Spanish A flairs.
It is evident from events that tho Sor-
i vnno Government comprehends the situa-
j tion of Spain and its necessities. It is
| determined to rule without a parliament,
and has declared martial law in the most
important provinces of the country. In
a word, it has consolidated all power, cx-
e. ntivo, legislative and judicial, in its own
bands, and means to put down opposition
' of every kind with the Strong arm. If it
I e:in e.irry out this programme it will re
store public order and re-establish a
I national authority. Failing to do it, all
! U confusion and chaos still worse eon
founded.
This course of action will not be liberty,
republicanism and popular rights, but it
is tho only available road out of anarchy.
No one government is now strong enough
to stand a division of its powers. The
National Cortes, in the existing crisis,
bauld lie nothing more than a liot-bed of
kttvhiioo and strife—a fire in the rear of
any government seeking to re-establish
national authority.
It seems to bo conceded that tho final
issue must be the re-estahlishment of the
Spanish monarchy, lmt that the Repnbli
Ii a foredoomed failure, in any event, is
now loo cleai- for doubt. A republic, to
SUbIi a people as the Spanish, menns sim
ply no government at all—popular li-
| ceim—which in practieo is a more into!
I e'mblc tyranny than absolutism. .AVc
think the Serrano government is show*
i ing capacity nud patriotism by shutting
up the avenues of discord and tiling the
: hands of dissent and opposition so ns to
j leave itself free to fight open and dc-
j dared insurrection. If they can hold out
I ou this schedule they will restore order
I in time. Cartagena is evidently on the
1 ove of surrendering. Tho Carlists may
maintain llieuisdvc-. in tlieir mountain
| fast no- o ' for years, but tliey will be pow-
eriois for serious mischief if the other in
surrections are uprooted.

The Sinking of the Ylrginius.
Tho Haiti mors Sun’s Washington cor
respondent says an officer of the Federal
navy who was on the Virginias, writing
to a member of Congress, on n matter
personal to himself, refers, as a matter of
interest, to the sinking of tho Ylrginius
o(T Capo Fear. He says that ho nover
hoarded a vessel with ; o great a fear that
ho would never see land again, for all
knew that the vessel was utterly unscar
wortyh, and ho entered a protest against
sending her to sea. Ho sets at rest the
idea that slio was scuttled, for lie says
on j that no attempt was made to do that-
“* i But it seemed to be understood by all on
board that tho vessel would go to the
bottom before she could reach New York.
The reports,of the weather lmreauVere
even consulted to ascertain the probabil
ity of n storm on the passage north
ward. After she had started tho boats
were all kept in readiness to facilitate
• the escape of the crew that was placed
! on the Ylrginius; and after she left port
| there wa s not a man who believed that
• she would ever see another port. .The
ii iter plainly intimates that she wes sent
; to sea in an un.-e.i worthy condition in the
hope that the waves and the elements
; would dispose of her.
The latest accounts from the wreck is
that it is still sinking in the sands, the
this week at Mobile. From the judg
ment given, it will bo noted that Judge
Woods reverses the decision of Judge
Erslcine, decides the papers show evi
dences of indebtedness, and the case must
go to a jury. It will be rememherod that
Mr. King, a banker, failed, and assigned
his property to John Peabody. Esq., and
CoL W. L. Salisbury, as assignees, for the
benefit of his creditors. They have al
ready declared a dividend of twenty per
cent., with the promise of at least thirty
per cent. more. If they had not been
disturbed by the bankrupt proceedings,
the distribution would probably long
since have been settled. H. B. Claflin
appears to be the creditor who chiefly de
sires tho bankruptcy declared.
Bio Law Suit Rumored.—Street ru
mors were plentiful last afternoon, and
for the past week, of a well-known lawyer
suing a prominent financier and manu
facturer for -libel. It is said the suit
grows out of the manufacturer and finan
cier accusing the lawyer, in a public pam
phlet, of unprofessional and dishonorable
conduct as an attorney. It is rumored
that Hon. B. H. Hilland Gen. R. Toombs
have been retained by the lawyer to pros
ecute his case. We await developments.
Tho matter has become ’so general that
we are compelled to mention it. The
case may result iu tremendous damages,
or tho dismissal of a distinguished attor
ney from tho rolls, or a compromise.
The Perry Journal says last sale-day
in Houston was more largely attended
than any one since the close of the late

should have realized at least $25,000.
The death of A. Brown, postmaster at
McDonough, Henry county, and one of

The Griffin News says tho fire tliat

A daring robbery was committed at
Cnthbcrt last Tuesday night, by a negro
who called at a grocery house tliat night

We wish him much luck.

AIlSi'KGENATIONExTRAOnniNART.—Fri
day evening last, a most miserable look
ing son of Ham, was taken up for steal
ing chickens. At the time when the ar- |
r.4t was made he was in company with a I
white woman, and upon enquiry it was i
discovered that the couple were living as |
man and wife. On Saturday at the trial
Masonic temples in the State. These are
constructed of brick, also. In addition,
this flourishing team ran boast of an ex
cellent Kon-iJr 8 in rnary, presided over
by Hev. n. Quigg and a fine corps of in
structors. The terms of this institution
are refreshingly moderate in these dear
times. A member of the senior class is
charged, for the entire year, but $40 for
tuition, whieh includes all the higher
branches, Latin, French, chemistry, rhet
oric, trigonometry, etc. Music on the
the piano is taught at $40 per annum,
with an ext ra charge of $3 20 only for use
of instrument. This would sum up $83 20
for both tuition and music for the hco
collegiate terms. Good board can also
fco had at $1- per month. No one can
surely find faiilt with these rates. A
large male academy, also, dispenses its
blessings to the community.
CHEAP LIVING.
Our Maccn house-keepers will doubt-
lets feel like pulling up stakes and emi
grating to these favored diggings, when
they learn that hen fruit here is plenti
ful at 20 cents per dozen, nice country
butter at 20 cents per pound, good beef
steak at 7 cents, partridges 0 cents, and
chickens at 15 cents. This looks like
ante helium times.
EOCKDALC PAPER MILL.
A ride of two miles behind an animal
so lazy that it wonld take a steam calli
ope and- forty raw cowhides to force into
a trot, deposited your tired representa
tive at the hospitable m.ansiou of Mr. A.
O. Brown, the efficient agent c,f the com-
pany. Tho site of tho mill is appropri
ately designated. Perched on the pre
cipitous banks of Yellow river, with
masses of granite, and towering hills
bounding the vision, it is indeed a rocky
and romantic ilale. Only two or three
years have elapsed since tho solitude of
the scene was broken by the hammer and
pick of the mechanic, bnt now a fine
structure of rock and brick gives employ
ment to many hands, and thousands of
dollars’ worth of the useful material so
essential to civilization, finds its way
even to tho distant market of New Or
leans.
For tho benefit of our young readers
more particularly, we will give a brief
description of the
PAPER MILL.
Although poplar wood, straw,and many
other cheap substances may be converted
liy mechanical and chemical process into
paper of various grades^r.igs are consid
ered tho most flexible and valuable ma
terial for that purpose. Nothing else is
used here, save manilla, from which the
ordinary wrapping paper is made—of the
former 23,000 pounds per month arc man
ufactured, and 25,600 pounds of the
hempen fabric. Tho rags arc first picked
and assorted by females, then, with cir-
cuhir knives, turned by machinery, cut
up into minute slireds and deposited in
large vats capable of holding over 3,000
pounds each. Lime and water are added,
and the’ whole mass lioiled and cooked
thirteen hours by steam, which is intro
duced through pipes nt tho luiltom of the
vote. The whole mass is then thoroughly
washed witii a peculiar machine very rap
idly in an eliptical vat 10 feet iu length.
Tho pnro water is let in by a hydrant
which connects with a reservoir outside
the building. After being rinsed and
cleansed in this manner for upwards of
three hours, the rags, now reduced to a
pulp, are conducted below into immense
woodon vessels called drains, where, af
ter drying for three days, they are lifted
above again to the dressing or heating
vats, tho bleaching chemicals, alum and
chloride of lime, added, and the whole
stirred and completely mixed by machin
ery. Theneo the pulp is conveyed below
through a valve iu the bottom of the ves
sel to a lingo circular “pulp chest” or tub,
capable of holding fifty hogsheads. Here,
by an ingenious rotary machine, known
as tho “agitator,” which is made to re
volve with great rapidity, tho entire mar-

to be numerous, and many sappy (not I

THE WAR AGAINST A CONVENTION.
And just hero we would state that
every incoming member of either House,
is systematically waylaid, button-holed, |
interviewed, exhorted, entreated, honey- ;
fuggled and, perhaps, liquored, to say !
nothing of any other greasing process, to ;
induce him to take ground in advance j
against this great measure of reform. If
he is passive or succumbs, the fact is
forthwith trumpeted through the press,
and the people declared to be almost a
unit against the movement. Bnt this
furnishes another argument for tbe're-
moral of the capital. In a small town
these efforts would be too transparent to
_ I bs undertaken.
WESTERN AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD.
From an unquestionable source we learn
that the past year gave a doleful balance
sheet to tho lessees, who were once
thought to be such fortunate men. In
the summer months they went squarely
behind hand over seventy thousand dol
lars, and to-day, so far from ever having
realized one cent of dividends, are in debt
for repairs ete., full $250,000,
The road, however, is in better order
than for ten years, and it is announced
that Governor Browu says they will con
tinue operations untilpersonal bankruptcy
stares tlmjn in the face. Other new fines
liave tapped thoir business, and the great
trouble is that the cars go North empty,
and one fare, even if all are well laden,
does not much more than pay expenses.
At present, however, matters look more
favorable, but candor compels us to say
that the eventual surrender of the lease
is daily becoming more probable, now
a contract can ho binding on one party
and not on the other, is for the lawyers
and quid mines to say. But it is under
stood that the Act itself let3 out the
lessees.
Another instance of the wisdom
of modern legislation. They wore sharp
men who drew that bill.
GREAT WESTERN AND ATLANTIC CANAL.
A delegation of Georgia citizens, named I
by the Governor, at the request of the
Congressional Committee on Transporta
tion, will assemble at Washington on the
14th instant, to consult ‘together upon
the best method of advancing, this
project.
Wo learn from good authority tliat the j
committee will report favorably upon the I
system of interior water communication j
between the North and South, hut no I
special recommendations will lie made. !
It will be for Congress to indicate which j
particular route or routes shall receive j
tho Federal endorsement. Hence tho I
importance of the convention on the 14tli. I
to expkiin the details and feasibility of I
our own great scheme, and elicit for it .
Congressional support.
Three responsible firms,each representing 1
an immenw eapifakl, axpres3 their readi- j
ness to undertake the work as soon as j
Congress consents to endorse the bonds :
of the canal. They indicate their wil’- j
lingness also to take pay for one-half of j
tlio contract for construction, in these
bonds. This looks like practical men are
beginning to realize tho vast importance
and profitableness likewiso, of the scheme
to unite tho waters of tho Mississippi and
Atlantic by means of the .abundant
streams which already flow in bow shot
of each other along the line of tho pro
posed canal.
ATLANTA ORPHAN SCHOOL.
It was the privilege of the writer, by
invitation, to go through the sovcral de
partments of this benificent foundation,
which is au honor to the city. lVhat was
his surprise to find among the most prom

eral of tho most high-born,
and excellent ladies of Goorgi;
is only thus, when beholding t
fices and patient toil of our liolilc women,
that we can realize fully the sad heritage
of woe and misery entailed by tho lato
heroic Confederate struggle. And what
grander spcctaclo than that now pre

statesman, and one" of the most eloquent
men of his day, Hon. Walter T. Colquitt;

J. Bacon, who died for his country on
Virginia soil; Mrs. Julia Butler, tho gifted
daughter of Judge Irvin, of Marietta; and

and chivalric T. C. Howard. Truly a

who were gathered there. What will

This is the only Southern company that has, and does, regularly pass the investi

It retains within the State of Georgia all moneys collected in tho State, and makes
no investments, which are doubtful, for policy sake.
It is secure, economically managed, and in the hands of well-known Southern
gentlemen.

UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE C0„
OF NEW YORK.
THE ORIGINAL STOCK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE UNITED STATES.
TiiU Company possesses the following attractive features:
1st. ltd premiums are from 120 to 125 per cent, less than those usually charged
by other companies, thus enabling those contemplating insurance to secure heijond
contiwjency about one third more insurance than the sxiue premium will secure in a
mutual company.
2d. These premiums are justified by experience, and more nearly accord with the
existing conditions of the basis of the business than thqse of any other company or
ganized in'the State of Nfew York. Their sufficiency and propriety have been abund
antly verified by the approval of the best financiers and actuaries in tho country.
3d. The Universal offers a fair, straightforward and business-like contract—so
much insurance for so much premium.
4th. Everything promised in the Company's advertising documents is guaranteed in its
policy, including an equitable surrender-value clause, in which a stated amount of
paid-up life or paid-up term insurance is given for each year of the policy.
Gtli. Losses paid in thirty days after proof of death.
(»lh. The Company has issued over 20,000 policies; is in a sound and flourishing
condition, and enjoying a rapidly increasing patronage.
7th. Ample security. The ratio of assets to liabilities is 140 per cent., or in other
words,-the Company ha3 3MO for each §100 of it3 indebtedness.
