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It was known that he wished the law repealed,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.

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 —* ,,

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

zephyr.
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

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.

Macon, one bearing the fec-simile of Mr. Schenck’s
signature, and the other stamped all over, front and

it is a chooring and suggestive fact that both our
correspondents were honest enough to put- postage

Whisky drinkers will be interested in a late re

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

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.

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.

The market opened qniet this morning at 26^<§27
cents, buyers preferring to wait the usual noon tele
grams before going in. They came and were highly

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.

We, yesterday, saw a twig cut from an English

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. The
name of Major Andre is engraved on the back,
dated 1774. Maker of watch, Thomas Campbell,
Albany, England. For particulars, address A. W.,
P. O. box 107, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.
The Hanlons mado a trip about the streets of
New Orleans on their velocipedes on Monday after
noon, trying it first upon the sidewalk. 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

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. Bus
sell, Sr., and Connell,, will constitute therBench
of Magistrates to examine the case on Friday.—

The Instiiute is situated *t Montpelier.the seatef
the once celebrated School, under the conduct ofthe -

and Classical Departments will be under the pergonal
instruction ofthe Rector and Principal, aided by com
petent assistants. Tho Department of Music. Instrw-
tnental and Vocal, will be in charge of Professor
Frederic Schmidt. Tho French Language will bw
tough t by Mile. Josephine Lo Gal; and Drawing and
Fainting, by Mies Ada L. Eno.
The Religious In-truciion is in accordance with the
principles and usages of the Protestsnt Episcopal
Church, but care is taken not to interfere with the
persuasions and feelings ofpupils belonging to diffsr-
ent creeds. AU the young ladies are required to at
tend morning and ereniog devotions on week-days,
and tho services of the Church twice every Sunday, in -•
the Chapel ol the Institute.
The Rector and Principal of this Institution are ex- -
tensively known for their long experience and'success •
in the instruction and trainingofyoungladies:anditit ••

Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
Fenfilthe purpose* of a Laxative Hed-
iciue.
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
