MACON, FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 18C9,-
Tronblcs E.xliniKuished In
« onlCS K„rclRn Controversy.
A dinner on Sunday, Grant, on tolerable
-nthoritv, is reported to have said: “If we will
, ^construction alone, these minor perplexi-
(je9 ^ goon be swallowed up by greater events
- wing out of the recognition of Cuba and a
vintest over the Alabama claims."
C <oread the telegrams yesterday, and as we
tsteil a day or two ago, we believe the incom-
* administration will take very stringent
round with the British Government upon the
\latams claims-
If any particular interest predominates with
Gcu. Giant's administration, it will be the com
mercial and financial interests. They have em
bodied, ever since the war, his special friends
most enthusiastic supporters, and they have
contributed with extraordinary liberality to im-
..fove his private fortunes.
' Now, although the tone of these classes is or
dinarily very conservative, it is notorious that
[be wounds inflicted upon them by the Alabama
5»ve never even cicatrized by time. They are
<till as bitter as ever against the English gov
ernment, through whose connivance they allege
these depredations wore perpetrated. They
*ont at all the defences set up by Earl Derby,
in bis correspondence with Mr. Adams, and
which we think in the judgment of disinterest
ed parties, must be conclusive; and to sum up
•he case, their real ground of quarrel with that
government is that it dared to recognize
the Confederates as belligerents and accord to
them, not equal rights, as neutrals, but any
rights stall. Looking at the controversy as
impartially as we can,it seems to us that the po
sition of the parties offers little or no gronnd for
accommodation; and that the British government
went a great way for peace, when she consented
to submit these claims to arbitration.
But as we have seen before, no settlement oj
claims for actual damnge inflicted by the Ala
bama upon Northern bottoms, will be likely to
meet the demands of the incoming administra
tion. Gen. Grant, a few weeks ago, conversing
ttpon the treaty made by Revcrdy Johnson,
scouted at such a settlement and insisted that
Great Britain should be held to answer for tho
whole damage resulting from the interruption of
Sorthem commerco by tho operations of these
Eritish-bnilt Confederate Cruisers. No North
ern press has yet broken gronnd agninst this
citraordinary demand—a demand which is
learly almost illimitable in character and
amount. ..There is no telling what kind of a bill
would be bronght by the Northern people against
John Bull, upon grounds ot hypothetical, as
well as actual, damage—bills not only for ships
.ail cargoes destroyed, bnt for profits which
might have accrued from tho voyage—bills not
, nly for voyages interrupted in course—but for
voyages prevented and delayed—bills not only
for profits lost, bnt for profits which might have
accrued had it not been for these Confederate
war-vessels. It is a clear cose that a contro
versy between the two powers pushed upon
these grounds, if it does not eventuate in war,
must at least seriously threaten the harmony of
the two governments, and create a good deal of
uneasiness and ttpprehension.
If the foregoing dispatch is true, it is clear
that Get. Grant himself sees sufficient danger >
to the peace of the country ahead, to induce
him, substantially, to recommend to his Rudi'- il J
-upporters, in view of it, to cease their sectie .:! j
war upon the Southern people. Stop the li rle
tights, for we may have a bigger one on u*tr
Lands very shortly.
Now, leaving General Grant and the North 10
-ettle these matters as they may, we think there
is quite enough danger ahead to enter into the
arrangements and forecast of the Southern
planters for the coming crops. A war with Eng
land will leave cotton high and dry; and if it
rinds the planters without adequate bread crops,
it seems to us their case will be vexatious and
troublesome. This possible contingency, then,
affords another strong argument why planters
-horrid not neglect bread crops, which we hope
they will lav to heart.
.4 Jlistindcrstanding Somewhere,
The people of Georgia must be puzzled by
the telegrams about the alleged blunders in the
certificates of her so-called Representatives to
the 41st Congress. What do they mean? The
telegrams of yesterday, for illustration, stated
that “Gib credentials (of the members) from
Georgia, were defective by the omission of the
Congress for which they were elected.” And
again it is said, “These blunders will deprive
Georgia and Louisiana of a voice in the or
ganization of tho House.” It is quite certain
that the people of this State understood their
Representatives to have been elected for the
40th, and not for the 41st Congress, and the
ourission in the certificates to state that they
were elected for tho 41st Congress was at least
co “blunder." Representatives to the 41st
Congress were nominated last Fall by both par
ties in Georgia ; bnt there was no election, ow
ing to the default of the Legislature to enact a
law for that purpose, in the absence of which
the election will take place in regular course un
der the existing law, next October. Consequent
ly if no special election is provided for, Georgia
will be without Representatives during tho extra
The Inauguration Ball.
The Western telegrams state that “a fiendish
copperhead" had purchased ten tickets to the
ktugwation Ball and distributed them among
^Pces, with the stipulation that the distribu-
! *w should each personally attend and lend
fwatenance to the festivities. The affair, how-
‘ wr i got wind, and created such consternation
“ tt °cg select circles that prompt measures have
k® taken to intercept the darkies at the door.
If this is done, will it not be a case clearly de
eding the interposition of Judge Underwood
^d the Reconstruction Committee ? Will it be
,®y less a violation of the civil rights bill to deny
'•fcese negroes, with tickets in their hands, ad-
’•aission to the Ball, than it was in the Rich-

Repeiil of tho Tcnuro-otOlfice Act.
A LIVELY SKETCH OP FAMILY AFFAIRS.
It will be seen by the telegrams that another
attempt was made yesterday to get rid of the
Tenure-of-office Act, by an engrossed rider upon
an appropriation bilL It was adroit, but failed.
How this failure will afflict the incoming ad
ministration, and what importance is attached
to the repeal of that act, may. he gathered from
the following from the New York Wgold:
General Grant said to-day, in conversation
with a Western Radical Senator, “I really hope
that the Senate and House will not repeal the
law calling the Forty-first Congress in March, as
the Senate has left me only that body to deal
with.” These few words have traveled widely.
They have been told to, reported by, and mused
upon by nearly every Radical Congressman.
Tliey are as variously construed ns are the ap
prehensions roused by them. The following
will serve to explain them, perhaps: It is now
known that there is a Grant party and an anti-
Grant party in the Senate. Tho Grant party
are lead by all the Radical anti-impeachment
Senators, and also by Morton, Sherman, Tipton
and Nye, and such men as look back upon their
votes for impeachment as the scandal of their
-lives. The anti-Grant men are Abbott, Cattle,
Colliding, Conn ess, Cragin, Drake, Edmunds,
Ferry, Frelinghuysen, Howe, Howard, Morrill,
(of Vermont), Sprague, Stewart, Sumner, Tip-
ton, Wade, Williams, Wilson. The middle men
are the carpet-baggers, who are willing to sell
out to whichever side promises and pays the
most.
The vote to postpone the repeal of the Ten-
ure-of-Office act in caucus yesterday precisely
represents all the anti-Grant men and two car
pet-baggers, McDonald and Sawyer, who for the
time have flopped over to the anti-Grant side.
These men, by a trick, postponed the civil ten
ure repeal bill yesterday. Apparently, having
been in the caucus, their action is to be accepted
bv tho party, as on a motion to take up the bill
all the Radicals but six sided with the caucus
and voted no. Though attempts will be renew
ed by Grant Radicals, who smart at the snap-
judgment of the caucus, to take up the bill, it is
believed it will not be taken np, and the anti-
Grant men rule the roost for the few days left
of the present session. Grant accepts this fact,
so to-day he remarked that “the next Congress
will be the only body he has left to deal with.”
It is known to night that since yesterday the
President-elect has been mad, to use a plain
word, at the trick of the caucus. _ Everything
pointed to the repeal of the civil tenure law
and the caucus blasted alL That Grant was mad,
is mad, will remain mad, is conceded. That
grave Senators, his friends, fumed and swore
and were in a white heat of rage at the caucus
trick, is a matter of evidence. In its kind, there
exists as much strife about Grout in the Senate
of the Fortieth Congress to-day as there over
was about Johnson. The Republicans are divid
ed now into Grant and anti-Grant men. In March
they will be divided into administration and an
ti-administration men. The reasons for post
ponement of the civil tenure repeal bill are ac
cepted as silly—first, because they originated in
the bucolic brain of Wilson; second, because
they were based upon a reported fear of Mr.
Johnson's veto of it, when it was known he
would approve the repeal at once.
The anti-Grant men, who achieved postpone
ment by a trick, boast to-night that the next
Senate will do the same thing. The Grant men,
who still want the act repealed, are actually
promising a carte blanche of patronage under
Grant to the Democrats if they will co-operate
to obtain repeal. They declare, too, that no
man who voted for postponement yesterday will
ever share his confidence or his offices, and that
such nominations will be made as will be con
firmed in executive session by the united votes
of the Grant Republicans and the Democrats,
and none other. Hence, as Grant says to-day,
his appeal lies to the Forty-first Congress, and
within it he proposes to find and form his
friends. This is the situation to-night.
Tits Pacific Railroad.
It is announced that the Pacific Railroad has
been impassable, on account of snow, since the
12th of February last, and yet the winter has
been one of extraordinary mildness. Such inter-
uptions as this will speedily settle the question of
the availability of that hyperborian route to the
Pacific, as a permanent and reliable channel for
the enormous traffic between the Atlantic and
Pacific co sts—the great East and the great
West. An entire stoppage of communication
for u month, and perhaps for two or three
months, liable to happen at any time during
the winter, will not only produce a ruinous de
rangement of trade and credits, but be attend
ed with vast losses of the merchandise itself,
which will be buried up in the snows for an in
definite period. The chances are that, after
the route is built, it may have to be abandoned
in favor of one more Southerly.
Brownlow
Went to Washington in state with a special
exclusive car—a body gnard of four radicals,
and a story that somebody tried to shoot him on
the way. He is so singular a compound of ma
levolence and personal vanity, that should he
ever find himself out of a quarrel or public
gossip, the verdict will be “found dead.” This
ingenious expedient to create talk about him
self, you see, has answered the purpose ; for it
got him admission to the press telegrams, and
made him the subject of many newspaper para
graphs like this one. Brownlow will be in his
clement in the Senate as the leader of the car
pet-bag faction of that body.
CITY
From Cuba.—The more we hear from Cuba,
the less we know. The Spanish bulletins of the
war, which are oil we get, are as luminous as a
Chinese vermillion edict about the long-haired
rebels. Tho rebels always get the worst of the
fight, but the insurrection still lives and flour
ishes. Meanwhile, Congress has passed unani
mously, a resolution sympathizing with Spain
and Cuba, and authorizing the President to
recognize Cuba whenever, in his opinion, a re
publican form of government shall have been
established.
That’s a queer resolution. Sympathising with
old Spain while yon steal her “brightest jewel.
Too Late.—Our Atlanta Reporter’s letter
reached us yesterday morning again—too late'
for this edition, because failing in the morning
we supersede it with tho reports of the Atlanta
daily press. We wish always to place the Leg
islative reports on our outside. Would that we
could dispense with them altogether. '
Got the Fidgets.—The financiers are in a
fidgety mood, on the Alabama claims question,
They are afraid that Grant in his Inaugural
speech to-day will throw a brickbat at Great
Britain, and if so it might hit the “securities”
on the shins, and “drop ’em.” We shall see
what we shall behold.
The Cincinnati Gazette says a Legislature
cannot be chosen in Ohio which would not
adopt the 15th amendment. •
Seven Islands Factory.
The Monroe Advertiser of Jesterday says:
We learn that the water privileges and site of
the well known Cotton Factory formerly owned,
by Messrs. Scott & Nutting, and now belong
ing to the estate of John L. Woodward, was ex
amined some days since by a gentleman repre
senting a Northern company desirous of securing
an extensive factory in the State. Tho visitor
left favorably impressed with tho importance
and value of the situation. The factory and
warehouses, our readers will remember, were
destroyed by Sherman in December, 1864; the
fine grist and saw mills with all the tenements
erected for operatives, remain undisturbed. It
is to be hoped the factory will be re-built, and
the now almost deserted premises again resound
the hum of busy industry.
Just the Tmxo.—We are indebted to friend Zei-
lin over tho way, for a box of Costar s Jtat Exter
minator, and shall proceed at once to exterminate
an uncommonly large, rusty old fellow in the habit
of crawling out every day to our water bucket. By
the wav, in looking over tho label we find it exter
minates ah lriniifi of vermin. But we give that big
rat fail - notice, he had better get up and dust. He
has been a dead head in this office too long aheady,
and we hereby notify him that the free list is en
tirely suspended. There will 6e a funeral from hia
quarters if he don't mind. I ^ '
Sent Back.—Joe Wagner and Henry Gilbert, alias
Bostic, escaped penitentiary convicts, who were ar
rested in this City last week, were sent back to their
work ofi the Selma,'Borne and Dalton Railroad yes
terday morning. Their thieving accomplices who
live here and were arrested about thesamo time,-are
still held in jail. Joe Wagner, the -leader of the
gang, is a moat desperately bad negro, and as he
has so frequently escaped from tho labor he owes
the State os a convict, wo earnestly hope he will re
ceive the closest attention and guard by thoso who
have him employed on the above named road. It is
clear that he does not intend to reform or forsake
his evil ways, and he is, therefore, not entitled to
that leniency and kindness which the, keepers of
prisons often extend to convicts, who properly be
have themselves and manifest feelings of shame
and regret at theirmisdeeds and imprisonment. Joe
has escaped three different times from the peniten
tiary, and instead of taking advantage of his liberty
to secure labor on some plantation, where his crimes
would be forgotten anu where he could make an hon
est living, he returns to the scenes of hia infamous
life and repeats the very acts which sent him to the
penitentiary. What justice or common sense is there
in dealing leniently with such a rascal ?
Another Smoke-house Emptied by Thieves—On
Saturday night last, Dr. Simmon's smoke-house was
emptied of its contents by one or more thieves, and
now we have to chronicle a similar event that hap
pened on Tuesday night last on Dr. Wm. Holt’s
premises in Vineville. Tho thieves relieved Dr.
Holt of nearly all bis meat, together with a lot of
other provisions.
We expressed the hope, recently, that the break
ing up of the nest of thieves, of which Joe Wagner
was the parent bird, would givo our citizens a short
respite from the almost daily depredations made by
■negroes upon their smoke-houses, kitchens, wood-
piles, chicken-coops, etc., but it seems that the hope
was vain, and that the small gang Of thieves whose
arrest we mentioned, were only as a drop in tho
bucket, and their arrest has made no perceptible re
duction in the racks of thieves that bang about the
suburbs of the city. The evil is really becoming in
tolerable, and that man who can suggest some ef
fective mode for suppressing it, as the laws in re
gard to the negro now stand, is and should be ae 1
dared a public benefactor.
United States Marshall and Sheeiff's Sales.
At the regular United States Marshal and Sheriff’s
sale yesterday at the Court-house in this city, the
following sales of real estate were made:
A lot of land lying in Georgetown, Quitman coun
ty, was sold by the U. 8. Marshal to 8. S. Dunlap
for 5110; also, a lot of land in Cuthbert, Randolph
county, to Mr. Hood, for $100; also, a lot of land
and building in Tliomasville, Thomas county, lying
on the comer of Fourth and Broad streets and oc
cupied as a livery stable—sold to Joseph W. Sew
ard for 51500. ’ : ’
Sheriff Martin sold a part of the tract of land
lying in Bibb county, Rutland District, on the Ech-
aconee creek, and now occupied by the family of
Maltimer Minchew, containing 1100 acres, only
400 of which were sold and subject to the widow’s
dower—sold to L. N. Whittle for 6750; also, a piece
of land lying in Vineville, having 134 feet front on
the Forsyth road and running baek 637 feet to Ma
con & Western railroad, with improvements there
on—sold to L. N. Whittle for 61GOO.
Chabity Wuebe it Belongs.—A small but willing
contributor to the demands of the poor and needy
in our midst, makes an excellent suggestion, we
think, to the President and the Committee of the
Benevolent Society recently organized in this city,
and that is, for the Committee to furnish all whom
they have found worthy of charitable aid, with cer
tificates of the fact, that grocers and provision deal
ers may know them when they appeal for aid, and
feel that they are not suffering imposters to impose
upon them, as is frequently the case. The gentle
man who requests us to offer this suggestion to the
Benevolent Committee, informs us that he is called
upon daily by parties who represent themselves as
in want and suffering for food, whom he does not
know, and it is to protect the charitably disposed
from imposition that the suggestion is made. Snch
a certificate in the band of an applicant for food
and clothing would be a guaranty that the party
holding it was worthy of assistance, and it would
also check a great deal of imposition upon a charita
ble community by worthless vagabonds who had
rather beg than labor for a living.
Exebcise.—The season is now nearly upon us
when, to enjoy anything like the blessings of health,
we must take a proper degree of out-door exercise.
It is true that Macon can boast of no place of re
port for the young and active, where they may meet
in social concourse either to walk, ride or partici
pate in any of the field sports that are so conduc
ive to tho health of both mind and body; bnt the
fact that Macon has no park or place of public re
sort. should not prevent her citizens from making
an effort to establish one for themselves. With the
sole exception of base ball, what out-door exercise
do the young men of the city have ? Even that is
too violent for many of them, and it is only a game
in which the robust can participate. We want some
place where the young ladies and gentlemen, the
old and young, can all meet and take exercise and
recreation when the business duties of the day are
laid aside.
Snch is the intimate relation between the body
and mind that it is impossible to do any good to
either unless the actions of both are kept in harmo
ny. This truth is well demonstrated by the utter
uselessness of all physical exercise for health’s
sake, unless accompanied by a wholesome mental
activity. Let anyone, while depressed in mind,
test his muscular power, and he will soon find how
little able and disposed he is to use it. On the oth
er hand, if he exerts his physical strength when un
der the animating influence of pleasurable emotions,
he is scarcely conscious of the effort. If physical
exercise is persisted in with tho indisposition and
incapacity for it that come from mental depression,
the result is an excessive prostration, which is, of
course, injurious to tho health of the body. On the
the contrary, this exertion of the muscular force,
stimulated and supported by a cheerful mind, can
be continued almost indefinitely, with the effect of
giving increased vigor to the whole human system.
All plans of exercise should be based upon a re
gard to the harmonious action of mind and body.
The solitary “constitutional” walk, as it is called,
taken for health’s sake, is of no benefit for it can
bo seldom varied, and does not supply diversion of
the mind, which continues to fret itself and weary
the body. Horseback exercise is much superior,
for the reason that in tho management of tho beast
there is necessarily a constant' call upon tho atten
tion which keep tho mental faculties occupied, and
thus relieves them of all depressing and exhausting
influences. Bnt to tho clerk or business man who
labors for a salary, this kind of exercise is too ex
pensive, and it is rarely within reach of amajority of
ladies living in a city.
Those sports requiring physical effort and tlio
open air are excellent for health, as they occupy the
mind pleasantly at the same time that they exercise
the body; and if we had, in the suburbs of our
beautiful city, some place where they could he par
ticipated in by young ladies and gentlemen, it would
be a rich blessing to the rising generation, and sup
press, to a great extent, tho evil influences which
beset the paths of those who, having leisure hours,
know not where to go or how to spend them.

The Monroe Libbaby.—Wo were most agreeably
surprised yesterday morning, when visiting the li
brary room at, the City, Hall, to notice the many ac
cessions that have beep made to it within the past
week. Contributions are being made almost daily,
and we learned that eleven boxes of books are now
on tho way from Washington City for this Library.
Most of the books now in hand are very valuable, in
addition to other valuablo publications in the way of
Georgia papers and pamphlets. There is also a
large amount of interesting manuscript, dating back
to Hie earliest days of the State, on hand, and which,
when tho book-casing is completed, will be conven
iently arranged for reference and examination.
Counterfeit Halves.—This market is becoming
perfectly flooded with counterfeit fractional curren
cy—particularly of the fifty cents denomination.
We believe that somebody in the city is shoving this
spurious scrip, as we . have seen several bills that
were, apparently, but a few days old. ' Alittle vigi
lance might detect the villainy and suppress the
evil.
bnt it has been continued OTer to tho third week of
this month, on account of the indisposition of Judge
Cole. At that time a final decision will bo made
■frith tho right of appeal to tho Supreme Court.
' It may not be uninterresting to the public to bo
advised of the main facts in this case and tho obj ects
which are sought to be obtained by recourse to this
extraordinary remedy of the law. At the close of
the late war, and during the session of the Legisla
ture of 1866, the Macon and Brunswick Bailroad
Company invoked the aid of tho State in the com
pletion of their road. Their bill for this purpose al
leged that fifty miles of the road from Macon had
been completed and was thoroughly equipped, and
that daily trains were running thereon, and that
seventy miles additional had been graded and were
ready for the superstructure ; but that by reason'of
the financial embarrassments resulting from the
late war, the stock holders of the road were unable
to complete this great work, so beneficial to the ag
ricultural,commercial and manufacturing interests of
the State.”
The bill passed by a large majority, bnt Governor
Jenkins, who always watched with a most jealous
eye every interest of the State, hesitated for some
time to approve it. Finally a resolution was adopted
by the Legislature, in conformity with the wishes of
tho Governor, providing that the bonds to he en
dorsed by the State should not be negotiated by the
Company at a greater rate of discount than ten per
cent, on the dollar.
It was alleged in the bill of the complainants, viz.,
John L. Mnstian and others, as citizms and tax
payers, that the Directors of the Bailroad in the
recent financial arrangement which they had made
with Messrs. Dabney, Morgan & Co., of New York
and London, by which a sufficient amount of money
had been realized upon the credit of the State by its
endorsement of tho bonds of the Company for the
completion of the entire line of road; that the
bonds so transferred had been negotiated at a greater'
rate of discount than ten per cent., and that in
common parlance, the taxpayers of the State were
in danger of being injured thereby, and that the
credit of the State was likely to be impaired.
It appeared by the answer of tho Bailroad, that
the allegations in the bill of complainants were un
true ; that tho bonds of tho Company endorsed by
the State, had not been negotiated at a greater rate
of discount than ten per cent., and that the Compa
ny had in no wise violated the terms of its contract
with the State, as set forth in the act referred to,
This answer swore off all of the equity contained in
the bill as we understand it, and hence we predict
that Judge Cole will dissolve the injunction and al
low tills great work of internal improvement to go
on. As General Toombs facetiously, but most
justly remarked in his argument, “It is better
that an additional tax of about 37% cents per an-
uum upon John L. Mnstian and his heirs forever
should be imposed, than on that account a work of
great importance and benefit to the people of the
State should be impeded.
The Directors of this Company have acted in
good faith to the State, as will appear from the ex
amination and scrutiny which the Legislature has
given, very recently, to their conduct, by which they
were declared to have used the bonds only in man
ner and form as prescribed by the terms of the act.
The completion of this road is a fixed fact. Tho
work is in the hands of reliable and competent men
and the credit of the State will net suffer in their
keeping
Pen Points fob Sunday.—It is better to tell peo
ple that you disagree with them than to accuse them
of fibbing. The former has all the force of the lat
ter, and places you in an easier fix if you find your
self mistaken. The best commanders always keep
their rear well open in case it is necessary to make
a retreat; and retreats are sometimes victories.
This is especially so when you find the woman your
heart has been panting for isn't what your fancy
painted; hut, maybe, her own paint, and an abom
inable daub at that.
Merit will generally make its way into notice at
some time or another. Like the cork put into the
water, it is sure to find the surface. Those who
are conscious of merit—and most of us have a liltle
or so of some sort—should be patient, watchful,
eager. When the favored opportunity comes, then
push ahead and np. The principle is as good with
the man who draws a hand-cart as he who draws de
signs in art.
Laughter is a good thing. It has credit for add
ing length to the days of man. This credit is due.
Laughter does a good thing for the species. Men
are better for it; ditto women. We don’t like
a person who never langhs; we do like one who
does laugh. The chances are that the latter will be
ten times as good as the former. The chap that
don’t laugh—how can you trust him? He may be
a saint but he is a dark and suspicions one. Be
sides, laughter is atonic, and everybody needs some
thing of this sort. Moral: cotton to laughers; turn
yonr back severely on those who never open their
mouth, except to utter a melancholic moan,
drivel a tomb-like warning.
Husbands are often appendages to. instead of
companions of their wives. Sometimes the arrange
ment is reversed. 1 In either case, the other party
is a fool, and this one a monster. Husbands and
wives should be equal—not six and three, or six and
a cypher, or worse.
Be sure and have the heart right. All else is sure
to come right, including the head. There is never
a weak head attached to a good and strong heart,
The thing is impossible. As well expect a white face
on a black body. Nature doesn’t make ’em that
way. The main thing is the heart It is the central
part. That correct, everything iB correct Love
does not change the matter. It is simply an ex
change—one good thing for another of the same
sort. People’s hearts are often perverted, shriveled

Goodness is not always a possession so much of
our own getting and earning as of inheritance. Fa
ther, grand ditto, or even double ditto, may he really
entitled to the credits which prompts us to generos
ity, kindness, humanity. We should he careful of
boasting over these things. Your contribution of
five dollars to supply Timbuctoo Indians with tracts
printed in a language they do not comprehend, and
their little ones with the Surepop Soothing Syrup,
may possibly be the act of an ancestor ten genera
tions off. You are merely acting as an htunhlo
agent in the matter.
The assertion often made that women are more
patient than men, will bear a glance to ascertain its
truth or not. It will bo found this wise: Some wo
men have an immense if not marvelous amount of
patience, and some have—none, or next to ft. Men
of patience are to be found almost everywhere, and
the number, wo opine, will be found more excessive
than in the opposite sox. Will this be called ungal
lant ? Our reply interrogatively is: Is it not true?
But then it may be that men often owe this virtue
to their natural obstinacy. This, of course, vitiates
the lustre of the virtue, but it it doesn’t destroy the
fact.
Children are qualified blessings; bnt whether
wholly or only partially so, they are necessary.
What sort of a plight should wo reach in a century
or so without them " Pitiable, no doubt. Then let
us be kind to tho young folks. Let us recollect that
we were once such, and likely enough were just as
noisy, rollicking, nonsensical, churlish as any wo see
about us, and whom we are apt to censnrea3 a nuis
ance. Children are properly never a nuisance,
though sometimes, as in case of a young gentle
man and lady who like to be alone, they approach
that style. The worst of children at such times is,
they blab any little tokens of familiarity and affec
tion which they observe. “Pa, I sec Mr. Ferguson
kiss Aunt Mary lots in tho parlor - ;” or “Aunt Mary
had her arm around Mr. Ferguson’s neck,” and kin
dred expressions, though true enough, are not very
pleasant to be noised abroad by stentorian longs.
Slightly a nuisance then, possibly,-but rarely other
wise.
What are called “flashes of wit” are far less com
mon than is supposed. Sheridan was regarded as
one of the most brilliant wits of his time, hut he
labored like a dray-borso to dig, fetch and pound out
ceedcd in arresting a notoriously bad negro and an
escaped penitentiary convict, named Bob Wagner,
upon whose track the police have been for several
weeks. Bob had several accomplices in the differ
ent acts of villainy he has, of late, been perpetra
ting in this community, and after his arrest they
were all bagged, and a largo quantity of stolen
goods found in their possession arid recovered. The
negroes arrested are named Henry Bostic, also a
penitentiary convict, Sam. Taylor, Bob. Jones,and
Susan Jones. This is the gang wiio are responsible
for the numerous thefts, burglaries and robberies
which have been tho order of the day about Macon
for weeks past. They had a regular rendezvous in
the snbnrbs of the city beyond Tatnall Square where,
after tho arrest of Bob. Wagner, the police found a
large lot of plunder, consisting of two fine gold
watches and other articles stolen from Mr. W. E.
Jones one night last week, when the rascals having
made a fire near his house gavo tho alarm, and
whilst Mr. Jones was engaged in putting ont the
fire they entered his dwelling and robbed it of what
they could catch np in a hurny and make off with.
A largo lot of bacon, lard, flour, meal, trace chains,
axes, hatchets, crow-bars, a lot of burglar’s tools,
etc., was also found concealed on the premises,
and which tho rogues had picked up about town from
time to time as opportunity offered.
Bob. Wagner, tho principal of all this rascality,
and the headman of the gang, is anotoriovs villain,
and has escaped three different times from the pen
itentiary. He was put to work on a railroad and the
very first chance he got, away he would go and re
turn to this city. We think this gamo of Bob’s is
now about played out, and he will, or should be,
henceforth worked within the walla of the peniten-
tiaiy, and his whole covey of thieves should keep
him company.
We hope the breaking np of this nest of thieves
will put a stop for awhile to the wholesale and re
tail stealing that has been going on around this town
for weeks.
Bird Killing.—Several citizens living on College
Hill and elsewhere in the suburbs of the city, are
uttering much complaint in regard to what seems to
he a mania just now among the hoys—both white
and black—to kill off all the birds. They allow none
to escape which thoy can manage to shoot. A gen
tleman livisg on College Hill informs us that boyB
are shooting on and around his premises every day,
and are killing mocking-birds, wrens and red birds
—all sweet songsters—and which no one wonld kill
but from a mischievous disposition to shoot every
thing he dare to. It is, indeed, a pity, not to say
a shame and an outrage, that boys who ought to bo
at school or learning a trade, should stroll about the
commons and residences of citizens, killing or driv
ing away the sweet songsters of our groves and
shape trees. And, not only do they kill these harmless
and beautiful birds, but they endanger the lives of
persons who are passing about their homes and are
unmindful of the fact, that some little urchin lurks
about the premises, with a loaded gun, ready to fire
at a bird wherever it may perch itself, on the fence
or on a rose bush.
But enough of the evil—now as to the mode of
suppressing it. We suggest to citizens as the best
and most effectual mode, the instant arrest of all
such customers as may be found on or near their
premises with a gun, and turn them over to the au
thorities to be punished for trespass. Let it cost
them or their parents five or ten dollars every time
they are caught shootiDg around your homes, and
the evil will soon disappear.
Contracts.—Thoso colored persons about the city
who are in tho habit of contracting for labor for a
certain length of time with one party, and before
their time expires quit work and contract with some
one else merely because that some one else offers
them a dollar or two more per month than they aro
receiving, had better stop snch conduct, as it is
wrong, disreputable and illegal, and may subject
them to fine and imprisonment whenever the party
who m they have wronged seeks redress in the courts.
The law holds as almost sacred tho obligations of
contracts, and will not allow them to be violated
with impunity. If you have voluntarily made a bad
contract, it is nothing more than your misfortune,
and does not, in the least, justify you in violating
it. Honor demands that you should faithfully and
manfully stand up to what you have promised. But
when, as is frequently the case, you make a contract
to work at a certain price, and it is satisfactory un
til you find out that you can make a little more by
“jumping” it, it is infamous to do so, and the law
will not tolerate it. Better be a little guarded on
this point, as we have heard several gentlemen re
cently, express their determination to prosecute
those freedmen who act in such badfaith.
Weekly Review of the Market,
' OFFICE DAILY TELEGRAPH, V
March 3—Evening, 1863.]
General Remarks.—Nothing has transpired during
the past week to materially alter the condition of
the general trade of the city. Country merchants
and planters have not Come forward as freely to
lay in their stocks and supplies as was desirable,
but numerous orders have boen received from the
southern and southwestern portions of the State,
and theso have kept parties engaged in the whole
sale and jobbing trade generally busy.
The money market exhibits unabated ease, cur
rency is abundant, and the demand for accommo
dation on tho part of first-class borrowers is rather
limited, on account of the unsettled and drooping
condition of the cotton market. We give below
carefully revised quotations: '

A Good Ad Interim Home can he found at our
Byington’s Hotel. The best of accommodations,
the best the market affords, 'and every attention
paid to guests. We notice the house is always full
of guests, which is its best recommendation. It i3
very convenient to our general passenger depot,
which is exactly what strangers coming to the city
most do require in looking up a place to stop. Thera
is no better hotel in the South. We ought to say,
also, that the house has lately been improved
throughout.
We heard the remark yesterday that but few, if
any, Maconites ever get fat. The explanation is.
that they never rest long enough for the oleaginous
material to gather in corention around the bones.
But they have nerve, and don’t care for mere lug
gage. We should add that the gentleman who made
the remark has no acquaintances in this office.
Buy Good Paints.—This is very important, if
yon want yonr building to last and to look well If
yon wonld do this, go to our drug men on Cherry
street, L. W. Hunt & Co., who are agents for one of
tho largest paint manufactories in this country, and
sell their lead at factory prices, adding the freight
See their advertisement in another column and give

ic, and for tho past twenty years engaged in the man
ufacturing of tin ware in Macon, he offers to deal
ers great inducements. Send for price list.
Harris, Clay & Co. have just received a large lot

Mayor’s Court.—Two negroes, a man and wo
man, were up yesterday morning on a charge of
stealing. As the testimony failed to convict them
they were discharged. We kindly, generously, chari
tably suppress their names, for to mention them in
connection with so grave a charge would tend to dim
the lustre of their reputation for honesty. Now go,
Miss Susan, and henceforth live above suspicion.
, Tbe Pork Crop.
Correspondent of the Savannah Republican
has the following:
Mr. Editor:—In your issue of Saturday an
article is copied upon pork packing, from tho
monthy reportof theDepatrmentof Agriculture,
giving figures showing the number of hogspacked
in seven principal States, the present and past
year compared, and showing the number to be
less this year than the last This report is no
doubt a true one, and this and like reports are
made by very many who are traveling in the
Sonth in the employment of bacon packers and
speculators, to keep up tho price ofbacon until
Western speculators can unload.
It is true that a less number of hogs were
packed this last year in packinghouses, or win
ter slaughtering houses,but when the large num
ber are taken into account that are slaughtered
and packed in ice houses, which is . called ice
cured meat, statistics show the number of ani
mals to bo larger instead of smaller. All of tho
Northern cities and many of the towns conduct
this ice packing and curing business on a large
scale. This business has been increasing from
year to year, and pork is packed in all of our
large cities now in July and August We- are
using this meat in Georgia the year round.
We hope our farmers, who have large quanti
ties to buy, will not be frightened into paying
„ J present high prices for a year’s supply’until at
his bright things.' No flash there—but hard, solid least Western speculators have held their enor-
l&bor. Wit isn't picked off the leaves of-roses in
summer, nor is it gathered on the glittering jewels
in the shop windows.
Yesterday was an extremely dull day in business
circles for the season, but it was owing mostly to the
inclemency of the. weather. The clouds hung low
and heavy all day, and at intervals let fall right -will only buy as they are required to, from
mous stock up to the summer months. For
one, I think there is an ample stock of bacon
made, and I know that animals are now growing
and fattening that will be offered in our markets
in good cured bacon in August and September
of this year. There is no good reason for bacon
selling at the price it does; it should be five or
six cents lower, and it will be lower if .farmers

The past week has disclosed some marked alter
ations in the movement of the.leading staple. On
one or two days it showed a rapid recovery of the
net decline at which the market closed on Wednes
day last,but since Friday prices have steadily tended
downward and the gain of Tuesday of last week has
been almost wholly lost This fluctuation is exclu
sively attributable to the variations in the Liverpool
and New York cotton markets, and to tho erratic
condition of gold and foreign exchange. The offer
ing supplies here have been of anunusuallyrestricted
character for the past week, as most factors stren
uously resisted all applications for concessions, and
kept their samples covered, while several of our
largest buyera have remained entirely passive, the
asking prices being uniformly above their limits.
The market to-day was quiet, and tho offering stock
being light transactions were very limited. We

GROCERIES AND PROVISIONS.
Business in this lino has been only moderate dur
ing the past week and has been confined mostly to
the filling of orders. Prices are scarcely so high or
firm as they were a fortnight ago, and we lower tho
price of several of the leading articles.
Com is in fair demand at 110 for any quantity
under 100 bushels, hut by taking more than that
amount it can be had at 1 07@108 per bushel.
Bacon is a little lower and weaker than it has
been for a month past, with only a moderate de
mand. Flonr is quiet at quoted rates. Sugar and
molasses are active with an advancing tendency.
Other articles unchanged.
Fertlizees—Continue active and in good demand
and tho trade this season has been unprecedentedly
heavy. We give below the names of a few fertili
zers and tho price. We should remark, however,
that there are a great variety of manures in market
and at various prices, but those quoted will give the

Caltiaya Bark.—It i* said that Meiers, ‘
Drake & Co., (proprietors of the Plxxtatios Bit
ters,) are the largest importers of Calisaya Bark in
this eoantry, and that, with the exception of an oc
casional sale, ail they import is used in the eon-
pounding of their celebrated Plantation Biytxzs—
to which they undoubtedly are indebted for their
wonderful health-restoring properties. Aa a Tonic-
end Appetizer they are not surpassed, and we cheer
fully recommend them. All first-class Druggists keep-
them for sale. - \
