Having been often asked my opinion of the
concrete or gravel-wall style of building,—
whether it is equal or superior to other styles,
and ita relative coat,—I take this mode of an
swering the inquiry, for tho information of all
persons, who may feel interested on the sub
ject.
I am every way pleased with the gr«W
icall, and think it superior, in all respects, to
any other. It is now nearly three years since
I built a large square-walled dwelling house
of this material, and I have found it to com
bine every quality desirable in tho walls of*

I'lie TITir 4(ue»tiou in Europe—The
WRONGS OF ITALY
1 he primary cause of this fearful coufiict
the condition of the Italian peninsula. At the
Congress of Paris in 135G the Sardinian plen
ipotentiaries. the Count de Cavour and the
Marquis de VilJamarinn, submitted a memo
rial to tbe assembled representatives of the
Great Powers, in which they set forth, with
precision and truthfulness, the evils under
which Italy was suffering from foreign despot
ism, ecclesiastical thraldom, and the tyranny
of domestic rulers. Tbe oppressive nature of
Austrian domination in the Austro-Italian
States, and of the Austrian military occupa
tion of the States of the cbnrcb, and the Du
chies of Tuscany, Parma, and Modena; the
deplorable condition of the Papal dominions
the galling tyranny of tho Papal rule; the in
capacity of the priesthood to administer the
government, and the fact that by foreign mil
itary repression alone does the successor of
St. Peter maintain himself on his temporal
throne, the excesses and atrocities of the King
of Naples; and the deep-rooted hatred of the
entire Italian population against their foreign
and domestic oppressors, were severely dwelt
on, and detailed with a truthful severity which
might well'have arrested the attention and
earnest consideration of the governments of
Europe. These distinguished Sardinian states
men exposed, at the same time, tlie immedi
ate danger which threatened their own coun
try from the irreconcilable antagonism that
existed betwen the constitutional and parlia
mentary freedom of Sardinia and the military
despotism, religious tyranny, crushing taxa
tion, and wasting conscription of Austria, and
they asked tbe Great Powers of Europe, in
tbe interests of peace, civilization, and human
progress, to insist on the adoption of some re
forms by which a certain measure of justice
and good government should be granted to
the Italian people, which would enable them
peaceably to work out their own regeneration,
and obtain that moderate amount of social and
political liberty for which they had so long
whyed in vain.
Whether it was that the European powers
considered the subject one which involved dif
ficulties too great for diplomacy to surmount,
or that they did not acknowledge the accuracy
of the Sardinian memorial or admit the jnatico
of its prayer, nothing was done, and tbo evils
of which Count de Cavour complained in I85G
exist to-day, not only untodressed or unmiti
gated, bnt embittered and intensified bv time.
The Italian despots havo increased raihor than
diminished the pressure of their government,
and the number of their soldiers and their spies
is now greater than at any former period.
As might be expected, Sardinia was, and is,
the especial object of their detestation. They
see there tho establishment of a government
based on constitutional liberty and. represen
tative institutions working with equal benefit
to the ruler and tbe ruled. They see there
that tbe spiritual despotism of the priest has
been broken down, and that the people, un
like their own discontented, disaffected sub
jects, are contented, loyal, prosperous, enlight
ened, and happy. The contrast between free
Sardinia and their own dominions is painful
to them, not only because it serves to rally the
entire Italian population round Sardinia, as
tno champion of Italian independence, but
because it affords to the world the most con
vincing refutation of the assumption that the
Italians arc unfit for freedom. The fact that
tbe Sardinians have planted the flag of liberty
on the soil which has been during long years
devoted to despotism, and that tlie oppressed
and the outraged of their kindred have rallied
round that standard as tbe sign by which they
hope to conquer independence, is sufficient
cause to make Austrian statesmen denounce
Sardinia ns the enemy of social order, and de
clare that her free institutions are destructive
of her safety and tranquility. Constitutional
bo other than tbe embodiment of political snd
religious heresies to despotic, military Aus
tria ; aud thus the freedom of the former is
incompatible with the “paternal government"
which the latter exercises directly at Milan,
and indirectly at Florence, Rome, and Naples.
The coufiict betwen tbe two systems is dead
ly, and hence the collision which we fear has
already taken place, ami from which such in
calculable disasters will result to Europe.
Whether Sardinia has acted rashly and in
discreetly, or been actuated by ambitious and
selfish motives, in precipitating the battle;
whether France, for sinister and interested
purposes, has encouraged the dissension and
a lined the flame of discord; and whether Aus
tria was or was not justified by strict law and
the dictates of self-preservation ip availing
lierself of tbe advantages of her position, and
declaring war at once, when she found that
the conflict was inevitable, arc questions which
we propose to discuss at an early day. 1\e
have confined ourselves iu this article to an
exposition of tho grounds of quarrel between
Auetria and Sardinia. To a matter which so
deeply affects tbo interests of Europe the peo
ple of the United States cannot be indifferent.

Cwil il Room, Baldwin Blces. ■ )
Saturday Evening, May 7, JS59,.£
At a regular meeting of tbe Baldwin Bines
at their Coinpany Room, Capt. Doles in the
Chair, and a lull attendance,
On motion, a Committee was appointed to
draft suitable resolutions touching the Military
Encampment just terminated at Camp Ogle
thorpe.
The CoJimittee, consisting of Lieutenants
Haas, Kenan and Briscoe, Ensign McComb,
Sergeant Carakcr, Corporal Conn, and Private
Moore reported the following resolutions which
were unanimously adopted:
The Baldwin Blues having just returned
from the Military Encampment near Macon,
realize it Dot only as a duty but a pleasure,
to give some public expression to the feelings
which animate their bosoms on a review of their
late sojourn at Camp Oglethorpe. It is not
tbe formality of idle words, but the pure out
gushings of earnest aud grateful hearts which
they place on record, in saying that never
were the sources of enjoyment more complete;
or the pleasures of such a meeting less disturb
ed by unhappy incidents. From tbe time of
their reception to their departure, kindness
and hospitality met them at every step, and
flowed in upon them from every side. Not
only their wants but their simplest desires
sepm to have been anticipated and provided
for.
Therefore, Resolved, That our obligations
to tbe Floyd Rifles, whose special guests we
were, are deep and inexpressible. To the
kind invitation of that gallant corps, are we
indebted for the privileges and pleasures of
the late encampment, whilst tbe vigilant and
cheerful attention of all its members relieved
us from every care or want. Its officers are
not only accomplished soldiers, bnt nature’s
noblemen in all respects, and the privates are
fnlly worthy of such commanders. Long may
it wave!
Resolved, That the hearty and active co
operation of the “Macon Volunteers” and
‘Bibb Cavalry” in contributing to the enjoy
ment of each one of our Company—their pro
fuse and generous hospitalities—their courte
ous deportment, and gallant bearing on all
occasions entitle them to our admiration and
gratitude. May their ranks never be less and
always filled as worthily as now.
Resolved, That in the “Montgomery True
Blues” of Alabama, we found a band of chiv
alrous and accomplished gentlemen, proficient
alike in Military science and tho civilities of
social life. The intelligence that three of its
most estimable members were accidentally in
jured on tbe last day of the encampment thrill
ed our bosoms with sorrow, but ere ibis, we
hope the period of danger, if any, has elapsed,
and that each and all may long live to adorn
the profession of arms, and rejoice in the ap
pellation of “True Blues.’’
Resolved, That to the citizens of Macon
generally, whose polite attentions and unre
mitting care contributed as much to our com
fort and enjoyment, we return the homage of
grateful hearts. Especially, we might name
tbe honorable Mayor of the City, O. G. Sparks,
Col. J. II. R. Washington, the Messrs. Par
ker, I-ittle Mac, Mr. Newcomb of the •‘Geor
gia,’’ Frank Bloom, George M. Logan, of the
“Lanier House,” John Cumming the worthy
Marshall of the City, and Mr. Gatewood, who,
with many others gave us substantial proofs
of their regard and generosity.
Resolved, *That to the fair daughters and
noble matrons of Macon, we are much indebt
ed, the former illuminating our pathway with
their smiles, and the latter sustaining us with
their creature comforts. To Mrs. Charles
Collins, Mrs. Woodruff, and Mrs. M. E. S.
we tender our sincere acknowledgements for
bouquet’s most tastefully arranged from tbo
rarest and most beautiful flowers.
Resolved, That our thanks are tendered, in
an especial manner, tc Mrs. Qeorgc W. Ross,
—the wreath and star—; the former decked
with choicest flowers, and surrounding. the
latter, on which is most tastefnHy inscribed
tbo name of our Company, and all surmoun
ted with a beautiful bouquet. Prepared and
transmitted by fairy hands, it shall be cher
ished with soldier, pride, the fit and insepara
ble companion of the colors which we bear. *
Resolved, That our thanks are due aud
hereby tendered to tiie Officers of tbe Central
Rail Road, for tbe reduction in fair, as well
as tbe facilities afforded us, in going to and
coming from the place of encampment.
Resolved, That wc are under many oblig*
tions to tbe Press of Macon, fc* providing us
with copies of th<>^ respective papers, during
our *<journ in their midst
Resolved, That the proccedingsof this meet-
ipg ho published in the federal Union and

papers in Macon be requested to copy.

that no other bird can sing—pouring forth
notes that no other voice, no musical instru
ment can sound- There is an indescribable
something in the blue bird’s voice, when he
first tells us that spring is here, which goeth
into our heart deeper than the music of the
“king of instruments,” and touches chords
that can be made to vibrate but once a year. i —

It will he seen by the proceedings of a meet
ing of citizens held at this place, which we
publish this week, that an earnest movement
has been made with reference to the connection
of Brunswick and Albany by Railroad. We
learn that arrangements have been made by
the Brunswick fit Florida Company, to extend
their Road to the line of the Main Trunk in
\yarc -cunty, slzty-eigbt miles from Brun
swick. The distance from this point to Al
bany is one hundred miles, and is nearly in a
straight line between Albany and Brunswick.
In common with our citizens, wc shall look
with deep interest for tlie report of the Dele
gates to Brunswick. When their report is
made we shall discuss tipi subjec t at length,
anil ftwr fh'C jmport uncc of the proposed Road.

Watpli an well q« Pray,
The Boston Bedgcr telL of one of the most
zealous members of a zealous church, at tbe
South End, who has a daughter of about sixteen
years, of large stature, handsome figure, and
romantic temperament. For some time, while
the father has been engaged almost nightly in
his devotions at the church, the daughter has
sought the companionship of young men, and
held conversation with thorn upon street cor
ners, and in secluded doorways. The father
was too much engaged in plans for the conver
sion of the heathen to look after his own house
hold. and never dreamed that aught of wrong
would thus come, till a few days since, when
tbe daughter suddenly disappeared from heme.
An inquiry Was tqad 0 ! which convincdu him
that- the girl had been induced to enter upon a
life of shame. About.a week after he teamed
that she was seon going Into the house of a
neighbor, a woman of not unblemished reputa
tion, and ho wont there and took her home.—
She refused to tell where she bad been, and
was auytliing but repentant, and the fattier
locked her up in the attic, and there she was
kept lor several days. Two or three nights
since, however, she mauaged to escape, ami

' Ansiokr' Flotd Riei.es, (
Macon, May 10th, 185.9. j
At a called meeting of the “Floyd Rifles
Capt. Hardeman iu the Chair, and a full atten
dance,
A committee to draft resolutions appropri
ate to their feelings relative to the recent En
campment at Camp Oglethorpe, was appointed,
consisting of
Lieut. G. IV. Ross,
Sergt. Vf. M. Rilev,
Private. C. D. Find la r,
“ J. H. Zeilin,
** C. Anderson.
The committee reported the following reso
lutions, which were unanimously adopted:
Iu restoring the implements of the camp to
the quiet halls of our Armory, we, the Floyd
Rifles of Macon, cannot permit .the occasion to
pass without giving expression to the pleasing
impressions made upon us by tbe rocent visit
of the Baldwin Blues from Milledgeville, and
the “True Blues” from Montgomery. To say
that our encampment with them has afforded
us the highest gratification, would but feebly
indicate tho feelings with which ive regard and
shall ever remember the incidents and events
of the past week. We are proud that “Camp
Oglethorpe” has, in part, at our bidding, been
the recipient of such guests, and grateful that
in our efforts to entertain them, we have not
alone been cheered by the “sunny smiles,” but
aided by Ibe elegant hospitality, of. the fair
daughters of our beloved city.
Be it therefore
Resolved, 1st. That in our recent encamp
ment (in connection with the Macon Volun
teers,) with the Baldwin Blues and the Mont
gomery True Blues, we have enjoyed a season
of privilege—we have had tho benefit of asso
ciation with those who are not only skilled,
but tcell skilled in the military art, and have
had the pleasure of greeting as guests those
whose gentlemanly deportment and generous
impulses have awakened, not alone our admi
ration and high esteem, but have engendered
friendly tics which memory will love to clier
ish, and which time can never sunder.
Sid. That we gratefully acknowledge the
courtesies extended to us by our brethren iu
arms—the Bibb Cavalry and Macon Volun
teers. Their kind attentions to this corps have
added another link to the chain which binds
us as friends and fellow soldiers. The festivi
ties they prepared were scarcely surpassed by
tbo splendid entertainment furnished by the
Montgomery True Blues on the day of the
encampment, and which did honor to the
whole-souled hospitality of those noble sons of
Alabama.
3d. That our more immediate guests—the
Baldwin Blues—have, in their return to their
homes, our best wishes for their success and
happiness. May they long live to be an orna
ment and protection to the capital of our be
loved State. We shall ever remember with
emotions of pleasure that it was our privilege
to extend them tbe right band of a soldier’s
welcome.
4tb. That tbo Ladies of Macon have done no
more than we expected. Observation and ex
perience have long since taught us that they
constitute tbe most important element of at*
tractiveness of which our city can boast. Wc
cannot, however, forbear expressing our high
appreciation of the sumptuous banquet provi
ded by them during the encampment in honor
to the guests^ of the Volunteers and of this
Company. Nor would we do justice to our-
sdves, did we fail to mention in this connec
tion, the untiring attentions and courtesies of
the Committee who superintended the arrange
ments of the evening, Messrs. If. A. Wing-
field, A. A. Roff, and R. C. Grier. The “La
dies’ Pic Nic’’ will long he remembered as one
of.the most successful entortainments of the
ktnfl cvcr provii led in our city.
Council of Macon deserves our thanks, and
wtii receive tne approbation of those they re
present
_ Oth. That our acknowledgments arc espe
cially due the worthy Mayor of our city, Hen.
O. G. Sparks, for his many acts of kindness to
ourselves and our guests. IJis noble generos
ity wjll long be remembered.
_ 7th. That whilst numbers of our fellow-ci
tizens did much to render the sojourn of our
guests pleasant and agreeable, we feel it to be
but an act of justice to say that wc are much
innebtod to our friend. F. S. Bloom, for ma
ny attentions which this corps cannot fail to
appreciate.
8th. That the Montgomery, Milledgeville
and Macon papers copy the same.

Anecdote or an Ex-President.—When
Millard Fillmore was practising law in the
Buffalo Courts, he was a pretty formidable an
tagonist, even in that city of bars and benches.
Upon one occasion a witty lawyer by the name
or Talcot was his opponent, and the latter wish
ing to show to the J ury how strongly tbe rival
case was fortified, made use of a phrase which
he presumed would come home to their feelings.
“Not only,” said he, “have my client’s rights
been thus invaded, but also, in order to sustain
that inroad, you find arrayed against him tbe
best talent in the country—I may say, the right
bower of the profession!
“What does the gentleman on the opposite
side mean by the ‘right’ bower ?” said Mr. F.,
who bad never played a game of euchre in his
life.
“Why,” said Talcot, with a sly wink at the
Jury, “I thought everybody knew what that
meant—the biggest knavo in the pack 1”— : (ho

The Baldwin Blues
Returned borne on last Saturday from Ma
con, where they had been upon a visit as guests
to the Floyd Rifles, having spent several days
with them aud tbe Montgomery Truo Blues
and Macon Volunteers in encampment, ’fhe
Blues speak highly of their visit, not only of
their immediate guests but of tho noble gene
rosity and hospitality of the citizens jn gene
ral.
Tbe Blues were presented with a rich silver
set by the Floyd Rifles, to be shot for by them,
which was won by private Worsham, also a
leather medal which was won by our npighbor
of tbe Federal Union—private N>shet. \Ve
will here digress Uy sayilig that we were not
surprised at our neighbor’s bad shooting, if
some of his editorials are specimens of politi
cal raarkmanship. A portion of tbo lady cit
izens of Maoon presented tlie Blues with an
elegant wreath of flowers, surrounding a star,
with the name of the company upon it.
Tho Blues have drawn up a set of resolu
tions expressive of their regard and thanks for
the kind hospitality extended.

A Dog in the Pulpit.
Nothing in the way of a practical joko lias
amused u.-i so much for a long time as a dog
notice that was given at the Orthodox Church
in Lancaster last Sunday. It may do well as
a burlesque on advertising all things from tbe
pulpit. A notice was sent to the sexton—
doubtless vBh tho intention of having it posted
on llie ineeting-housc—which by some mistake
he was led to pass over to the minister. Tbe
officiatiug clergyman was a stranger, and when
be came to read this notice be hesitated some
what ; but, after a preface to the effect that,
being a stranger, be did not feel at liberty to
decline reading what was given him, let ou t as
follows : “All owners of dogs are hereby noti
fied “that if tbe same are not registered, by the
1st of May, “they will be killed according to
!svr.'.’ The effect on tho congregation can be
imagined. [Clinton Q>urant.
