several of the regiments, ho called one
morning on a New York Colonel. “Colo-

Tho Wonder* ol Telegraphy
To get in Georgia on the 4th of Decem
ber, the comments of the Loodon Frees
oe a President’s message delivered at
home on the 2nd, ie one of the miracles
of the age. It involved the transmission
of the long document under the wide
waste of waters—then by overland to
London—its reprinting by the press on
the morning of the Sd, together with edi
torial reviews of it, and the transmission
of the Htter by the same route back to
New York and to Georgia.
In the lights of the simple processes
by Which Rich result, are effected they
are, it it true, no matter of wonder at the
present day, but twenty year* ago they
would have been pronounced impossible
by any natural agencies. And if we • re
flect upon such achievement now, we
■hall better realise what extraordinary
changes it portends in the condition of
the world. London is now, for the pur
ports of mental inter-communication
much nearer to New York and Washing
ton, than Baltimore was when many of
us were children. And. in a few yean,
distanoe as a barrier to intellectual com
munication all over tho globe will he
practically annihilated, and human
thought and opinion circulate as freely
and as rapidly round the circle of the
earth as tne blood does in the human,
system.
It require, study to appreciate the in
fluence of this great fact in assimilat
ing human opinions - correcting error.—
dimiparing prejudices — softening ani
mosities—inspiring sympathies—and, in
fine, bringing to the use and benefit of
all mankind the intelligence, information
and civilisation of the more improved
races and com muni tic*. We begin to
ace the effect of this electric chain of
eommnnication already in the rapid dis
appearance of Oriental isolation and non-
intercourre, and the adoption of Western
ideas and improvement, by half the hu
man race who two decade, ago were
totally ignorant of and hostile to Euro
pean civilisation.
We may ray with truth in reference to
this groat modern enginery of thought,
that it directi the opinion of the world
against peculiar institution., usages and
dogmas like tho concentrated fire of a
tremendous battery of artillery, with over-
whelming effect, to that whatever local
offends the general .enm of propriety
and fitness goo* down before it. In re
spect to question, of morals and religion.,
philosophical anil scientific truth, it is
fast making but ono community of tho
world, and overleaping tho boundaries of
great km and mountain* anil desert., in
spire. common thoughts, sympathies, in
terests and affe-tions all over the globe.
Who can say ho is a stranger in any
respect to a place from which lie gets
daily information before breakfast ?
When ho read, of their trade, their legis
lation, pnblie mootings, apeeehes, acci
dents by fire and flood—their misfor
tunes, sorrows and rejoicings a groat
deal sooner than he will ordinarily bear
of tho health or sickness of a neighbor
living ten miles away ? Their distances
may bo computed by thousands of miles,
hut practically for purposes of thought,
intelligence and sympathy, they are at
the next door, and who shall limit the
practical results of this grand and swiftly
augmenting agency on tho future history
of tho world?
The Convention of Southern
Grangers at Atlanta.
The proceedings of this body, which
wo consider of far more practical value
to the South than tho President's mes
sage, were printed simultaneously ’with
that document on Wodnesday of this
week.
From a member wo learn tliat-250 del
egates were in attendanoo, and notwith
standing tho prediction mado by one of
the newspapers, that " the concern would
be run by lawyers and preachers, not
more than a half-dozen members each, of
those professions were present.
It is impossible to disguise the fact
that tho Convention was composed, to a
great extent, of the very best and purest
citixcns and producers of the country.
There were men there who would Ulus
trate tlieir States in the Halls of Congress
or tlio Executive chair. Others, again,
who hold high rank in scientific circles,
and whose opinions were entitled to groat
weight in any assemblage. Skillful plant-
era of tho old regime, who ones dwelt in
lordly style upon their baronial estates
and counted their slaves by tho hnndrod,
were to be seen, sido by side with tho
sturdy and sun-embrowned farmer.
In short, it was indeed a representative
gathering of tho estates of the realm, and
they did their work calmly, and wclL
Those who assorted that the Conven
tion would travel beyond its province and
recommend measures at variance with
law, and opposed to the established max
ims of trade aud commerce, were wofully
disappointed. There was nothing revo
lutionary proposed; not a scintilla of
violence crept into its proceedings; not a
solitary motion or resolution was pressed,
which contravened any right or privilege
of the humblest citixcn.
Wisely, and with steadfast purpose, that
peaceful assembly of patriots l>ont its en
ergies to the true interest, of the country,
and the development of its material re
sources.
Tho snicidal policy of planting cotton
to the neglect of the supply of grain and
meat, was combated, and practical meas
ures taken to abate the evil. The sacred
character of all just debts and obligations
were reiterated—the injustice of pro
tracted patents for inventions of general
utility denounced—the assistance of Con
gress earnestly invoked in the speedy
construction of that great internal artery
of commerce, the Atlantic and Great
Western Canal—the cash system recom
mended, and the appointment of State
chemists for the intelligent survey of our
mineral lands, and to protect the plant
er. from spurious fertilizers—our mem
ber. of Congress urged to advocate the
return of the iniquitous cotton tax—the
prerent onerous and unjust protective
tariff condemned, and iniatory steps
tak*n, looking to the establishment of di
rect trade in cotton and other products
with the marts of Europe.
These were some of the measure, con
sidered and adopted, and who will gain-
ray their wisdom, and the incalculable
benefits to be derived from them in prac
tice?
The Granger* though wielding an im
mense power in their own organisation,
very properly kept entirely aloof from

at Atlanta, their ability to do good will
only be measured by the population and

Insurance Company.
The earnest attention of the reading
public ia invited to' the very comprehen-
live and satisfactory exhibit of thia com
pany, as contained in its advertisement
to-day.
Tried by every test, whether of the most
rigid inquiry and investigation into all of
its business details.and trannetioax; by
the nunfber of its risks and the character
of its policies; by the probity and tact
of iti managers, or the unexampled suc
cess of its operations, it stands forth with

South. •
In addition, also, to the usual life poli
cies, the Piedmont and Arlington have
made arrangements with the Widow, and
Orphans Friendly Society, of New Jersey,
to provide for its policy holders during
seasons of sickness and disability.
The capital of this association is
$25,000, and it is established upon the
safest and most permanent basis. In
connection with the life assurance a stip
ulated sum is guaranteed for every
week’s sickness of the policy holder, with
a handsome provision likewise in the
event of the loss of sight, or any limb,
from accident or disease. Temporary
aid is also granted to the poor for
burial expenses, to be deducted after
wards from the policy.
Thus any party twenty-one year* old,
by the payment of $2 33 per month may
secure a life policy for $1,000, and receive
in addition, eight dollars per week in all
seasons of itinera. The advantage, thus
afforded to the indigent laborer, are in
deed inestimable. It is literally provid
ing for the " rainy dayfor the hour*
of aicknes. and distress, when honest in

Thia is indeed a most salutary and at
tractive feature in the new achedule of
the Piedmont and Arlington, and will
tend vastly to increase its popularity and
usefulness.
In the person of the General State
Agent also. Dr. T. Stanley Beckwith, a
brother of the Bishop of this diocese, our
people have tho best possible assurance
that they will be honorably and fairly
dealt with. Dr. B. is a native of Virginia
and a gentleman universally esteemed
and respected. In his bands, without
any spocial effort, tho business of the
Company has signally prospered; nod
wherever ho is known, all canvassing is
superfluous. Those who wish to moke
reliable and timely provision for depend
ant families, will seek him without solici
tation a. the representative of tho Pied
mont and Arlington.
His nilvcrtifcincnt therefore, is mainly
designed to reach parties at remote points,
with whom he will lie happy to correspond

Tlic Now Attorney General.
The Courier Journal introducing CoL
Benjamin H. Bristow, before his appoint
ment, m the coming Attorney General of
the United States, to succeed Williams,
appointed Chief Justice, speaks very
highly of him. Tho Journal says he is a
nativo of Kentucky and at present a resi
dent of Louisville. He lived in Hopkins
ville up to tho breaking out of tho war,
and at its conclusion commenced the
practice of law in this city. Shortly af
terword* he was appointed District At
torney of" Kentucky, and fulfilled the du
ties of that position with such signal
ability, that, some years since, tho Presi
dent called him to Washington as the
icial legal adviser of tho Government,
ie astute Ackerman was at that time
Attorney General, and there was doubt
less a reason why it was not advisable to
have him vacate that position. Howbeit,
a new and spocial office was created for
CoL Bristow, and ho became the Solicitor
General of tho Government—an office
which, we believe, has lapsed his since re
signation. The high talents and extensive
legal acquirements which had marked
Col. Bristow asone of foremost lawyers of
this State soon mado for him a very en
viable reputation at the National capital.
He was recognized as the legal authority
of the Government; Ackerman served
only as a figure-head. It wa* about a
year ago, we believe, that General Bris
tow offered his resignation, which, after
great reluctance, was accepted by the
President He resigned to accept a very
honorable and lucrative position connect
ed with the Southern Pacific railroad,
which he yet holds.
Some months since Gen. Bristow re
turned to this city from Philadelphia,
and is now, with hi* family, domiciled at
the. Galt House. Ho is building a very
handsome residence on Broadway, which
he xrill bo loth to leave, even to accept a
seat in tho Cabinet. The new dignity,
however, will not add to tho estimation
in which Gen. Bristow is held by his
friends and admirer* in this city and
State. It lias been remarked by a gen
tleman who lias been most intimately as
sociated with him, “ That to be in Gen.
Bristow’s presence is to instinctively rec
ognise that one is brought in contact
with a great man." He is doubtless the
most popular man in his party in this
section, and the appointment will give
entire satisfaction to the Republicans of
Kentucky and the South.
General Bristow is of a very striking
and handsome presence, a man of cul
ture and a thorough gentleman. He is
genial in hi* manners, a firm friend and
[those who know him best say] a pretty
good enemy. Ho will dignify and ele
vate the offioo which he is called upon to
fill, and will bring into the social life of
the national capital personal and family
relations which will adorn that society.
We are not informed whether ho will
accept the position tendered him, but the
President, mindful of his past services in
the Cabicnt. will doubtless bring to
bear upon his resolution a pressure which
he will find it hard to withstand.

up the $900,000,000; and convertible into
currency; bonds bearing 3 65-100 per
oent interest, reconTertible into currency
on demand; bonds not to be taxable;
national currency to be exchanged for
new lawful money currency at the con
venience of the government, within such
practicable periods as the Secretary of
the Treasury may designate; the frac

question triumphantly put by some of the
opponents of a Constitutional Conven
tion. Wo will answer it. The assem
blage of scalawags, carpet-baggers, jail
birds nml political adventurers which
met in Atlanta in 1868, anticipated and
provided against any such'action. They
declared that the Constitution which they
framed should not be altered or amended
except by a tiro-thirds rote of two succes
sive Legislatures. An instilment adopted
by a majority of the people at one elec
tion can only be changed by a two-thirds
vote of the representatives of the people
in two successive elections. Let the
Legislature submit the question to a vote,
and the people—the sovereigns of the
State—will decide whether or not they
wish another Convention held, and a new
Constitution framed.

One op the Victims op the Yille du
Havbe Disaster.—Mis# Lallic Bulkley,
one of the lost passenger* of the ill-fated
steamer Villo du Havre, was a grand
daughter of Mrs. John M. Adams and a
neice of Mrs. Joseph Ganahl and Mrs.
George McWhorter, of this city. She
was a lovely and accomplished young
lady, and possessed those sterling attri
butes of heart and character which never
foil to make their possessor beloved.
Miss Bulkley was just entering her
twenty-first year, and thus passed away
in all the bloom of youth and beauty.
Her relations in this city are deeply
shocked by tho terrible occurrence, the
news of which reached them with such
startling suddenness. But a few months
since she was in Augusta, the life and
centre of a circle of friends, and it seems
hard for them to realize that ehe is now
resting in the remorseless waters of the
ocean. A dispatch was received in this
city yesterday from Mrs. Bulkley, the
mother of the unfortunate young lady,
her only child, stating that the two were
together when the ship went down, but
that they became separated in the seeth
ing waters and she alone was picked np.
Two attempts were made last Monday
night, says the Augusta Constitutional
ist, to throw the up passenger train on
the Georgia Railroad, off the track, near

rail was placed across the track, and in
the other two rails were used. The air
brake saved tho train both times.

Birth of a new Church.
A New York telegram, of December 2,
to the Western Press, rays:
A meeting of clergymen and othera
was held toJaj in Association Hall, in
response to a call issued by Bishop Cum
mins, to organize a church based upon
the principles of the prayer-book of 17S5.
Among the clergymen present were Dev.
DrTcheny, of Illinois, and Eer. Dr.
Prime.
A declaration of principles was adopted,
organizing those present into " The Re
formed Episcopal Church,” and adopting
the prayer-book of 17S5. The pith of the
declaration lies in the fourth article, as
follows :
" This church condemns and rejects the
following erroneous and strange doc
trines as contrary to God’s words:
"1. That the Church of Christ exists
only in one order or form of eedesiasti-
eal’policy.

The body was then organized a-- the
Tlie King of Cuba.
Mr. Gallenega, a correspondent of the
London Times, who inspected Cuba and
the Cabans for that journal about a year
ago, rays that the power behind - the
Captain-General of Cabs, and really over
shadowing him, ia a Spanish millionaire,
one' Don Julian de Zulneti, whore charac
ter and posit ion are thus explained:
Don Julian is a most remarkable man
in every way. He is the son of a laborer
in t ie Basque provii e is. - He landed in
Cuba penniless, and now the aggregate
of his, wealth of all kind* is enormous.
He i*j the owner of four great sugar es-
tates.-each of them valued at JS300.000,
besides many smaller ones. : He has a
great mercantile establishment, in. Ha
vana, is a chief shareholder in the princi
pal joint-stock undertakings, and has
plactil money out on interest everywhere.
His influence is almost omnipotent. Mr.
Gallenga assures us that he controls.the
municipality, the Chamber of Commerce,
the bank, the Exchange, the hospitals,
while, M we said, the Captain-General
dare take no step of importance without
his approval or assent.
How that comes about is easily ex
plained. Don Julian is not only at once
the richest and the most resolute man, in
the island, but he is the chosen represen
tative of tho system that has made the
island bo rich and of the ruling caste,
who hare strength, courage, and military
force on their side. The whites are di
vided into two great classes, the Penin-
subtree or native born Spanish immi
grants, and the Creoles, or native Cubans.
The Peninsulares flourish by slavery, look
upon Cuba as a mere place to moke
money In, and without the profits of
slave-grown produce it would not be
worth their while to remain in the West
Indies. They used to act with the gov
ernment and tako their orders from the
Captain General, so long os there was no
talk of emancipation and the government
u content to share the profits of slavery.
Now that the Government lias commit
ted itself to abolition they act for them
selves and their own interests, and take
their orders from Don Julian do Zulueta.
The machinery at his disposal is very
formidable. In Havana and each of the
other cities there is a "Spanish Club,”
where the local heads of the party hold
their consultations and whence they issue
their orders. The rank ahd file are all
enrolled in volunteer battalions, where
they are fairly drilled and well armed.
These volunteers ore said to number
some 60,000 men. and there is no other
force that can make head against them.
They are prompt to act on occasion, and
as their ardor is quickened by the liveliest
self-interest it needs rather to be repress
ed than stimulated. If they have been
comparatively passive of late, except
when actually in the field against tho in
surgents, it is only because tlieir ene
mies are thoroughly cowed in tho mean
time. It was the volunteer corps of Ha
vana who compelled that horrible judicial
massacre of the creole students charged
with outraging tombs in tho cemetery;
and that and similar atrocities have es
tablished a lasting terror. But they
make no secret of their intention of wag
ing a war to tho knife should circum
stances render it desirable, nor do they
hesitate to avow their conviction that
they are strong enough to exterminate
the creoles and blacks.”

The London Tress on the Message
London, December 4.—The limes, in
a leader on the President’s message, says
the excessive privileges in regard to free
dom from search claimed for vessels
bearing the American flag would confer
immunity on an open pirate. Such pre
tensions are, indeed, short-sighted- for a
mercantile nation.
'.- 1\ e cannot, for a moment, believe Con
gress will adopt the suggestion to pro
hibit the national bonks from paying in
terest on deposits.
We do not agree with the President'*
financial remarks generally, and think he
is" wrong in attributing the recent
trouble to the peculiar character of the
currency.
The advice to return to specie pay
ments would bo more satisfactory if the
President told the country how to do it.
The article praises the message for the
moderation of its tone, in general, and
on tho Cuban question in particular.
England will unreservedly support a pol
icy which requires that Spain must
really, as well as nominally, control Cuba.
The Daily News says the President’s
language concerning tho Virginius affair
is moderate and dignified.
The Daily Telegraph sees in the de
mand for the abolition of slavery in
Cuba a menace which will greatly in
crease tho difficulties of Csstelar's situa
tion.
The Standard thinks the only result
threats against Spain will have will be
to hinder an adjustment.
Congressional.
Washinotox, December 4.—The Sen
ate Committee on Elections, before which
the case of Gen. McMillan and Pinchback
comes, consists of Morton, Carpenter,
Logan, Alcorn, Anthony, Sumner, Mitch
ell, Hamilton and Saulshury. The last
two are Democrats. Tho Radicals ex
press great confidence that Pinchback
will be seated. The others don't think
so, nnlcss after long delay and elaborate
discussion. Senator West has been
placed on the Committee on Transporta
tion.
In the House a committee of seven was
ordered on the back-pay and salary. A
dozen bills were introduced, to be referred
to the committee when named.
Tho Epizooty.
A Herald editor who has been inter
viewing ono of tho leading veterinary
surgeons of New York upon the reap
pearance of the epizooty in that city, got
the following from him:
I havo no doubt that with all things
equal wo shall see this year a repetition
of tho scenes of last among the horses,
and very likely when the first cold weath
er of the season begins each year the dis
ease many appear in its old form. Wo
have tho advantage of knowing some
thing more about it than we did at first,
and almost all veterinary surgeons here
know how bost to deal with it. But un
der the most favorable circumstances the
disease is ono which takc3 much longer
to extirpate than it does to come, and
valuable time must be lost by the ap
pearance of the disease. • There is no
doubt that what is known os the epizooty
is simply a very severe form of cold which
attacks the bronchial tubes and causes
them to inflamo to such a degree that
respiration often becomes impossible.
This is accompanied by a species of run
ning catarrh which weakens the animal,
and by withdrawing tho best juices of the
body causes the body to bocomo weak
and emaciated in a very short spoco of
time. By the application of remedies the
disease, if taken in time, may be made to
yield and the horse may be put in a con
dition to work once more.
But I have much doubt if the disease
ever completely extirpated from the
system of tho horse and upons light prov
ocation, such as standing in the cold
while perspiring, or not being housed
sufficiently warm, tho malady may ap
pear with all its first vigor, and the ani
mal will begin to droop and fall away as
before, subject to tho same remedies if
" has not taken too fast a hold already.
have been led to Say this by tho fact
that I have noticed that all thaso horses
which suffered most severely last season
havo had more or less running from the
nostrils ever since, and would no doubt
bo ready to yield to tho distemper directly
it set in again with any virulence. The
cough has also remained more or less, and
every now and ’then you may hear it in
the streets. It is the old disease which
remains in every case.
Of course, the warm months of the
summer were antagonistic to the disease,
and there is never any danger of its be
coming widespread during that season.
But winter retting in the danger comes
back, and must be obviated os best we
can do it. I believe that the spread of
the disease will depend very much upon
the weather of tho next few days. If the
weather remains hard, clear and dry os it
at present, I havo no doubt that wc
shall escape without any severe attack of
the malady. But in case there should be
any sudden change the disease will break
out very badly, and we shall very likely
have the worst scenes of last year re
peated, and, very likely, with a3 much
violence. But better it should come
now than later in the season, when the
snow impedes travel and makes the work
of the horses two-fold. It is not likely,
however, that we shall have many deaths
from the disease, for, as I said before, it
will not take us by surprise as it did last
year, and we shall better know how to
treat it.
The Puns Ststem of Advebtisino.
The New York correspondent of the Min
neapolis Tribune says that Lorillard’s
method of advertising their chewing to
bacco by patting money in the packages
has not proved effective; that ths firm
expended sixty-five thousand dollars in
all, and one of the proprietors acknowl
edged to the correspondent that the same
amount expended in legitimate newspa'-
per advertising would have paid far bet-
The Ticar of St. James Church, Net
ting Hill, lately preached a sermon on
Death.” The effect was so great that
several ladies, overcome with terror, were
carried out of the church, and the excite
ment grew so intense at last that the ser
vice had to be stopped before the sermon
finished.
The Dotal Siables.—Jenkins reports
that the President’s stables at his Mis
souri farm are still in a flourishing con
dition. There are only twenty-two horses
there at present, though others are on
their way thither for the winter. Wil
liam Elrod, who An been the President’s
chief hostler for the past seven years,
will leave in the course of a mouth. He
baa been receiving seven hundred and
fifty dollars per annum and found. He
wanted twelve hundred dollars, but this
advance of salary was vetoed by Gen.
Grant, and Nathaniel Carlin will succeed
him in charge of the farm and horses at
sixty-five dollars per month and find
himself.
Twelve English bishops have replied
to the memorial recently adopted at Ply
mouth, praying the bishops to repress
confession and other Romanizing practi
ce*. The Archbishop of Canterbury as
sures the memorialists that the- matter

the Bishop of Bath aai Well* trusts that
the Episcopal bench will be able, if pro

tho government to deliver the Virginius
The feeling of the people in Havana if
unanimous in opposition to the deliver;
of tbo Virginius to tho Americans. The;
are willing that the vessel shall be turnec

The Manhattan.
Philadelphia, December 4.—A tele
gram says the only work being done on th<
monitor Manhattan is tho removal of:
portion of her hurricane deck, to fit hei
for immediate action. As soon as this ii
done she will be ready for sea. Thi
decks and hull of tho vessel are ioun<
and not leaking, and she is expected t<
sail for Key West to-morrow in goo-
trim with everything secure and safe.
Ocean Routes.
New York, December 4.—The Cham
her of Commerce to-day passed a resole
tion requesting Congress to provide a lav
that certain routes on the ocean shall b<
adhered to by outward and inward bound
vosseb.
Coal for the Navy.
Elizabeth, N. J., December 4.—Eigh’
hundred tons of coal was shipped to-da;
to supply the squadron at Key West.
Symptoms of Catarrli.
Obstruction of nasal passages, dis
charge falling into throat, sometimes
profuse, watery, acrid, or thick and tena
cious, mucous, purulent, bloody, putrid
offensive, etc. In others a dryness, weak
or inflamed eyes, ringing in ears, deaf
ness, ulcerations, scabs from ulcers, voice
altered, nasal twang, offensive breath,
impaired smell and taste, etc. Few only
of above symptoms likely to be present in
any case at one time.
To cure—take Dr.. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery earnestly, to correct
the blood and system, which are always
at fault, also to act specifically, as it does,
upon the diseased glands and lining mem
brane of the nose and its communicating
chambers. The more I see of this odious
disease, the more positive is my belief
that if we would make treatment perfectly
successful in curing it, we must use.consti-
tutional treatment to act through the
blood, as well as a soothing and healing
local application. Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, when used warm and ajiplied
with Dr. Pierce’s Nasal Douche, effects
cures upon “common sense,” rational and
principles, by.its mild, Soothing
and healing properties, to which the dis
ease gradually yields, when the system
bn. been put in perfect order by the use
of Golden Medical Discovery, This is the
only perfectly safe, scientific and success
ful mode of acting upon and healing it.
So iucc-j ~sful has the above course of
treatment proven that the proprietor of
