an d instructive. AVe give some of.
*etr»l topics upon which he proposes
^ne.together with a few of the items
to each topic:
GMtrn Egypt—Its soil, climate, and riv-
sericulture, its animals, its laboring
yiaS their habits, illustrating the pa-
Egypt and Goshen.—Iu temples
its science and art, the historical
j of the Egyptian and Hebrew peo-
flastrsting the early history of the Jew-
Deiert and Mount Sinai.—The Wilder-
1 i ae mountains of Midian, the valley
Twireb and Mount Sinai, the fountains,
“X jnimals, and people of the desert; the
editions of Israel's Encampment and of the
* of the Law.
Land of Canaan.—Its mountains and
I“ T . t he Jordan and Dead Sea, its hills
itruits low grounds for pastures and open
tillage, its animals, its agricultural
ami shepherd life, illustrating the
"Lives of the Old and New Testament.
Towns of Palestine.—Their celebrated
viiioj fortified walls, their houses, their
torv under the Cunaanite, Israelite, Chris
ta Mohammedan possessors, illustraUng
tv lives of the patriarchs, kings and proph-
- of Israel, and of Jesus and His Apostles.
Jerusalem.—Ita history from Abraham to
Christ, iu three mountains and surrounding
nlirri; its walls, cates, and towers; the
Jtwiih Christian traditions as to holy places,
ud the scenes of Easter week, illustrating the
pmidple of Christian Faith.
Tvo lectures only will be delivered in Ma
(on-one the night of the 2d and the other on
ihoright of the 3d of August—and, of course,
til the topics noticed above will not be treat
ed; but such only as the lecturer may deem
non interesting. That what may be said
rill be most worthy the audience of such an
enlightened community as Macon, we feel
trtO usured, from the personal character, dis
tinguished ability and commanding talents of
Dr. Samson. He is an eminent scholar and
divine: he has visited the localities he will
describe: he exhibits the very costumes of
which he speaks; and he is supplied with
maps, charts and objects of interest to illus
trate his lectures.
Dr. Stason is by no means a charlatan or
an adTenturer, and he is the farthest possible
removed from all humbuggery. As Pastor of
a Washington City Church, he has resided for
many yean in the capital of the country,
commanding the esteem and respect of all,
from the highest officer in the Government to
the lowest pauper in the street During nil
the late war, though a sympathizer with the
Southern cause, and benefiting Southerners
whenever it was in his power, yet, so high
was bis character with the predominant ad
ministration, that he was ever treated with
respect and confidence.
And now he comes to see for himself the
true state of the South and, in his own way,
to aid the destitute and needy. This he pro
poses to do by giving the proceeds of his lec
tures, over and above actual expenses, to ob
ject* of charity.
He leaves all details, and arrangements
even to money-matters, to his friends, pre
scribing only that no sectarian objects or
institutions shall be benefitted.

To the Public.
Rev. Dr. Samson, a distinguished scholar
and divine, -of - Washington City, is now on a
tour in tbe South, delivering lectures ou the
lands of Egpyt and Canaan—their history,
manners, Customs and peculiarities, both an
cient and modern. The intention of the lec
turer is to benefit any object or institution
of a non-seqtarian character, in the place
where his lectures may be delivered. On the
2d and 3d of August, Dr. Samson will lec
ture in this city, and the appropriation of
the proceeds ot these lectures having been
submitted to us, we unanimously con
cur in the. opinion that the Macon Or-
S han School, under the charge of
[rs.A. E. C„ Hughes is the most deserving
and proper object upon which to bestow the
bounty. This school is not denominational
in character, it depends entirely upon chari
ty for existence, and is intended for the ben
efit of the most needy class in all the com
munity-indigent orphans, many of them the
children of those who laid down their lives
in the South. We can think of no more
worthy or needy object iu our midst, for a
charitable disbursement, and n e unhesitating
ly appeal to our citizens of all classes, to aid
in the benevolent design of Dr. Samson, by
attending these lectures.
From what we can understand concerning
the lectures, we do not doubt that, in a high
degree, they will be interesting and instruct
ive, and we therefore urge a general attend
ance on the part of the public.

J. S. Key,
E. AV. Warren,

The question of place for delivery of the
lectures was also submitted to us, and we de
cided Concert Hall to be the most appropri
ate place; and we are pleased to announce
that Messrs. Payne & Kirtland give tho gra
tuitous use of the Hall in consideration of the
charitable design of the lectures.
The price of admission will be 50 cents, or
$1 for both lectures.

The Wars In Europe—Critical Condition
of the Austrian Empire.
The question of an armistice between the
great Powers at war In Europe is settled.—
There is to be no immediate cessation of hos
tilities. The treaty between Italy and Prus
sia provides that there shall be no abandon
ment of the contest by either until both par
ties are contented. Italy refuses to listen to
the cession of Venetia to France; and sup
porting her in her determination to conquer
that province, Prussia declines an armistice
and continues her triumphant advance to
wards Vienna.
In Italy Cialdini had crossed both the Po
and Adigetto, and occupied Rovigo on the
11th instant without opposition. The Aus
trians were reported on the Adigo, with the
intention of defending that line, and a battle
was anticipated. In consequence of the refu
sal of Italy to consent to the cession of Vene
tia to France, and the advance of Cialdini
against the rear of the Quadrelateral, Napo
leon had revoked the orders of Venice in the
name of France, and no steps had been taken
to claim the province.
Still more important movements have been
making before Vienna. All Bohemia is now
in possession of the Prussians, and their ar
mies are now in Moravia, rapidly advancing
upon Vienna. Koniggratz surrendered alter a
brief bombardment, and Prague was occupi
ed without resistance, on tbe 8th inst. The
army of the Austrians, after their defeat on
the Elbe, fell back in great confusion upon
Olmutz, Brunn and Iglau, and to these ppints
tbe Prussians were advancing in heavy force.
On tbe afternoon of tbe lltli inst. the three
armies ot the Prussians were in front of the
points named; but the purpose of the Austri
ans was doubtful, and it was hardly supposed
that tluy would defend the points which
they then held, but fall back upon \ ienna
and give battle there. The utmost confusion he may also play,
prevailed in the Austrian ranks, and the des
perate condition of the empire was freely ac
knowledged.
In Bavaria the troops of the Confederation
had concentrated near Kissingen, in an at
tempt to cover Wurzburg. The Prussian ar-
mv. under General Munteuffel, had advanced
upon their position, and a battle was expect
ed on the 13th iust.
It will be seen from this brief statement ot
the military situation that the advantage
still remains with the Prussians. The demor
alized condition of the Austrian army and the
activity of the Prussians and Italians places
the Austrian empire in a critical condition;
anti only fresh complications can save her
from further humiliation by tlie loss of her
capital.—N. y. Herald.

explained by an increase of85ZKW in Cotton st sea from

In our last report we said the apparent supply (here

gradually decline, but looking at the quantity now at
