The very general expression of approval of
the efforts of the Company and the fact that
several parties of Ladies were prevented visiting
the Hall on many evenings in consequence of
the bad weather, justifies the hope that the bu
siness will be even better than it has been.
Upon Mr. Fleming, the Manager, and leading
actor of the Dramatic corps, the seal of appro
bation has been set by the first authorities of
the Union in such matters, and we can but say
he has proved himself worthy of all the praise
lavished upon him, both as an actor and a gen-
deman. Wc witnessed his personation of Rich
ard 3rd on Saturday evening last, and wc arc
free to say it was very superior, exceeding any
thing we have ever witnessed on the Macon
boards. Many within our hearing expressed a
desire to see it again, and we have no doubt its
repetition would draw a brilliant audience.
Mr. Fleming has a keen appreciation of the
meaning of his Author upon all occasions, and
possesses all the intensity requisite for the-suc
cessful representation of the most difficult of
Shakspcre’s characters.
Mrs. Fleming is a most ladylike and accom
plished actress, whose elegant deportment on
the stage, and whose chaste and beautiful con
ception of character, carries conviction to the
audience that they are looking upon one who
possesses no ordinary quality of mind.
hundred thousand in gross income, and over
fifty per cent, of nett profits! And all the
vast amount of freight and travel represented
by this income have been carried over the road
during the year without accident or loss worth
mentioning, and with perfect regularity. We
say, then, with reason, it is a report of which
the company may well be satisfied, and in
which the President and officers of the compa
ny and the State herself ought to feel a just
pride, both in the exhibition it makes of our
productive and business resources, and the
judicious, enlightened, careful, honest and
prudent management of our great work of in
ternal improvement in Georgia.
Contrast, for one moment, in imagination,
the effect of such a rail-way report as this,
backed and sustained by the exhibits of all
the railway companies in Georgia—all show
ing close management and handsome profits—
with similar exhibits from eren tbe best of the
Northern and Western States, and realize the
result upon the credit of Georgia iu Europe. 1
And what an answer do these figures afford to
the traditional associations of dilapidation,
ruin aud waste with slave labor and slave com
munities in the minds of European and North
ern emancipationists! Yes, they have told us

Portraits of my Married Friends: or a Peep into
Hymen's Kingdom; by Unele Ben, 19 mo. 343 pages.
This volume Is prettily illustrated with en
gravings, and contains six tales of married life.
“Unde Ben” is a bachelor, and should there
fore, know all about matrimony; but whether
he looks on the light or dark side—gives fright
ful examples and sad experiences, tells of hea
ven upon earth in blossom covered bowers and
cots °r gives us the gentle intermingling of
light and sliado—the steady, tranquil current of
home life—the real “domestic felicity” monoto
nous and disappointing enough, wo dare say,
to young dreamers, this deponent cannot tell,
for he- has not read the bool'. But if Unde
Ben's lessons shall help to dip the wings of
young novd-fed fancy on this subject, he may
perhaps save a good deal of disappointment
Let him teach that matrimony in most cases is
ju«t what thc parties thereto choose to make it;
and tiiat no magic in tbe silken tie, is going to
make two disagreeable and selfish people happy
companions. That quiet contentment is tbe
rule of tbe happiest condition, and bliss neces
sarily the exception.
The Sociable ; or one thoneand and one Home

This book is a repertory of games and other
entertainments calculated for the use of fomily-
partics, thc fire-side circle, or those social gath
erings among friends and neighbors, which pass
away thc winter evenings with so much anima
tion and delight: Nothing is omitted in thc
way of cuts and diagrams to impart a perfect
comprehension of all thc games and puzzles in
troduced, and the volume, we imagine, is pretty
nearly exliaustive of thc subject It is offered
by the Publish ere at one dollar, sent to any ad

that under cover of the coarse, shrewd worldly

property, in cases where they believe it lias
been returned below its value, and providing in
cases where the party so assessed shall be dis
satisfied with thc assessment for the selection
of throe disinterested persons to determine thc
value of the property, is a wise and much needed
amendment to our Tax law.
In the Tax act we notice thc following expla
natory clause:—“And whereas doubts exist
among some Tax payers as to what property
they are to give in and pay taxes for, under the
present ad valorem system,” the seventh sec
tion provides “That it is the true intent and
meaning of the present law, that bonds, notes, or
other obligations for money, on persons in other
States, or bonds of tbe United States, or of
other States, or bonds of corporations of other
States, and shipping at sea, besides tho other -
items mentioned, except lands and negroes, out
of this State, shall be returned for taxation.
And to insure a more full return, tlie tax
oath is changed to conform to thc above provi
sion.
All Insurance companies out of tbe State,
doing business in it, are taxed one percent
upon premiums received.

The Republican says it is a sad story, and
will carry a pang of sorrow to thc heart of many
a friend throughout thc State. He was a man
of fine genius, strong mental powers, and pos

most warmly a host of friends. What a pity
that such a man, in the very meridian of life,
and in thc midst of the high hopes of his friends,
should be thus cut down! His death is a terri
ble warning, and we trust it may prove a salu

The Wntroua’ Case.
'the question of presenting Judge Watrous,
of Texas, to the Senate for impeachment, was
determined in the Hoorn last Wednesday. Mr.
Stephens opposed it in a speech which there
was great anxiety to bear, and which probably
in good part determined the matter. He con
tended that not a single point liad been proven
IIAPS.
A bill was passed by the Legislature chang
ing thc venure in criminal causes, when in the
opinion of thc presiding Judge a fair trial could
not be had in thc County where thc crime was
committed, by reason of prejudice, excitement,
or any other cause whereby an impartial trial
could not bc had. This bill, we regret to say,
foiled to become a law, because in tlie hot haste
of adjournment, it did not reccivo the signature
of the President of the Senate. Mr. Gucrry, is,
however, not to blame, as thc General Assembly
did not, and would not hold over long enough
for the Officers to arrange and prepare all tho
bills passed for signature.
It Is due to thc President of the Senate and
Speaker of the House, to say, that but for tiieir
promptness, industry and perseverance, many
other important bills would hare becn lost.—
What a commentary this Is, upon the delibera
tion, dignity and patience of our Legislature ?
