MACON, FRIDAY MAY 1, 1803.
Presbyterian Reunion.—For thirty-one
years the Presbyterians of the United States
have been divided and known respectively as
the New and Old School, but a general Con
vention of delegates from the various divi
sions adopted, last year, a basis for reunion,
and it is now being discussed and acted upon
in the subordinate synods and presbyteries
whose ratification is necessary. The Presby
terians of Western New York recently met at
Buflalo, and unanimously agreed to the pro
posed plan. Their example will probably
be generally followed throughout the coun
try, and as the leading clergymen on both
sides are in favor of the measure a great
breach of thirty years’ standing will at last
be healed. The abrogation of slavery and
the prevalence of more liberal views respect
ing abstract questions of theology have ma
terially paved tlie way for the unity of the
denomination.

An ardent Pennsylvania Democrat assured

eight out of ten, bethinks, and he mentioned
it as a good joke, that even the partners of tho
bosoms of Forney and Kelley (Mobile riot

irrepressible Democrats. If tho Northern

Fight.—A regular old fashioned country
fight, of tho fist and skull pattern, took place
in tho street this afternoon between Gen. L.
J. Gartrell and Geo.Hammond. Esq., both of
this city.
The difficulty, wc understand, originated
in some words which were passed between
Gen. Gartrell and Judgo Hammond (the father
of one of tho combatants) yesterday. As
there were no doadly wenpon used, it is
thought that neither party is seriously injured.

A Spiritualist on the Waters.—Just
before noon yesterday a man over sixty years
of ago left the mouth of the Genesee for
Oswego in a little boat not moro than four
teen feet long, and having a flat bottom. He
put up his little sail and stood away to the
eastward, his craft bounding over the billows,
which were rolling pretty high under a strong
westerly gale. He could been seen for six or
eight miles from Charlotte, and was going all
right. This foolish and adventurous naviga
tor says ho is acting under the direction 01 a
spirit. He, with this craft, was to go to the
Atlantic, but was directed to make a trial trip
to Oswego.—(2K T.) Union, April 13(4.
Destructive Tornados.—We learn that
two very destructive tornadoes passed over
the country south of this city on Wednesday
night, the 15th inst. One passed over the
country from the vicinity of Cusseta, in an
easterly direction. After doing much damage
to timber, houses and fences in its track, it
disappeared in the vicinity.of County Line
Church, and dipped down again about three
miles cast, and did considerable damage on
the heads of Pine Knot
The other extended from the vicinity of
Georgetown, in Quitman county, across the
country in a north easterly direction through
Stewart and a portion of Marion counties,
for over thirty miles in length. In its track
many houses were unroofed and othem blown
down. As many as six negroes arc reported
to have been killed by tho falling of cabin?.
The plantations have been seriously damaged
by the large fall of rain on the same night.—
In many instances tho crop will have "to be
replanted.—Columius Sun, 23d.

Sergeant Bates Refused Admission to the
Capitol—His own Account of the Affair.
Metropolitan Hotel,
Washington, April 16, 1868.
To the Editor of the National Intelligencer.-]
There seeme to be some misunderstanding
in regard to my being refused admittance
into the Capitol, on the afternoon of the 14th
instant, therefore, I make the following state
ment;
In company with the committee appointed
to receive me, I approached the Capitol by
the way of Pennsylvania Avenne, and expec
ted and desired to enter tlie Capitol grounds
through the gate fronting Pennsylvania Ave
nue. In this however, I was disappointed.—
Several policemen met me before I reached
the sidewalk, and told me that I could not
enter tlie Capitol grounds through that gate,
and that they liad orders not to allow me to
enter by the fiont gate. This was heard by
the committee and escort that attended me,
and also by the policemen who had accom-
pained me from Fourteenth street The in
quiry was then made if I would be allowed
to'enter at all.
The response was, “Yes; go around and
come in at tho East front entrancewhich
we did. When I reached the top step lead
ing into the rotunda, I was stopped by a po
liceman, who placed his hand against my
breast, and told me that I could not enter,
The order of Gen. Michler, allowing me ac
cess to the dome, and permission to^ there
unfurl the flag that I carried, was then
handed to the police officer, who quickly said:
the approval of the Sergeant-at-Arms will
have to be obtained before I could be per
mitted to enter.
Another policeman took the order and
went in, as I supposed, to get the approval of
the Sergeant-at-Arms. I think I waited at
least twenty minutes before I heard that Mr.
Brown had endorsed the permit. Just be
fore hearing that he had done so T said' to the
policeman, who all the time stood ioimedi
ately in front of me: “Sir, I am wet and cold,
allow me to enter the rotunda, and get out of
this crowd.” To which he said: “No; you
cannot."
8om,e gentlemen on my right then said:
“Why not ? Why can’t Sergeant Bates enter
the Capitol; lie is an American citizen, and
they are allowed to enter?” Tho policeman
said: . “ Because no demonstrations are
allowed here; he can go in, but not with
that flag.” .
This surprised me very much, as I could
not see '■how carrying the - American fl-ig
could alter or cbaDge my position as a citi
zen, or lessen my rights or privileges that es
an American citizen I might have. I saw
white and black entering, and yet admittance
was refused to me. After the police office
said that I could enter, but not with the
flag, I, uninfluenced by man or men, made
the remark myself, “Well, I see tnat there is
opposition to my entering the Capitol. I
know not why; but I will furl the flag and
go to the hotel.” Some one said, “No, wait
and receive a positive answer.”
I waited after hearing that 3Ir. Brown had
endorsed the permit, and until I was told by
the policeman and others that Mr. Ordway’s
consent would have to be obtained before I
would be allowed to enter, and that Sir. Ord-
way could not be found. I was the first and
the last to propose leaving, and did leave as
soon as I was told that Mr. Ordway could not
be found.
In conclusion, allow me to say that I am
not ono of a “ring,” nor am I controlled or in
fluenced by any man or men; and I desire to in
form J. Corson, of the United States Capitol
Police, that the American flag that I curried
from Vicksburg to the national capitol is
made of silk, and not of “calico.”
Respectfully, yours,
Sergeant G. II. Bates.

A writer in “Every Saturday” gives this
toothsome information about the making of
sugar plums :
It puzzles older heads than those of the
children to know how this drop of delicious
liquid gets into the center of the sweet.—
Like many other puzzling matters, it is very
easily explained. The flavoring essence
mixed with tho liquid sugar, and when
poured into the mould the latter crystalizes
immediately over the former. These essences,
so nice to the taste, are the most remarkable
examples of the power of chemistry to trans
form very repugnant articles into delicacies.
Fusel oil is the-base of the pear essence, and
the pine-apple essence is obtained by dilut
ing either with alcliohol. The chemist in his
laboratory with great cunning, manufactures
scores of these essences, which are supposed
to he the veritable product of delicate fruits
The veritable sugar plum, or almond-drop.
i3 made'in a very interesting manner,
number of almonds, aftor bung coated with
a little gum to catch the white 6Ugar, are
thrown into a deep pan surrounded with
steam. This pan revolves sideways at an an
gel of forty-five degrees. As it revolves the
almonds, of course, tumble over one another.
And whilst they arc doing so, the workman
pours over them from time to time liquid
white sugar, allowing a sufficient time to
elapse between each supply for the sugar to
harden upon the comfit. »In this way it
grows by the imposition of layer upon layer,
until it is the proper size. By this simple
motion, the sugar is deposited in the smooth
est and most regnlar manner. Girls are lar^
ly employed in the sugar plum trade; they arc
quick, aud stick well to their work; but they
have a sweet tooth, and help themselves to the
lozenges pretty liberally. As it is impossible
to stop petty pilfering, they are given liberty
to eat as much as they like, and the establish
ment we went over annually debited itself
with a sum of two hundred pounds for the
sweets consumed by the children. They cer
tainly did not look any the worse for their un
limited consumption of lollypops.

sometimes tear their victims with their claws,
and sometimes bespatter them with their

stamp swaggering about a court-house, with
the port and bearing of a bar-room bully,
alter his second mug of flip, insulting wit
nesses, treating the opposing counsel with in
dignities, studied and unstuddied— and es
pecially hectoring and brow-beating the
bench ? Is there any spectacle which more
m*ves pity and indignation than that of a
judge, who, from weakness or self-distrust,
allows himself to be overcrowed by one ol
these legal ruffians ? When, therefore we judge
the severity of the bench, we must measure
the provocations by which that severity is
called forth. Sc long as this aggressive
spirit dwells among the bar, it is dcsirable.it
is necessary, that there should be a power on
the bench to keep it within bounds. We
may consent to have a hedge of thorns
around the fountain of justice, if they arc to
be protcctecl against swinish tusks and swin
ish hoofs. So long as wc have jackals and
hyenas at the bar, I hope we shall have a
lion on the bench, who, with pne stroke of
his vigorous paw can, it need he, bring their
scalps right down over their eyes.”

Draining it Out.—The lowc-f House of
the Ohio Legislature has passed a measure
disfranchising all persons having a “visible
admixture” of negro blood.
Deserted His Race.—Amoiig other inci
dents of the election yesterday, says the At
lanta Intelligencer, was that of ex-Govc-rnor
Joseph E. Brown carrying a squad of negroes
to the polls nnd voting them. For one who,
iu past years, so largely enjoyed the confi
dence of the white people of Georgia, this
conduct, to say the least of it, is ot question
able taste.
