■UMBIfib - r —jp =!'• « the telegraph. 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- “* ia d- Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad 7»psny to refuse that negress admission to <teladies’car? . *• C.

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 Brunswick Railroad Case.—The argument ■ Arrest of a Gang of Negro Thieves—Heavy FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, upon tho motion to dissolve the injunction in tho I Haul of Stolen Goods.—On Thursday night last. aboveeasewasnotcondndedonSaturdayaftemoon, [OfficersHurley,Foster, Avant and Kimbrew, suo- 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 cold, motionless, and veiy many, it would seem, have none at all. In the first place, have a heart; then have it in the right place—after that you will be all right 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: ' KXCHAKQK OH HEW YORE. Burin? " llin: ~Vc@bi discount ...._..54prem 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 them a call before purchasing paints, or anything else in their line. Tin Wabe Manufactory.—Wo take pleasure in calling the attention of wholesale buyers to the ad vertisement of B. A. Wise. Being a practical mechan 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 of that Kerosene Oil which has given universal sat isfaction. Also, Sands’. Hurley’s, Bull’s, Ayer’s and Dr. W. H. Tutt’s Sarsaparilla. Try them, and you willgetyour goods at the lowest prices. A small lot of Hancock Dickson Cotton Seed. 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 Selling.. UKITKD STATES CURRENCY—LOANS.

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.
