Good Indication. Y?e are told by the negroes that a good many families of their own color are moving out of (own into the country, to try their hands at fanning on their own hook and on shares. Re ports of actual result from their friends in the conntry have inspired a spirit of emulation which, wo hope, will diminish our town negro populations—increase the cotton product, and diminish the number of actnal idlers and of thoso who depend for subsistence on the chances of occasional employment at odd jobs. We hear of negroes who have realized their three, four and even five hundred dollars netprofits as the result of last year's farming operations and sow feel as independent as nabobs. Let the force of their example be felt among all their acquaintances, and point the way to the prac tical elevation of the colored population of the South. Each man can, if he will apply himself, goon own his little farm and, with the help of wife and children, raise his ten or twelve bales of cotton, besides com, wheat, pork, poultry god everything to make him comfortable. Col ored man, take to the soil and strive for the position of an independent proprietor. WIio Holds 1 lie Cards? The sudden and ignominious fate of the Ten- ure-of-office bill in the House, shows that Gen. Grant’s influence in that body is predominant. It was known that he wished the law repealed, and, though a leading party measure last year, it perished like Jonah’s gourd, lv seems to us a reasonable supposition that Gen. Grant's views in respect to reconstruction in Georgia will, in oil probability, have a similar currency n the House. Gen. Grant is currently reported to be opposed to farther territorialization of the States, and anxious that the political docket should be cleared of the whole subject matter of reconstruction before bis inauguration. These are said to be his views; and, if so, they encour age the hope that Congress may yet refuse to reconstruct reconstruction. If we can pass this crisis safely, affairs will settle down to universal quiet Our cropping and our business win be undisturbed by politics - excitement; but if we fail, we must enter once more upon the sea of unprofitable and demoralizing political agitation. The Legislature. The Atlanta Intelligencer of yesterday says: Our advice is, upon the point in controver- ■> sy. that the Legislature, when it convenes, ehaU <k> nothing. As our Augusta contemporary, the Chronicle and Sentinel, pertinently remarks: “The recognized legal presumption is, that the legislature acted in good faith, and with entire honesty, in ejecting the negro members. The presumption remains in their favor, and is pri- m fu-ia conclusive, until actnal proof to the contrary is submitted. "With this fair and universally recognized legal presumption in their favor, it would be worse than folly for members to set about, immediately on their re turn to the capital, an attempt, by long legisla tive preambles and whereases, followed by a string of unmeaning and conciliatory resolu tions, to prove, to the satisfaction of Washing ton Radicals, that all they have done with the purest and best motives; or, that if they have violated the letter or spirit of the re- Mastruction acts, or the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution, there action should be at- { buted rather to their ignorance, than to a llful purpose to do wrong.” Let the Legislature, when it convenes, pro- I reed with the legitimate business before it. If Congress shall undertake to remodel the body- to restore the ejected colored members to seats a it, and to apply the test oath to the sitting wtubers—let it do so ! The Telegraph has no “advice” to give to the Legislature; but it may not be impertinent to say that, were we a member of that body, we Should not “ go it blind,” on the ostrich princi ple, or shut our eyes to the important fact that the existence of the Legislature is in serious 'huger, and that the people of Georgia are threatened with the positive mischiefs of another Snad unseltlement and the evils which may flow from it. We should omit no reasonable action to disarm the territorializers, and to strengthen the hands of such members of Congress as are | opposed to capital punishment of State Govern ments. ^»d as to proceeding to general legislation, »e should be governed by views of propriety totdeipediency, basod upon the best infonna- »e could obtain as to probability of the de- ‘ ttUc b°n of the State Government. We pre- the legislature will havo early and relia- ' e bdormation on that point; and if the Gov- tttment is to bo destroyed, we see no use of i the expense of prolonged »which ir. to be declared null and void. is now. These are the actual facts in the case, which every man of sense, information, and candor, in Georgia feels and knows to exist Consider, then, his mental condition when he reads in these Washington dispatches, letters, and newspapers, the constant talk about “ the terrible condition of affairs in Georgia." He rubs his eyes, and pnzzles his brain with vain conjectures about the origin of so ground less a delusion. He is like a man overwhelmed with testimony that he is in the midst of great natural convulsions, when he sees and hears around bim all the indicia of a summer's day. He holds out his hand to catch the rain and hail, and it is played upon by the rays of the summer sun. He listens for thunder and hears the war bling of the birds. He braces himself against —* ,, thehorricane, to cheek. .«ta»«ab,,ta flee he ever held afterwards was a member of the Virginia Secession Convention, but he violently op posed seceding. He acted with the Whig party during bis whole life—was a firm friend of Mr. Clay—belonged to the Know Nothings while they existed—waB a Union man during the war, and a Radical since. He was doggedly stubborn in all his convictions, and never ceased to advocate a measure long after it was hopelessly dead. He died from ac cumulation of fat around the heart. A great deal of doubt and indignation has been expressed by the President’s recent amnesty procla mation. As his authority for doing so has been de nied, we will quote the following section from a law adopted by Congress in 1862, and signed by Presi dent Lincoln on the 17th day of July of that year: “Sec. 13. And be it further enacted, that the President is hereby authorized, at any time here after, by proclamation, to extend to persons who may have participated in the existing rebellion in any State or part thereof, pardon and amnesty, with Amebicus, January 11,1869. r‘ n Tdegraah: Will you please call at- through the Telegraph to a matter V* Uto press seems to have forgotten, and tito people have borne for want of power it, till they seem to hhve settled down ■iillen silence—despairing of ever getting a f . * or the better.

Now, the testimony upon the material condi tion is, in brief, not more against the stomach of his reason and the evidences of his senses, in the one case, than it would be in the other. He can't account for the existence, and much less the continuance and increase of so gross a delu sion, which every testimony of his reason and his senses rejects. Tell him of the enormous amount of testimony before the reconstruction committee, and it all has as much weight with him as if it were brought to establish that the sun is green—the grass red, and'^rows white. He knows better, and he has a right to wonder why everybody else does not know better, since he is persuaded that every man of candor and intelligence in Georgia knows better. The whole difficulty in the case we hold to be simply this: The testimony relied upon violates all sound principles of evidence in three par ticulars—its nature, its character, and its extent. First, its nature. The effort is to prove the existence of a condition of general disorder and demoralization by citing isolated and exception al cases of outrage. Now any community on earth can be proved to be totally demoralized in the same way. We will undertake to prove to the committee, upon the same plan, that New York, Chicago or Boston are totally demoralized. We will not only bring seventy “outrages” be fore them but seventy time seven; and if they will only shut their eyes to the fact that while these outrages are the work of a few lawless people, ninety-nine in the hundred are quiet, moral, and law-abiding, the case will be com plete. Second, the character of the evidence. It is es parte. All the evidence really accepted and credited comes from people who expect to pro fit by their testimony. Few, or none cf them have any substantial interest in the character or welfare of Georgia. It is true, other classes of witnesses have been reluctantly admitted; but their evidence goes for nothing. Third, the extent of the testimony. A few politicians, mostly of the carpet-bag, adven turer sort, give ail the testimony that the com mittee cares to hear. We could establish what vro state to be the general condition of Georgia by the testimony of ninety in the hundred of her people ; but a little minority in interest would be permitted to outweigh it. Indeed, the material products of Georgia prove that it is utterly impossible that any such state of political or social disorganization as al leged should exist. A country cannot produce large crops, involving immense labor, while in a state of political and social anarchy. Order and security ore the prime conditions to any such material development as Georgia has shown the past year. Our cotton crop is itself irrefragible and conclusive evidence that Georgia is, in the main, orderly, peaceable, quiet, industrious, and that violence does not and cannot exist, in any marked degree, notwithstanding all the committee’s evidence of the “Terrible condi tion of affairs in Georgia.” Mr. Dickson on Labor Contracts, The Covington Enterprise publishes the fol lowing from Mr. David Dickson: Sparta, Dec. 15, 18G8. W. Y. Harris, Dear Sir:—Yonr letter of the 9th instant has been received. My plan is to give freedmen a house, fire wood and garden, and one-third of what is gathered, they having no interest in pasturage. They boarding them selves. At this they can make more than at wages. In addition to the above, they find their own hoes and axes. The pilferage, abuse to stock, running gear, etc., makes it impossible for them to be worth more than one-third. All expense for manures are to be divided, they paying one-third. The best plan is to hire for wages, where all land owners agree to it. In this conntry there are few hirelings. The white people are to blame for it All should agree to one course of action. Then we can establish some, system of labor. I am respectfully, r, David Dicksojt. 1 welfare." This law has never been repealed, and hence every one engaged in the rebellion embraced in the Presi dent's proclamation, certainly stands pardobed.— Congress gave the Executive too plain and explicit power cited in the section we have quoted, and he has simply acted upon it We, therefore, hold that every man engaged in that rebellion, from Mr. Da vis down, has been released by the late amnesty, and that no legal proceedings can now of right bo instituted against them. AsotHeb old Dutch will has- turned up in New York, involving toe right to forty or fifty millions of property. It is said that Rip Van Dam. a very wealthy old Hollander, died about 125 years ago, it was supposed, without a will, and his property was disposed of according to law. Recently his will has been discovered, and his heirs have employed able counsel to get possession of the immense fortune of which they have been deprived. Some of the most valuable lots on Broadway and Fourteenth streets, valued at thirty or forty millions, and much otter property are in question. The New York Tribune says “the action which Congress should take relative to the existing Legis lature and State Government of Georgia seems to us to be £lain. The Reconstruction act declares that, until the State shall be “bylaw admitted to representation in Congress,” its government shall be provisional merely. An act has been passed au thorizing the admission of members from Georgia' into Congress, bnt they have not been admitted;— Therefore, the present Government is provisional- merely.” To thf question whether the Representar fives elect should be admitted to Congress, the Tribune answers, NO. “Our legal reason is that the Legislature which elected the Senators, and author ized the election of the Representatives, was never lawfully constituted, having failed on its organiza tion to administer the oath of office required by the Reconstruction acts. They did not administer this oath, because it would have excluded from their seats a large number of rebel members who could not take it. But it was the very purpose of the Re construction acts to exclude these rebels from the work of organizing the State. * Hence the Legisla ture has at all times been an unsworn and unorgan ized body. Its election of Senators audits pretend ed passago of the Fourteenth Amendment are void.” It spitefully remarks: “ The rebels of Geor gia havo shown their teeth in an attempt to thwart- the Reconstruction measures of Congress, and op pose the final triumph in that State of thoso princi ples of equal justice to all men on which Grant and Colfax were elected by an overwhelming majority of the American people. The remedy is simply to re quire that the Legislature of Georgia shall reorgan ize, under an order of the Military Commander of the District, by the admission only of those mem bers who can tako the oath required by the Recon struction laws to be administered to all persons elected to take any official part in the work of recon struction.” The late difficulty between the United States—(or rather between a Minister, Vfasbburue,)—and Para guay, has been settled. It amounted to nothing from the beginning but a “ scaly ’’ member of the Washbume family, while acting in the capacity of Minister, playing into the hands of the enemy. It is gratifying to know that only six weeks of the present session of Congress remains. It will expire by limitation on the 4th of March. So will the ad ministration of Andrew Johnson. There is ample time, however, for that vindictive body to pour out the vials of its wrath upon Georgia. It is said an extra session will be immediately called, which may Heavt ILuxeoad Teaxsactiox.—In Philadel phia a number of capitalists have been induced to negotiate for the purchase of the Kimberly Springs property, in bland county, Southwes tern Virginia.

The undeveloped salt wells believed to o on the land no doubt influence the agent sent on by those capitalists to report favorably as regards the mineral value of these lands. The price agreed on is $300,000 for the tract. A stock company is being formed, and it is intend- ed to commence improving the property at once. One hundred thonsand dollars have been set aside for improvements during the present year. —Lynchburg Republican. Sue Morphy’s Claim. The telegraph occasionally refers to the “Suo Murphy” claim » s being ijiscusscd before Con gress. This is the claim of a lady residing in Northern Alabama for pay for supplies taken by the Federal army during the war. The loyaUy of the lady, we believe, is not questioned. Ihe fact that the supplies were taken and used by the army is not denied. The justice of the claim is admitted. But Congress will not pass a bill or dering its payment. And why? Because the members say that the Government owes so many of these kind of debts that it is not able to pay them. It owes so many it won’tpayany. If is not repudiation, what is it ? There are millions of dollars of these claims, and the time will come when they will be lobbied through Con gress. Let those who have lost keep s correct record of their losses. They may be able to re alize something for them one of ttese daj^.— With a united Southern and a divided -Northern vote in Congress, the thing is not only possible, but probable.—Daily l^ress. .. ,-** “Did yon know,” said a cunning Gentile to a Charleston —3?* manias i “that they hung Jew's ja^BMS to- s *«e issued bvtb« r ' getter in Portland ?” “Indeed. rephedSolo- wsued by the ordinary of Charles- J 2i 0n “den it ish veil dat you and I ish not -t«o whites ana 386 colored.

We re ceived two yesterday from private individuals in Macon, one bearing the fec-simile of Mr. Schenck’s signature, and the other stamped all over, front and back, with the name of the Hon. Mr. Broomall. But it is a chooring and suggestive fact that both our correspondents were honest enough to put- postage stamps on the letters notwithstanding.” We were not beforo aware of Schenck’s and Broomall's signa tures being in town. We suppose these envelopes were used during the late campaign. Whisky drinkers will be interested in a late re port of the New York Board of Excise. Of thirty- two samples of Bourbon and brandy, all bnt four were found to contain fusel oiL But' the inquiry naturally arises, what is fusel oil ? A paper before us undertakes to supply the information: “Dungll- son describes it as an acrid, volatile oil, formed in the manufacture of potato brandy, and which is not easily separable from it; • and another authority says it accompanies ordinary alcohol in its production from potatoes and grain. Dnngliaon also says that its chemical constitution is analogous to that of al cohol, and that, in small doses, it is highly stimu lating—acting like narcotics in general; while, in large doses, it destroys the mucus membrane of the stomach.” A drunkard died in Macon a few years ago, whose stomach was analyzed by one of our physicians. He found it full of holes, and looking very like that of. a horse dead from botts. Senator Morton estimates the amount of gold coin now in the United States at from $400,000,000 to $500,000,000. But the Financial Chronicle esti mates the total amount to be $228,800,000. Howell Cohb and John M. Botts, when they were members of Congress were personally warm friends, although they widely differed politically. Both in- clincd fo corpulency, and both were very fond of anecdotes, of which each seemed to have an inex haustible store. It is said they always left the cap ital together when Congress finished its day’s work. However unpopular Mr. Botts was politically, he was not a bad man at heart, but was one of the kindliest men in the world. Since the war he has been ruled out of office in Virginia, on the ground of his hospitality to sick and wounded Confederate soldiers, although wo all know ho bitterly opposed the South throughout the whole of that struggle. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Weekly Review of the Market. OFFICE DAILY TELEGRAPH, > \ ' January 13—Evening, 1869./ General Remarks.—There has been a marked improvement in the business and trade of the week cloeing this evening, upon those of the first week of the year. But for the unfavorable weather and bad. condition of the roads, a much-heavier trade would have been done the past week. We have no change to notice in the general features of i our monetary and financial markets. Money continues easy and financial affairs here are in healthy and vigorous condition. In groceries and provisions, trade was very good to-day and yesterday, and prices for leading articles in this line are very firm. Cotton.—Receipts for the week ending this eve ning 2115 bales; sales 3170; shipments 2482; re ceipts to-day 483 ; sales 625; shipments 340.

Parties of young men are often made up to go there and wash gold and hunt during the winter season. Sometimes their gains are considerable. The slate is near the surface and easily broken up.

Cotton seems to have made a solid lodgment at twenty-seven cents. This does not in too least as tonish us. We have told the fanners time and again since the opening of the season, that they would get twenty-fivo for it by holding on—the as sertion being made after mature reflection, upon too law of demand and supply. It is gratifying to know that at least one-third of the crop of Georgia is still in the hands of the producers, and that, if they will sell now, they will get tho benefit of this extraordi nary price. According to our recollection, it did not go beyond twenty-eight and one-half cents at ary time in 18C7, in our market Wo have never thought it would go above this figure this year, hut havo al ways believed it would rise to it Our planters had best not hold on too long, however; it is now bringing the price we have contended they should have. The latest dispatch from tho Paris Peace Confer ence indicates that it will be a failure. If so, what then ? War between Greece and Turkoy will begin at once, with the old Crimean struggle between Russia, France and England lopming up again gloomily in the distance, Russia has never aban doned her intention of sooner or later expelling the Turk from Europe. To this the Western Powers have no objections, but they don’t want Russia to do it The French greatly prefer juBt now a war with Prussia, for the re-eBtablishment of her “ na tural boundary on tho Rhino ”; but the English are not anxious for a fight with any power whatever. We, yesterday, saw a twig cut from an English mulberry tree in the backyard of Dr. Emerson’s of fice, in this city, and upon it were the winter quar ters of a family of caterpillars. A bunch of leaves were collected and glued tagetoetby a substance re sembling too strands of a spider’s web. But the worm had first run a ring around tho root of the limb, killing it in order that its progress would not be prematurely disturbed in tho spring of the year by the rising sap and swelling bud. Each leaf in the collection was severed and so kneeded together that a perfectly ' impervious roof was formed. Un derneath this roof, the eggs were found to be glued to it in tho greatest profusion. These constituted the final preparations—‘'the last will and testa ment”—-of the parent worm before its death, and at the conclusion they dropped off—lifeless. In tho latter portion of the spring of tho year, tho egg hatches, and then comes the larvto and the worm. The Miller Coal Mines, fifteen miles south of Pittsburg, Penn., are described by the Louisville Courier as being in conflagration. An attempt to check tho fierce career of the fire was made by the erection of mud walls and the pumping in of large quantities of water, and by this means the fire was partially smothered, but the heat became so intense said the pressure of gas so great that the walls were burst, and the flames are now sweeping onward with greater,force than ever. The fire is spreading through the old mines at the rate of sixty yards per day, and it is feared the entire field may be de stroyed. J. W. Fomev having gone into the land specula tion business in the South, “ my two papers, both drily,” have wonderfully tamed down. Since when it is perfectly safe for emigrants to oome down to the rebel States. They can settle upon lands bought from liira with tho moet perfect safety, but should any hapless wanderer stop upon anybodyelse’s land, it will he premeditated suicide. Mas. Emma D. E. N. O. P. Q. Y. Southworth still deals out wretched fourth-rate novels. She has re cently published one in which the South comes in for a full share of her sarcasm and abuse. This is a very fashionable theme these days. We can hear all sorts of bad names and boar any kind of malig nity coining from any otter source than that of a woman. She disarms us. Mrs. Southworth’s novels were always weak, trashy and coming under what we might term American Literary Mush. Yfhen, in ad dition to this, they are mixed up' with politics, they are intolerable. The Hartford (Conn.) Daily Times says “Congress is proposing to reconstruct Georgia, to dictate to the people the sort of Constitution they shall adopt— and this after Georgia has once complied with the conditions imposed upon her people, through usur pation, by Congress. The new attempt to degrade the people of the State, is rousing the entire people. The Badicals of the State now protest against it, as an outrage too intolerable to" be home: and they are protesting in terms which tho ‘reconstruction’ committee cannot misunderstand. They feel that the time has como for Congressional usurpation and oppression to cease; and that Georgia should now be a State in the Union, on an equality with the other States, and entitled to regulate her own local affairs, according to the principles upon which the Bepublic was established. Having been humiliated and governed and oppressed enough by Vermont and Massachusetts, the Badicals of Georgia now as sume that tho people of their State are entitled to the same rights and privileges that are enjoyed by the people of Vermont. They will make their own Constitution and their own laws, in no respect vio lating toe Constitution of the United States. Being entitled to this they demand their rights; and the friends of freedom throughout the world, will ac cord to them the justice of their cause.” The Fond dn Lac Commonwealth has the follow ing item: The identical watch of Major Andre, spoken of in the story we print this week, is owned by an aged widow who now resides in Fond dn Lac, Wisconsin, and who desires to dispose of it.

After they had been once around the square, an edict from the Metropolitan policemen compelled them to take to the street, where for a short time they continued disporting themselves upon the bicycles. The fashionable season in Washington is said to he very doll and stupid. The waves of Ministers are holding weekly receptions, to which a few of the upper-crust only are admitted. Having no axes to grind for their husbands, they make no special effort to conciliate plebeian or patrician. The telegraph yesterday reported the cotton mar kets all over the world aB active, excited and ad vancing. It is hard to tell where it will go to. Sev eral months must elapse before tho crop of 1868 will go under the shadow of that of 1869. Last * year the rise was stopped by this cause. Bnt there must he a limit. Cotton goods are advancing in a corresponding ratio, that is to say, about one cent per yard for every three in the raw material. Our mills havo as many orders as can bo filled in two months. The present fino price of cotton will more or less demoralize our planters. We aro afraid they will neglect their grain crops and go too exclusively for the great staple. It is enough to tempt them, we admit—to fall back upon tho old plan of planting all their ground in cotton and spending the proceeds for com and meat. Carl Schnrz, the German infidel and Radical, i3 a prominent candidate for the United States Senate beforo the Missouri Legislature. He is running against Mr. Henderson, whose only crime is he voted against tho impeachment of Mr. Johnson. His chances of to election seem to bo very good. .The New York World says Massachusetts is “the pauper State,” and goes on to make good the decla ration : “ With a population of 1,267,031, Massachu setts is declared to have had last year 57,349 pau pers, or one of about every 22 of the population!— Of toeso, 11,385 wero fully 1 supported; 20,014 were relieved tod partially supported, and 20,000 wero vagrants. These figures relate to tho pauper class alone. They include only that number of the in sane—mostly harmless and incurable cases—who aro Supported in tho State or town almshouses— perhaps, 1,300 in all. They are exclusive of too thousands of otter dependents, such as tho pupils in the reformatories, idiot and blind schools, and deaf and dumb asylums, the inmates of the State and private lunatic asylums, the inmates of State and county prisons and hospitals," etc. The Michiganders are agitaitng the subject of di viding their State. The southern portion is rich, very productive and has at least an endurable cli mate. Tho northern is precisely the reverse. The lands are poor, tho dimato horrible, and tho people ignorant. The southerners are anxious to get rid of them, are moving on the lino of secession, aro ashamed of their brethren, and want them turned out of tte famlw. ' Positively tho latest novelty is • the fall of a red snow on tho Missouri river, near Leavenworth, Kansas. The local paper says “it was not of a very bright hue, .but rather a dingy color. The water ob tained from melting a quantity of it presented no remarkable feature, but was very similar to that produced by dissolving ordinary white snow, save that it contained a species of sediment very similar to brick dust.” He philosophically remarks that “rod snow is by means uncommon in certain locali ties,” and “in the Arctic regions it frequently falls several times during too year!” In conclusion ‘Some meni of ecienco havo inclined to the opinion that the color is produced by purely atmospheric caused” • A local paper at Atlanta announces the forthcom ing “first appearance” of a Harry Robinson. “He is,” according to his eulogist, “a little more than a twin for Harry Macarthy, for in addition to the pro tean characters which he assumes with extraordina ry rapidity, he has a comical mechanical donkey which beats the last hair off of Mazeppa, or any other animal.” Should that fail to give the man plenty of bread and the donkey a sufficiency of oats, the following will most assuredly do so: “ Mr. Rob inson is also a whole orchestra of fifteen pieces and performs admirably.” Tub report of the safety of Dr. Livingston is fully confirmed. Upon his return to civilization he will tell ns wonderful stories of terra incognito Africa. He has for three years been in land whereon foot of none bnt savage ever trod. The latest announcement of Grant’s policy is that he will oppose any further grant of government aid to the Pacific Railroad. We already know of his op position to aiding the Louisiana levees. For the spe cial information of young Radicals we will state that opposition to internal improvements by the genera! government was ever one of the cardinal principles of the democratic party. If there are any old Jack sonian democrats in tho country, Gen. Grant will find them firm friends in this. . i In his message to the Louisiana Legislature, Gov, Warmouth recommends forgetfulness of the past and the repeal of the disfranchising clause of the State Constitution. This is quite unexpected from that red-hot, proscriptive radical official. Bnt “can any good come ont of Nazareth ?” The European Peace Conference met in Paris Saturday. The dispatches from it are quite .contra!- dictoiy, but we havo no idea that it will end in war. It seems to be agreod, however, that if it does fol low, Greece and Turkey will not alone bo engaged. The little island of Crete may bo a match which will soon fire a huge bombshell. The only question we are interested in is, the price of cotton—whether it will ho affected by a war or not. Judge Jared L Whitaker, proprietor of the Intel ligencer, and his lady, “most elegantly and hospi tably entertained tho proprietors of all the” Atlanta papers, at his residence, on Tuesday last. “ In ad dition to tho members of the press, there wero also present Chief Justice Brown and Rev. W. T. Brant ley, D. D. Pastorof the Second Baptist Church. The party met early in tho evening, and did not break np until about 12 o’clock. During tho evening th6 Judge’s excellent lady served a mopt elegant and bountiful repast.” It is announced that “ the Louisiana negro, Me nard, who claims a seat in Congress, has been forced to leave Washington on account of impccuniosity," which means “ flat broke.” Tho Chicago Times says “ tho freedmen’s bureau furnished him * dead-liead’ transportation to his home—this being the only re cognition he has received from the Radicals. The ‘ rights of man ’ appear to be less in vogue than they were a short time since; tod Menard has dis covered that there is some difference between theory tod practice.” The Montgomery Advertiser invites the ladies giving memorial concerts to its city. It says: “They would meet with a warm reception here, and we hope they will come outside their own State and give our citizens an opportunity of paying a tribute to themselves and the noble cause of which they are engaged.” The Ogeeckee Insurrectionists—Commence ment and Continuance ok their Examination. Yesterday morning, Justice P. M. Bussell, Jr., held a court of examination at the court-house, for the purpose of having a preliminary exam ination in the case of the negroes now in-jail charged with insurrection against the lawful au thority of tho State of Georgia. Hon. Henry B. Jackson appeared aB counsel for the prosecution, and asked a continuance of the examination. There were important wit nesses for the State absent, and there had been no opportunity to have them here. Some of them were absent performing duties as officers of the State in arresting insurgents, and others were in Bryan county. Only a day or so had been allowed to notify these witnesses to be present; and therefore he asked that the case be continued for a short lime, until tho State summon its witnessess. Justice Bussell saidthatheconsideredthe appli cation aproper one, in order that justice might bo done to all parties concerned. He would, therer fore, continue the examination until Friday next, at nine o’clock, A, IL, . when-aU-witness es must be present. i Justices P. M. Bussell, Jr., Hart, P. M.

Perhaps no- one medi cine is so universally re quired by everybody as a cathartic, fior was erer any before so universal ly adopted into use. In every con Dtry and among all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative J*Ul. The obvious rea son is, that it is amorere liable and fnvmore effec tual remedy than ay other. Those who have tried it, know that it cured them; those who have not, know that ft cures their neighbors and friend*, and all know that what it docs once it does always —that it never fails through any fault or neglect of its composition. We have, and can show, thou sands upon thousands of certificates of remarka ble cures of the following complaints, but such cures are known in every neighborhood, and why should we publish them ? Adapted to all ages mid conditions in all climates; containing neither calo mel or any deleterious Ormr, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating pre serves them ever fresh and makes t Item pleasant to - take, while being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on the ' internal viscera to purify the blood and stimuiate-iC into healthy action—remove the obstructions of the > stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs. of the ' body, restoring their irregular action to health, ami I by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange ments as tire the first origin of disease. • .* :> Minute directions are given in the wrapper, on the box, for the following complaints, which these PiJts rapidly cure:— For 2*yMii«*|iMiii ur Imligntloa.
