descriptive text.

The Em peror ordered a review, and, in spite of the entreaties of his doctor, insisted on riding forth in the cold. Even when he was in the court-yard of his palace, Dr. Maudt renewed his supplications, begged his Majesty at least to throw a cloak over him. The Czar re mained deaf to every warning. “Hire, you are ill; it will he your death;” and at last, “Hire, it is suicide you are about to com mit.” At this expostulation Nicholas turned sh .rplv, and asked his physician by what authority he ventured to scrutinize his thoughts. He held his review, got a chill, and expired after a short illness. —A method of purifying vegetable oil, as recently introduced in Paris, consists in allowing sulphuric acid to fall into it in nu merous thin streams, and forcing air through at the same time, so that the oil is not only kept in lively motion, but also takes up numerous air bubbles, with which the foreign elements, separated by the acid, form a large mass of scum, which is removed from time to time. The introduction of air is kept up as long as the scum forms and until the oil becomes apparently light and clear. At this stage the oil is still acid. It is then heated in a copper vessel, by steam, for a half or three-quarters of an hour, to about two hundred and twelve degrees, and then cooled off to about seventy degrees Farenhcit and filtered. The oil will be more thoroughly purified in this way than by the common method. The process has been in troduced into several establishments in Paris with excellent results. Amnesty. Tin' New York Tribune, says : “If French absolutism can proffer amnesty to its enemies, English liberalism can afford to be at least as generous. Such is the man ifest logic of the situation on tlie opposite sides of the Channel; and the dispatch an nouncing the intention of Mr. Gladstone’s Cabinet to offer little or no opposition to a movement for the unconditional release of the Fenians, is, therefore, surprising only on one account. It is surprising that it should be so long in coming.” Excellent. But we beg to amend as fol lows : If “French absolutism” and “English liberalism” cun afford to “proffer amnesty” to their enemies, so much the more can American freedom afford a similar piece of generosity to its friends. Napoleon pardons those who have been and still are criminals and traitors against liis government; and it is expected the Queen will open the prison doors and restore to full citizenship men who have been convicted of treason and have left the felon’s dock glorying in their guilt, and have never ceased, during their incarce ration, to declare their undying hostility to English rule; but tlie U. S. Government, four years after the rebellion is over, and the last lisp of disaffection has died out of the South, and former rebels are rivaling Northern loy alists in their devotion to the country and the ilug, still oppresses and persecutes them. In France no “ ironclad oath ” is exacted of the pardoned, nor even a vow of fidelity for the future. But in the United States an oath is enforced, which few can take without perjury, and which is designed.to exclude a majority of the ablest and most loyal men of the South from the ballot-box, so as to fill offices with Radical carpet baggers, whose claims upon the Administration and Con gress cannot be satisfied in any other way. This is the treatment that has generally been served out to the South until the Virginia election, when, by an extraordinary piece of magnanimity, the ironclad oath was submit ted to the vote of the people to adopt or re ject as they pleased. They repudiated it by a large majority; and now it is reported that the act which the Administration sanctioned is to lie set aside by the same power, and that the men elected to the Virginia Legis lature are to be ruled out and sent into po litical exile and disgrace. If such a deed, which has been contem plated at Washington, should be done, we should blush to contrast it with the generous policy announced by Napoleon towards his enemies. But we refuse to behove that President Grant will lie guilty of such es sential treachery and hard heartedness in the face of the French example. And we call upon Congress, at its next assembling, to throw tlie narrow-minded proscriptive policy to the winds, and emulate, if it can not surpass, the French Emperor in extend ing an unconditional pardon to all offenders and their restoration by a general enabling act to the full powers of their lost citizen ship.— N, Y, Journal of Commerce, GEORGIA JOURNAL AND MESSENGER £t*te Agricultural Society.

We were conversing the other day with a highly intelligent young physician, who expressed to us his deep regret at the mistaken judgment of his family, who, for the sake of “position in society,” hud insisted upon his becoming a professional man, in spite of his earnest desire to become a well edu cated mechanic. He had enjoyed facilities accorded lu nut few, ami graduated wHU nlgn honors, yet, when he was ready to practice the profession he had acquired by years of intense application tie found but little demand for his services. While a student of medicine lie earnestly desired to stand at the head of his profession, and in his eager de sire to outstrip his classmates, had nearly ruined his eyes before lie suspected they were failing him. His health, too, had become seriously impaired, and now-, at full manhood, he found poor remuner ation indeed for the hours he had spent in study, for the whole country seemed Hooded with physi cians. The same evil exists with regard to the bar every where throughout the South. No inau who is fond of litigation cares about trusting an intricate case with a young lawyer, although lie may have grad uated with tlie highest honors from the very best law schools in the country. If they obtain anv success at all, it is hv being fortunate enough to form a law-partnership witii some old practitioner, whose eloquence has become proverbial in all our law courts, mid even then, yea r s may roll over his head before the public lias endorsed him as capable and efficient. If any man really loves his children, he will not, for the sake of “position,” saeritice the very best years of their lives in the pursuit of a bubble. The professional man is forced to keep up appear ances, as it is termed, whether lie wishes to or not, and, in doing so, it is long before lie becomes more or less embarrassed, and consequently more or less unhappy. The professions are not only crowded, they are literally packed all over the country, while good mechanics are very difficult to obtain. Yonng men sliold note this, and endeavor to steer Clear of the annoyances to which they might otherwise be subject. There never has been a time when "■ood mechanics were more needed than now. The labor of Northern workmen is brought to tlie city by almost every train of ears, and is readily dis posed of all over the country, when it might just as well have be ;n done in this city as not. Doors, sashes, furniture of every conceivable description, blacksmiths’ work, upholstery, hats, caps, boots and shoes, have all to be brought from the North instead of being made in our midst. It is a shame and a disgrace to the South that, tier own people are not encouraged, patroniz and and sustained. While we admit that this undesirable condition of tilings might to a great degree be rcmedied.by the liberal and judicious investment of our own capi tal in manufacturing enterprises—and that without an investment of this kind there can be no proper "round of encouragement to young men to devote themselves to mechanical pursuits, and the acquire ment of operative skill —it is nevertheless the ease that even at the present juncture good mechanics in every branch of industry are needed among us. Independence and wealth generally attend the labors of an honest, sober and upright mechanic, and we hope our young men may remember it. Look Out for Chicken Thieves. The premises of Mr. Charles Beasley, located near the new armory, directly on the line of incor poration, on tlie Macon aud Western Road, were visited on Friday evening last by someone who evidently knew the premises perfectly well, and made good time while he or they were about it. Every chicken on the place was carried ott save one venerable old rooster that was too old to be caught. A sack of Hour standing in the kitchen was next taken, together with nearly all the pots, kettles, pans, etc., belonging to a cooking stove on the premises. After taking all they could well carry, the thieves decamped, leaving no trace that would lead to their detection. The contents of a double barrelled shot-gun would help things mightily on occasions like these, and we think some of these prowling marauders uiav regard themselves as extremely fortunate if they do not run against something of the kind some dark night or other. As cold weather draws on our friends in the suburbs may expect predato ry visits of this kind, and if they do not give their visitors a warm reception it will be their own fault. If these thieving vermin ean only be made to know that every attempt to commit offences of this description will lie at the ri.-k of their lives, they will think twice, perhaps, before they will take the chances. Proceeding* of (he It. 11 . Grand Lodge. I. O. O. F., of llie State of Georgia. We are under griat obligations to P. G. M. John G. Deitz, the present efficient Grand Secretary of the R. W. G. Lodge of Georgia, for a copy of its printed proceedings for the present year. Neat in its typographical appearance, (like everything else emanating Ironi the establishment of J. \V. Burke jfc Co.,)correet in all its minute details representing the prosperity of the Order during the past year, and containing much important information, valu able to evciy true Odd Fellow, we cannot but hope it may be lead with eagerness by every Lodge, officer and member who desires an intimate ac quaintance with the exact state of the Order in Georgia. A Decided of Ob«tinar\. It lias always been a cardinal principle of belief with us, that the negro can manage a mule when a white man gives up the attempt in despair. He can get a great deal more work out of his long cared friend, and feels a peculiar gratification whenever a white man acknowledges the fact, i Sometimes, the m-gta and the male are at variance, and then, no matter how pressing our business may lie, we always feet disposed to stop]and see the fun, for we know, that a Urst-clas.- theatrical en tertainment, a big circus, or a canvas exhibition, of which a ••wonderful big snake geufle-#«r» ’’ is the principal feature, are all left completely in the shade by the indignant colloquial powers of a negro as he tries conclusions with his mule. We saw b < asein Poplar street, between a coun try darkey aud a slab-sided iron-grey mr.le, that it would be an act of charity to suppose had enjoyed a full feed for the six months last past. The driver was Saturday morning urgin? him to proceed as far as the market-house, and the mule was firmly resolved not to budge a single iuch if he could help it, and in our opinion he rather thought lie could. First, the old fellow would coax, then he would jump off his wagon to beat him, then by a handful of fodder he would try to make him put out, but all seemed ineffectual. Finally the negro got mad in good earnest, and brandishing his whip, lie roared ont, “You’s a nice mule, you is; setting ycr edrs back, is ycr; aint a gwfrie ho whar, 1 ’spect. l’*o gwine to ace 'bout dat, no use yer putting on airs wid me, yer know, jes cause you happen to come ter town. Ycr alters gwine to act dis yer way? S-a-y! Git up dar, I fills yer ! You won’t trabble, will you. Now see hear, ji»t quit yer foolin. I got no time to projeck wid you, you no count, long eared old villiu, dais wot you is. I ’ciar I got haff a mind to knock you in de head wid a ax, you is so low-down, triflin, sarsy and mean dar’s no doing nuffiii wid ycr. Bless dc lam, I’se a big mind to put a bundle er fodder under you and fire to it. ’Spect that would make you git git.” At this juncture the mule gave a quick, con vulsive jerk, and breaking the rotten rope by which she was held, upset the poor old negro iu the dust, and dashed violently up the street, leaving her sable friend to lollow at his leisure. The laugh which followed this cessation of hostilities was certainly j enjoyed by none present more than by ourselves. “The Way or the Transgressor is Hard.'’ Officer Hurley left the city last evening for Sparta, Hancock county, Ga., having in charge a young man only nineteen years of age, named Thomas O. Jackson, charged with having commit ted an outrage on a little girl, only ten years of age, in which crime he was aided and assisted liy two other young men, it is said, about the same age as himself. On Saturday, Colonel Cummings, the Chief of Police, received a telegram, riving a full descrip tion of the young man and the crime charged against him, which stated that he was on his way to Macon in the cars. When the ears reached the city, the young man saw the officers upon the track waiting for him, and immediately jumped otl while the cars were iu motion. The officers saw him jump and followed him up successfully. Since his arrest we are informed by the officer who captured him tliat he murdered a negro in this city at the time the last circus was here, and that he does not even attempt to deny the fact. The idea of so young a man being guilty of such terrible crimes should shock the heart of every one iu the community. True indeed is the pro verb, “The way of the transgressor is hard.” Homicide at Gordon. Mr. Goulding was shot through the head and in stantly killed at Gordon, early yesterday morning, by a mail named Nelson. The two men had a fisti cuff light the day previous, and the next day Mr. Goulding met Nelson with a double-barrelled gun and started to run, when Nelson shot him through the brain, killing him at once. So we are iu" formed by passengers who came up on the train. Injunction Granted, We learn that His Honor, Judge C. B.

The men who descended the shaft found the doors at the bottom dosed, and lost their lives while waiting below for imple ments with which to force the doors, which are supposed to have been closed by the miuers to ex clude the fl lines. The only hope of safety of the two huudred and two men in Avondale Mine, lies in the probability that they may have shut themselves np iu remote parts of the mine, away from the shaft. The death of those who de scended tlie shaft to rescue them was occasioned by foul air coming from tin- miuc. Scranton, September S. —It now seems that the efforts to save tue miners probably caused their death. The volume of air sent dow u for'emula tion carried fumes from the burning shaft into the mine.

It is our sad and painful duty to record the death of Mrs. MARTHA S. WOOTEN, who departed this life at the residence of her husband, Judge George W. Wooten, in Morgan, Calhoun county, on the morning of the 26th of August last, afler a short and painful illness of only a few days. Mrs. Wooten was the eldest daughter of Hon. George W. aud Mrs. Rachael Colley, of Calhoun county, and by her decease leaves a large circle of kindred, friends and aequintanccs to mourn thelo.-s of one who, though yet young, was to many a guide and counseller. In early life, aud while, a pupil at the Baptist Female College of Cuthbert, G a., where she graduated, she became alive to the promises of the Bible, and was Baptized into the Church of Christ Jesus, at that place, since which time up to her death, all who knew her would testify of her singular affection and devotion to the cause of piety and benevolence. Mrs. Wooten was married to her husband in December, 1860, in the nine teenth year of her age, by the Rev. Thomas T. Cliistian, Minister of the M. E. Church. Asa daughter to her parents, she was indeed a gem of the purest water, always kind and affectionate, and reeiuroeating and returning that parental care which had been by them bestowed upon her early childhood. Asa w ife she was devotedly attached to her husband, ready always and willing to speak words of cheer in bis hours of despondency and gloom, and to assist him in walking in the light of God. Her great aim seemed to make home happy and pleasant, and only the bereaved and disconso late husband, who feels as if his only earthly stay was gone, can tell liow well she succeeded. Asa mother she was kind and affectionate, and although her children were in infancy’s blissful iunocence, still slie was faithful in the performance of Chris tian duty to train them in the way they should go. The memory of her many virtues and good deeds are embalmed in the recollections of kindred, many friends and the numerous recipients of her gener osity'. She has left behind her a kind and affection ate husband, and two children, a little girl (Ainur etta), about two years of age, and an infant boy, (George Colley), whose tender years will not allow them to know anything of the purity and sweet ness of a mother’s love, but over whom Heaven’s Guardiau Angels will watch, and for whom we be lieve the sainted mother’s prayers will he heard. We deeply condole with Judge Wooten in this, his sad bereavement, but are consoled, as we trust he may he, with the assurance that hi3 temporal loss is her eternal gain. She sleeps in Jesus, blessed sleep! From none ever wakes to weep. Many Friends. Morgan, hlh , 1809. ROBERT WAYNE, youngest son of Jasper and Priscilla Bullock, of Twiggs county, Ga., died August :20th, 18119, aged three years, three months and thirteen days. This interesting child had accompanied his mother and brothers on a visit to some friends in an adjoining county, and on the day of their arrival he was smitten by disease, and died in a few hours. How sad and how sudden the work of the destroyer! These fond j>arentfi had found their hearts strangely twining about this lovely child, and his absence makes a sad vacuum in their home. But the language of Jesus coine.i as a soothing halm to their wounded hearts : “Buffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kiugdum of heaven.” “I take these little lambs, said he, And lay them in mv breast; Protection they shall find in me, In me be ever blest” * Pastor. MRS. NANCY L. BURNS, died on the first day of July last, in Twiggs comity, Oa., iu the 85th year of h*-r age. For twenty years she had been a great sufferer from a complication of diseases. She was one of the oldest citizeus of the county, and for yrarb had been a member of the Richland Bap tist Church. She had lived until she was weary of life, and w. hmnsd dettt aa a reiki G.

The rivers of lava still How, aud the smoke from the crater ascends iu awful majesty. During this volcanic upheaval it has been very sickly here. A peculiar sort of low malarious fever, which has grown out of the foul, condemned \apors of the volcano, lias prevailed to an alarming extent, and at one time it was feared it would depopulate tne island. But fortunately, a sea-captain (calling here for supplies) distributed Plantation Bitters to the suffering, and quick and thorough cures were the result. The news spread like wild-fire. Messrs.

Or again, if they desire to do so, they can, as hitherto, pursue a Mixed Course of study, aud graduate therein. The Boarding House For plainness and neatness, comfort and conveni ence, well-cooked food, und good water, ample play grounds, and beautiful promenades, is uiiaur passed in any section of the South. Being under the immediate supervision of the President, Parents and Guardians, patronizing this department may rest assured that their daughters and wards will find a Home, in every way suited to their confidence and respect. Mrs. Catharine H. Duncan, who, for eight or ten years ha* served as its Matron, will still act in that capacity. Terms of Tuition and Board Are less than those of most Institutions of a simi lur grade. Leaving out Extkvs, a Young Lady may enter any class in the regular l ollege C ourse, and in addition procure Board —everything found includin' incidentals, for $273 00 per Scholastic Year. Payments to be made Quarterly in Ad vance. Charges. Young Ladies are charged from the date of en trance. Physical Training. The celebrated I.ing System of Physical Training, for Girls and Young Ladies-particularly such as ure feeble and delicate —will be faithfully and thoroughly taught Besides giving a perfect form, it cures Incipient Spinal Disease, Incipient Con sumption, Nervous Debility, Dyspepsia, and last, but not b aC, Chills and Fever, aud all for ten dol lurß pt*.r annum. Instruction in this department alone, is worth double the charge for Board. Will doubting parents give it a trial f There is no such word as fail. Location. Uuthbert, for good health, flue society, and pure water, cannot he surpassed in America. A. L. HAMILTON. sep2-dltw4t President.
