to Harper's Magazine, Harper's Weekly, and
that other foul-paged sheet, Frank Leslie’s
Magazine. Harper’s productions are filled
with the basest slanders and abuse of the

whilst Frank Leslie is a receptacle of filth
and obscenity that no decent people should
tolerate. And yet, shame upon us! South

Congress—'The.PresIdent’s Friends Increas
ing.
A special despatch to the Louisville Cou
rier says:
Washington, Jan. 4—p. m.—It is not ex
pected that there will be anything of import
ance done in Congress until next week.—
Many of the members will not be in tlieir
places until Monday. Among those who
have returned from a Christmas visit to
their friends, there is a very marked ten
dency v.o conservatism and a more general
snppoit of Johnson’s policy of reconstruc
tion. At tlic beginning of the session of
Congress there were only two Senators
known to be willing to give a hearty sup
port to the president; there are more than
twenty who will stand by him and sustain
bis programme. The few radicals are en
deavoring to counteract the influence of the
recent popular vote against negro suffrage in
the district. Meetings have been called for
this purpose, but they have been complete
failures in every instance. The impression is
beginning to prevail, that an active advocacy
of negro suffrage is not a strong recom
mendation to Executive favor, and only
a few officials have had the manhood
to defy the Executive displeasure.—
Most prominent among these is Postmaster
Bowen, who also holds three or four other
offices at the samo time. As a consequence
it is stated the Washington post office is on
the list for an early change.
It is not probable that tho nominations for
important offices will be made until the
reconstruction of the South has been accom
plished far enough to warrant the President
in selecting a fair proportion of the appointees
from the Southern States, so that the Admin
istration will represent all parts of a reunited
country.
Let TnE Temperance Revival Begin 1—
It looks like taking a very great liberty with
high “official dignity”Ao say, as a Washing
ton correspondent did the other day, that
“Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island, is not
much of an ornament to the Temperance So
ciety.” and that “he is the most bibulous

it ought to prompt the friends of Temper
ance nt Washington and everywhere else, to
take immediate steps to reclaim, not only
this unfortunate Senator from “the land of
steady habits,” but also the millions of other
similar unfortunates who have been so sadly
‘demoralized’ by the all-pervading license of
our late civil war. In a word, let the prom
ised “Temperance Revival” begin!—Memphit

come to our office, fora day or two past, Mr.
Franc AI. Paul, well and favorably known
in this section of the Union as tlic sprightly
and indefatigable editor of the Chattanooga
Rebel, now deceased, though nothing but
Sherman's bayonets, which distroyed every
thing else, could quench its vital spark.
Mr. Paci. is now connected editorially with
the Memphis Bulletin. The energy that ac
complished so much !u the turmoil and up
heaving of war. will certainly suceed in the
“piping times of peace.”
Internal Revenue.—Wonderful is tho
suction power of this piece of financial ma
chinery. The receipts at the treasury for the
first ten days of the month averaged nearly
two millions per day, and the whole amount
received since the 1st day of July last is $183,-
164,437 04.
‘Controller Clark, of the Currency Bu
reau, has decided that ladies cannot act as di

If a lady cannot be a Bank director Ire-
case she is not a citizen, how docs it happen
that so many of them have been appointed
Post-mistresses ?
The Colored Code.—We complete this
morning the elaborate report ot the Commit
tee appointed to prepare a system of laws for
the protection and government of the blacks.
We have been compelled to divide it into three
parts in order to make room for usual varie
ty. It will appear entire jn our Weekly to be
issued Monday next, and as there is a general
desire to read it, both in this and other South
ern States, wc shall print a large surplus of
that edition to fill orders. Price $4 per year,
or 10 cents per single number. Southern Leg
islatures, generally, would doubtless, be ben-
efitted by examining the labors of the Geor
gia Committee.
How Rebel Prisoners were Treated.
—To refute beyond all question the story
frequently reiterated in tlie South during the
war, and which gained some slight credence
in the North, in reference to the government
making inadequate provision for the subsist
ence of its prisoners, the Bureau of Military
Prisons gives the following item in its late
report to the War Department: That during
the four years in which depots for the recep
tion of Southern prisoners were kept up in
the Northern cities, th« rc accumulated a fund
of upwards of three i. iilions of dollars from
a sale of the excess of rations issued to and
not consumed by the prisoners, and more
than half of this sum was used white the war
was progressing in the purchase of wines and
jellies for the benefit of the occupants of
prison hospitals.—Cor. X. 7. Herald.
The “Bureau of Military Prisons” may
make what statements it pleases, it cannot
alter the truth. If three millions of dollars
were saved, as alleged from the sale of tlic
excess of provirions sent to Confederate pris
oners, it is only so mnch more to the shame
of the Government, or its agents There arc
thousands of returned prisoners in the South,
men of the highest integrity, who will testi
fy to the utter falsity of the above statement.
There are thousands who will testify that
they were forced, in order jo subsist at all, to
resort to rat* and oven dogt, as articles of
food. Northern scribblers may go on with
their story, but in doe time the whole world
will know the truth, * and, from* sources that
will cause it to be believed.

Regarding the Ocriuugeo riv-
whicli flows through the city, we are not
accurately informed, but from what we. have
rfeen of it at several points in tiie neighbor
hood, we are inclined to the opinion Gat, by
a reasonable expenditure of labor, it- unlail-
watera could be made a valuable agent in
industrial pursuits. If a scientific survey has
ever been made with this view, wc shall be
obliged to any citizen if he will.favor us with
the result.
TheBDpoints are all important to the end
in view, but the great consideration that we
would urge in behalf of this immediate sec
tion, is the cheapness of labor. Heretofore,
the groat trouble the South has had ro con-
id with in all her efforts nt manufactures,
i been the high prices of labor. Now we
have an" abundance, and of the cheap.- =t sort.
Our negro population is immense,' aud aver-
ion to field labor will throw any requisite
nhmberof them into factories and work-shoj»
whenever they shall have been established.—
Whilst we grant that the majority of the race
are unfitted for such work from luck of nat
ural intelligence, more than enough can be
found who, by proper instruction and con
stant superintendence, would be equal to any
demand that may be made upon them.

I liave seen some of the very best planters
from I souri, Tennessee t.nd"thc South, and
I have conversed with learned men from
France and other parts ol Europe, all of whom
happen to have traveled through the northern
and most healthy parts of Mexico. The Eu

France and Italy, and also of surpassing min

hand, pronounce it a grazing and cattle coun

Kentucky and Tennessee are not to be com

The mountains abound with game and for
ests with the finest of timber—with the most
exquisite dye and ornamental woods—gums
and syices, drugs and,medicinal plants of rear
virtue.
Many false statements have taken root,
abroad about Mexico and the Mexicans—
Those operate greatly to < ur disadvantage, in
asmuch as they are stumblingbioeks in tho
mind of'strangers and tend to discourage
immigration.
The World knows Mexico as a country that
for the last half a century has been tossed by
revolution; Many listening to the stories of
her troubles and the tales ofher calamities as
told by her enemies, have come to regard the
whole land as a “God forsaken country.”
While, in fact, no part of the world can boast
of a more refined society or a more elegant
hospitality than thnt which is to be found

A Chapter of Accidents.—We copy as
follows from the Atlanta Intelligencer of yes’
terdaj’:
A distressing accident occured near the
old car factory on Sunday afternoon, by
which a little boy, whose name we did not
learn, sustained a severe injury. Ho had
picked up an old percussion shell, which had
doubtless lain for months on tiie ground, and
was carrying it along the track when it acci
dentally fell from his hand on the iron rail
and exploded, dreadfully fracturing and near
ly carrying away one of his legs.
The wall of a building now I wing construct
ed on Peach-Tree street, tumbled in yesterday
afternoon, and buried in the ruins six negroes,
two of whom were instantly killed, while the
other four were seriously if not fatally in
jured. We learn they were discharged col
ored soldiers.
Cnn.D Burnt to Death—On Saturday morn
ing a little child, two years old, was left by
its mother in a tent. During the absence of
the mother, the tent took fire, and as there
was no one present except two very small
children, before assistance could be obtained,
the child was so seriously idjured that it died
on Saturday night.
We learn that another child, by the name
of Coleman, was killed by the bursting of a
shell which lie was handling. Parents should
caution their children, and be cautious them
selves, in handling or removing shells which
may be near or on their premises. It is dan
gerous to handle them.
Dangers of Women in Old Times.—An
act was introduced in the English Parlia
ment, in 1670, “that all women, of whatever
age, rank, profession or degree, whether
maitls or widows, that shall, from and after
such act, impose upon, seduce or betray into
matrimony, any of His Majesty’s mate sub
jects, by scents paintB, cosmetic washes, arti
ficial teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron
stays, hoops, high-heeled shoes, or bolstered
hips, shall incur the penalty of the laws now
in force against witchcraft, sorcery and such
like misdemeanors, and that the marriage,
upon conviction, stand null and void.”
The Counterfeit $50 Greenbacks.—Wo
were yesterday shown the most perfect of the
fifty dollar counterfeit greenback notes that
wc have yet met with. It is excellent in tlic
engraving, the paper, the printing, ami, in
deed, in its whole appearance, it is well cal
culated to deceive any but the most perfect
of the experts in such matters. The only
mark to which we can venture to direct pub
lic attention as a caution, is thnt of the ab
sence of the button mark on the lappel of the
coat on the figure of Hamilton, in the body
of the bill. In the genuine hills the buttons
are rather indistinct, but it the counterfeit
only one is to he seen.—Phi'adelphia Ledger.
There are thirty-four Lake Superior

An offer of 350,000 acres of land is made to

bles.

The Macon Telegraph having passed into now
hands, the present proprietors have thought
proper to is.-ue this Prospectus, to which they
invito the attention of the public.
The editorial columns of the Telegraph will be
under the control of J. It. Sneed, Esq., and Sami.
Hoykin : Mr. U'/.i. A. Itcid, Business Manager,
In addition,-able and truthful correspondents
will be employed in n ost of the leading cities of
the Union,and at the Federal and State capitals,
during ihe sessions of Congress and the Legisla
ture. Several ot the best political and literary
writers of the South have hern engaged.and will
furnish the readers of The Telegraph with regular
contributions. Among these we are pleased to
onnoun o the name of “P. W. A..” whose able
and interesting correspondence, in the Savannah

Political Character.
In Politics, The Telegraph will maintain a man
ly and Iona file acquiescence in all the lcgitimati
consequences of the war, with the right., howev
er—.me never denied even to criminals—to pro
test, og!viift-injustice and unnecessary hardship
Regarding the restoration of Georgia to hoi
former position ia tho Union, as of vital import
ance to all her interests, it will promptly sup
port all constitutional requirements, on the part
of the Administration at Washington, looking to
that end; and when perfect peace is restored, its
best efforts will be given fora revival of the bet
ter days of the Republic.
Holding that protection and loyalty—kind
guardianship and filial love—are reciprocal du
ties in national affairs; and that there can he no
real existence of the latter without the former,
our support and affection lor the Federal Gov
ernment shall keep even pace with its regard for
the Rights of the People.
Leading Feature.
The leading feature in The Telegraph will be its
devotion to Hie rights, interests and feelings of
Georgia and her stricken sister States: we would
lift them up from the valley o l iuniiliation, ex
hort them to a forgetfulness of tiie Past, except
its glories, and nerve their arms for the arduous
struggles of the future.
Commercial Department.
Tiie Commercial Department of The Telegraph
will receive special attention. Daily reports will
be given of all the leading marketsof tiie Union,
together with a full weekly review of the local
market; while, on tbe arrival of every steamer,
