Save Your Ammunition—Yo Congres
sional Election.
Wo notice the press continues to be exercised
about candidates for Congress and an election
next May—but wherefore? Out bono? The
bill bringing on the election in May doubtless
slumbers in the pocket of the Governor—and
he is in Washington. There is no probability
that it will be approved, and where, then, the
use of talking about an election? We under
stand that the nominee from this district, CoL
Lawson, considers that his nomination expired
fairly by limitation some time ago. Let ns at
tend to the crops and give elections the go-by
till we are called to make them.
Railway Politicians.
The New York Times of the 23d is out in a
heavy indictment against the Erie railroad as a
political power, and charges that a combination
of the Central, Harlem, Hudson River and Erie
elected the Democratic ticket in New York last
fall, and can do just what they will if left to car
ry ont their schemes. The Times does not
denounce the Pennsylvania Central for doing
the same thing in behalf of the Radicals in the
KeyBtone State, nor the grand combination of
bondholders for electing Gen. Grant Money
will shape politics for a good long time till
something happens to stir np and combine the
great unwashed, and then capital becomes the
prey instead of the master. How long before
the big bine bottles of capital will find them
selves in the spiders web ?
Magazines.
The Eclectic for April was received yester
day. It is embellished with a beautiful steel
portrait of Rosa Bonheur, and filled with choice
cullings from the latest foreign reviews. Pel-
Ion, 103 Fulton street, New York.
The Riverside Magazine for Young People
is much the best of its kind in America—Hurd
& Houghton, New York, and to be had of Havens
& Brown, Macon and Eufaula.
An Interregnum in Virginia.
The wheels of government in the Old Domin
ion are clogged by suddenly turning out all
civil officers who cannot take the iron-clad. By
a military order they all became functus officio
on the 22d. On the 23d Gen. Stoneman issued
another order making some four or five hun
dred appointments, but some time must elapse
before the lists can be filled up.
Order in Cuba.
There is n terrible fuss in Cuba, but if they
will send over three or four of the old Confed
erate Georgia regiments, with Gen. Gordon at
their head, they will cleanse things out and re
store qui»t in a month.
The Eight Horn Law. — The squabbles
among the Northern workmen abont the eight
hour law were redieulous enough, but have been
check-mated by the grocers, who insist that six
pints of molasses shall go to the gallon at full
price. The eight hour chaps who demand full
price for short measure of labor are dumb
founded at the impudence of the grocers in
running on their schedule; but they are stumped
on the argument The eight hour law seems to
have been suggested by the Georgia Legislature
to prevent a rise in the price of salt It has for
its basis the very practical idea that values can
bo established and regulated by legislation.
Commlssioner op Foreign Immigration.—Mr.
John B. Jeup, hitherto leading editor of the
Volksfreund, the German Democratic paper of
Cincinnati, has sold out his interest in that es
tablishment to the partners, and it is said that
be will remove to Atlanta, to act as the Com
missioner of Foreign Immigration for this State.
Mr. Victor Shilly will be the future manager of
the Volksfreund.
A Mammoth Ox.—The Marietta Journal says
on Tuesday last there was on exhibition in that
city the largest ox, said to be, in America. He
measnred eleven feet round the body, thirteen
feet long, and his height eighteen hands, weighs
4,545 pounds, and only six years of age. This
monster-animal is of the Durham breed and was
raised in Kentucky.
Gold in Tennessee.—Gold has recently been
discovered in Hawkins county, Tenn., about
eleven miles east of Rogersville, on the south
side of the Holston river. The specimens ex
hibited are said to he of the richest quality,
surpassing the celebrated mines of California.
A company of energetic gentlemen, possessed
of sufficient capital, have the matter in charge,
and will fully develop the capacity of the mines.
Where the Specie Goes.—It seems that John
Chinaman is getting all ^nr gold and silver.
Every steamer leaving Snn Francisco takes ont
hundreds of thousands. The last one carried
$823,000. This has been going on for many
years. Specie goes to China from all parts of
the world, hut nover returns. It was so with
silver before the finding of gold in California,
and now gold goes the same course.
There is a row among the Washington Radi
cals over the money realized by the inaugura
tion ball—some $20,000. The committee origi
nally agreed to di-ride the profits with Gray, the
caterer for the occasion, but the amount is so
large they refuse a division, and a law suit is
probable. . ’■ '
Gen. Grant’s administration is making a deep
dent in the party. Tho Springfield Republican
says: “It would be useless to deny that the
Presidential appointments are made and can
vassed at Washington in a manner that does not
strengthen tho new administration in tho hearts
of the people.”
Southern Chair Factories.—The Nashville
papers note at length the opening, or rather chris
tening of a Chair Factory there the other day.
It proposes to employ five hundred hands. This
reminds ns that there is an excellent Factory of
this kind at Decatnr, Georgia, the work of
which is in every dwelling in the State.
Mayor or Columbus.-—Col. A. R. Lamar, of
the Son, was nominated for Mayor of Colum
bus, at a Democratic Convention on Wednes
day night—-receiving 11C out of 221 votes the
minority being scattered among six other can
didates. __
New York Dry Goods Market.—Tho follow
ing was the Btate of the drygoods market in
New York on the 24th inst.: Dry goods—all
classes of goods are selling at low and unprofit
able rates. Adriandoc prints are down to 8]c.
Brown cottons—Massachusetts B124. No other
Fine Times fob Kid Slippers.—A dispatch
from St. Johns, in New Brans wick, on Tuesday,
says that snow was six feet deep on a level, and
the people were all quitting the low lands in ap
prehension of a destructive flood.
Arrival of Immigrants.—The Marietta Jour-'
uni of Friday says on last Sabbath, twenty or
twenty-five immigrants, men, women and chil
dren, arri ved in Marietta, from Missouri. They
wQl locate in Milton county.
H. M. Burner’s card to the colored people is
published sjfkin that they may all have an op
portunity to see it. Let them heed.
Tax ice in tho Missouri River is moving and
the prospects of an 'early opening of navigation
is very ,good.
Butler on Georgia.
Butler took up the t case of Georgia in the
House last Monday, and delivered himself in
form and maimer following, to-wit:
“Butler urged that there were three States in
an unreconstructed condition, where a man’s life
is not safe—where a clergyman is shot down as
he performs the marriage sacrament, and where
men are taken ont of jail and hanged and shot.
We are paid by the year, and shoald not go
home'now and leave the country in that condi
tion.
“Butler agreed in the matter of Georgia.
Congress had made haste slowly, hut this was a
question of life and death to the Republicans—
the Union men of the South. Who would not
say an adjournment of Congress now would be
a desertion of them, a turning of them over to
their enemies ? Besides, if Congress adjourn
now, the Senate would remain in session as last
Spring, and the effect was, no sooner had the
House its back turned than Alaska was thrust
on the country. He thought, therefore, under
the circumstances, it was the duty of the House
to remain in session.”
Georgia, after all, is probably in a quieter
condition than almost any Stato of tho Union,
and nearly all tho disturbances which occur are
directly traceable to a violation of the plain and
natural conditions of good order, in the sup
posed interests of Radicals and Radicalism.
Thus, in one of the cases cited by Butler to
give point to the allegations against Georgia, a
prominent Radical politician, from a place of
concealment, shoots out the brains of a village
editor while walking the streets in tho broad
light of day, in retaliation for a personal arti
cle ; and the people, in a phrenzy of excite
ment, take the assassin out and shoot him. It
is a pity that tho law was not allowed to take its
course in this case: but who can say that tho
demands of natural justice have been outraged
in this transaction? And in the other case—
shooting down a clergyman while performing
tho marriage ceremony—the crime had no bet
ter'foundation than the mistake of a newspaper.
The shooting, as- all know, was merely acci
dental
But as to other crimes that Butler does not
cite—tho robberies, rapes and murders by blacks
upon whites and persons of their own color
which now make np almost the'snm total of vio
lation of the peace in Georgia, they are due to
the bad teachings and pernicious legislation of
the Radicals and of Congress, and are the re
sults, direct and indirect, of the efforts to radi
calize the State, by turning society topsy turvy
and putting ignorance and vice to the woifb of
governing and controlling the popular intelli
gence and virtue.
Patriotic and intelligent law-givers respect, as
far as they can, even the popular prejudices;
and when they see it to be duty and policy to
combat these, they accept the plain and inevita
ble deduction—that they are placed at the man
ifest disadvantage of the application of force to
supply what shall be lacking in the voluntary
co-operation of the people. But, in the case of
Georgia and the South, the Radicals run not
only counter to all which they may be excused
for holding to be mere prejudice, but they also
run counter to what they must know to be com
mon sense and sound policy. It is impossible
for any man in his senses to believe that the
Congressional legislation for the South has its
main foundation in a desire to establish good
government in this section, or to subserve the
substantial interests of the people. On the con
trary, every man knows that these ends are to
be sacrificed, more or less, to the overruling pur
pose to Radicalize the South and compel it to
bring grist to the so-called Republican mill.
Consequently, when Butler and others of his
sort, talk about more legislation of the same
sort in order to restore order in Georgia, they
are not half as honest as old Sangrado was when
he cried out for more bleeding and more warm
water to save his sinking patients. He had his
theory and honestly believed it. He was con
vinced that all diseases would yield Ip phleboto
my and warm water, and if a little of that would
not do, a great deal would. But we have too
much respect for the intellectual capacity of But
ler and his Radical colleagues in Congress to sup
pose they seriously believe any good governmen
tal object is to be secured in the South by ne
gro office-holding and negro legislation. That
is not what they want it for, and they have too
much common sense to suppose such an end can
be accomplished by such instrumentalities. In
deed, Butler himself, who is not generally very
cantions about accuracy, does not put the case
in that-light He wants more of this kind of
legislation for the personally security of “ the
Republicans.” Bnt this is scarcely more sensi
ble, because nobody’s security is advanced by
increasing the public animosity against him and
the number of his enemies.
The telegrams of yesterday gave us a new
Georgia bill and most probably it will become
law. It will give us the benefit of another ses
sion of the Legislature—the original semi-ethe-
opian affair, at a cost perhaps of a few hundred
thousand more; and it will probably enlighten
the Savannah Republican on a point which it
seems unable to comprehend—that is, how the
fifteenth amendment may bo passed in Georgia.
Unsuccessful .Attempts to Elect a Sheriff
in Wilkinson.—'iffie Atlanta Constitution says;
In November last an election for Sheriff was or
dered in Wilkinson county. The Democratic
candidate was elected by a small majority. The
Radical Ordinary of that county decided the
election null and void on account of some al
leged informality, and ordered another election
in December. The same result attended the
second race. A third election was ordered in
January, and the Democratic candidate elected
by over two hundred majority. The returns
were sent to Gov. Bullock, who wrote to the
successful candidate, requiring him to answer
several interrogatories in regard to loyalty, etc.
They were answered satisfactorily, proving by
the reconstruction acts and acts supplemental
thereto, that he was qualified, but still no com
mission has made its appearance.
A Set of Sleepy Africans.—A curious dis
ease prevails on the west coast of Africa, espe
cially on the Gaboon, which consists in an ir-
resistable inclination to sleep. No pain seems
to be experienced, but the patient stumbles
readily; his step is tottering; sense of feeling
seems to be wanting, and objects used as a sup
port are grasped very unsteadily. The con
sciousness does not seem to be diminished, and
the breathing and digestion are normal. When
the patient is awaked, he returns again into a
deep sleep in a very short time. Tho disease
does not yield to any remedies, and generally
ends in death. Its precise character has not
yet been ascertained with certainty. -
The Fate of Paraguay.—The Brazilians
are establishing a Provisional Government at
Acuncion, but are really preparing to take
possession of the whole country. They have
not yet captured Lopez, and it is hoped that he
will come back upon the interlopers and drive
them out.of the country. He is said to-have
an army of five thousand men in the mountains,
and may at any time make a decent upon tho
invaders of the soil of the heroic little Re
public. ■ Lai!,.'j -.tb ' LX - I
Neutrality Gone to *the Dogs.—Numerous
armed expeditions from the United States have
landed in Cuba. This is done for the purpose
of displaying the consoientious respect of the
Government for our neutrality obligations, and
of strengthening the moral force of Gen. Grant’s
demands on the British for damages accruing
from the violations of neutrality, which resulted
in the Alabama depredations.
Get out Your Thin Coats.—Summer heat
yesterday afternoon. Mercury at 75.
From Putnam County.
Upon a recent visit to Putnam we found the
Superior Court in session, his Honor, Judge
P. B. Robinson, presiding, and Fleming Jordan,
Solicitor, in attendance. These officers, as far
as we had an opportunity of observing, dis
charge their trusts energetically and satisfacto
rily to the public. The Judge’s great idea is to
clear the dockets of old rubbish in the way of
cases of long standing, and then, if the present
good state of affairs continues, there will be but
little hereafter arising to tako np their time.
Good feeling prevails among the people of the
county, and they are the same hospitable, kind
citizens they have always been. But little crime
is committed. The relations between whites and
blacks are good. The whites are all deeply in
terested in their agricultural operations and are
experimenting largely in fertilizers, and the
blacks are laboring welL Com crops are plant
ed and tho farms are better prepared for the
cotton crop than they have been for years. The
season for such work has been favorable.
The community, in general, aro in a better
condition than they have been since the war.
A spirit of improvement prevails; houses are
being repaired and repainted, (by the way, good
faithful mechanics can find work there.) Among
other improvements in the village of Eatonton,
we observed that Caph C. S. Credille had re
paired an old store-house of many years stand
ing, and now has a nice place of business. The
merchants of the village do not complain, and
we hope are doing well. The cash system of
the present makes business much better than
formerly in its results.
From all indications there will be as many
competitors for ^premiums at the Agricultural
Fair next fall, from Putnam as from any county
in tho State. We wish them all success. With
a few more years of material prosperity the good
old county will be a garden spot in onr State.
We cannot close without thanking our friends
not so much for the large amount of money they
contribute to the support of an independent
press, like ours, devoted to Georgia and Geor
gia interests, as for their unqualified endorse
ment of the paper and their praises of the same.
Edmund Sparkler was wont to say on all occa
sions of Fanny Dorrit, “She had no bigod non
sense about her.” This seems to be the idea of
the good people of Putnam as to the Telegraph.
One friend, all of whose neighbors were already
subscribers to tho Weekly, said he was tired of
reading other persons’ papers, and felt it was
his duty to subscribe himself. This should be
a lesson to those who at many points hugely
enjoy reading our paper, and thereby, as sub
scribers complain to us, read their paper until
there is not much left of it when it reaches
them. Now, gentlemen, quit this sort of busi
ness ; pay for one yourself—wo will guarantee
you the worth of your money.
Postmasters, remember a newspaper is pri
vate property. You should not loan it to any
and every body. If any one wantsto read it
let them subscribe through you, and it will be
all right.
From China*
The following came to hand yesterday:
Shanghia, China, January 12, 18(50.
Editors Macon Telegraph—Dear Sms: En
closed I forward you a number of cocoons,which
I judge, from your description, to be sim
ilar to those submitted to you recently by
Mr. F. S. Johnson, of Jones county, Ga. They
are very common in this part of China, and
there is scarcely a tree of any discription at
Shanghai that is not to a great extent covered
by them. You will notice that the cocoon is
open at either end, and not as those you men
tioned, perforated at the time the worm makes
its escape.
The worm is chiefly found on rose bushes,
but in the latter part of the summer, when it
begins to spin, travels into every accessible
place, hence yon will see among these specimens
one pludked from an arbor vitas enclosed in the
leaves of the willow. They even clamber upon
houses, and it is not till late in the fall that
they ultimately fix themselves.
They are often (I might say always) gathered
by the Chinese and sold to tho keepers of avia
ries.
If Southern ingenuity should discover any
means of rendering the silk of the cocoon use
ful I have no doubt but that China can readily
furnish you with any quanty of the raw mate
rial.
Bfelieving the enclosed to bo the same os those
you spoke of I shall not attempt to give' you
further particulars, but leave you to satisfy
yourselves by investigation, etc. Yours truly,
Young J. Allen,
Sessionary from Georgia.
P. S. The cocoons are enclosed in some Chi
nese newspapers forwarded herewith, of which
I am editor. By the way, how would you like
to exchange ? The Chinese are greatly opposed
to telegraphs but I suppose their FungShui
would hardly object to the Macon Telegraph.
Wo will exchange with pleasure. The papers
and cocoons are not yet received. We shall
look for them with some anxiety.—Eds.
No Place Like Home.—The Columbus Sun is
told, directly after the war, a IaTge family, liv
ing near Macon, with some eight thousand dol
lars in specie, went to British Honduras, expect
ing to realize a large fortune. A pretty long
residence in the desired haven of rest, nearly
starved them and exhausted their means. They
could muster sufficient funds to return to
Georgia, which they have done, and are content
to remain in the State the remainder of their
lives.
The cause which has brought Mrs. Stowe's

An “ Outrage" in Atlanta. — The New Era
says :
On Tuesday a woman came to the office of Dr.
E. S. Ray and asked him to go ont and see her
sister who had been shot. He got into his bug
gy and took Dr. Westmoreland with him, and
proceeded to where the mother of the girl, Mrs.
Williams, lived, near the cemetery. They found
the little girl had been shot, the ball entering
■under the right shoulder blade and passing up,
lodging in the shoulder, nenr tho base of the
neck, from whence it was cut ont. The girl was
about twelve years old. She said she, with her
little- brother, was in & neighboring wood gath-
eriDg sticks, when a negro man came up and or
dered them off the j premises. The girl‘refused
to go and went on gathering sticks, when the
villain drew a pistol and shot her as'above
stated. ‘ After shooting the child, the’ rascal
made his escape, and h’as.not since been heard

Correspondence of the Macon Daily Telegraph.] j :.
Richmond, Texas, March 17,1869.
This is one of the most backward Springs
ever known in Texas. Here is past the middle
of March, and not one man in ten is through
planting; and when com ought to be worked
over the first time, it is only beginning to show
its head in a few fortunate localities.,
Land was too wet for the plow in winter, and
the spring, thus far, has been entirely too cold
for the favorable germination of the seeds put
in the ground. Add to this the fact that it is the
fewest number of planters that have a sufficient
number of laborers, and you have a pretty fair
picture of the situation here.
Men have in a measure abandoned the folly of
deploring in dolorous strains the great lack of
labor. The little imported labor that has been
tried and tested in this country, has proved a
signal failure, and, in numorous instances, very
expensive. The truth is, men engaged in agri
cultural pursuits will have to redneo Ben Frank
lin’s couplet to practice:
“ He that by the plow would thrive.
Himself must either hold or drivo.”
We are beginning to practice this virtue here;
for whether urged by necessity, or adopted from
choice, labor is honorable, ennobling.
Numbers of men with us, who knew next to
nothing of manual labor from personal exper
ience, are throwing off their coats and taking
hold in good earnest. Such a course is bound
to win success—to conquer it. Compared to
the forced march, the cheerless supper and the
cold bivouac which most men in the South un
derwent not many years ago, the severest
drudgery of the plantation is child’s play; more
holiday sport enlivened by the approving smiles
of those we love. Besides, farm labor, as the
old toper said of cold water when reduced to
the necessity of tasting it for the first time, “is
not such demnition had stuff after all.”
For years past editors, agricultural societies
and even grave legislators have been racking
their brains trying to devise ways and means to
obtain cheap labor. In other words men are
doing their utmost to get others to work, think
ing by this cute “coup d’ ctat,” to flank it them
selves.
It is fashionable in certain circles, within the
past ten years, for men to expatiate on the
beauties of the English Government, and the
captivating advantages of cheap labor. It must
be confessed, however, that most of those who
indulge in these innocent and comforting rhap
sodies are young men whose reading (among
those who read at all) is confined to books-with
yaller kivers.” If cheap labor is the grand
embodiment of “patriotic desire," then the
country in the neighborhood of Liverpool, Man
chester and Leeds ought to be regarded as,tho
Paradise of the world. But is this the case ? A
glance at English statistics proves the reverse.
In the localities mentioned, there are many
lordly mansions, but they are units compared
with the hundreds of wretched hovels where
want, and woe, and despair, revel in demoniac
ee.
To those innocents who are ever prating about
cheap labor, and its attendant beauties, the fa
ble of the boys and frogs is anxiously recom
mended, and if they find any difficulty in mak
ing the application, let them call in the aid of
some friendly school-boy.
An enthusiastic editor in this State says:
what Texas needs and must have, is good,
cheap and reliable labor." Well, when he finds
these three qualities combined, I think it pretty
certain that we shall all hear of it. Whew!
That will be the millennium—when it comes!
Think of it. “Good, cheap, reliable!”
But may heaven hide the picture from my
eyes when labor shall go begging for employ
ment, and honest toil is placed at the mercy of
the ghoul capital! We have a country combin
ing more advantages than any other in the world.
Let us employ ourselves in the development of
these, and in good time, when we show the world
what we are, and what our country is capable of,
the better class of immigrants will flock to our
shores, and we shall be saved the doubtful expe
diency of skimming Europe for its frothy, filthy
scum, or raking it for the debris of its pauper
population, who are uuablo to make a living on
its overstocked, impoverished acres.
Our District Court is in session, and will easi
ly dispose of the dockets in tho two weeks as
signed. The most of the cases are old ones that
have for several sessions been “ lagging super-
flous on the docket.” Few new caseshavo been
returned. Texans are not a litigious people.
Law is a luxury for which they seem to have
little taste; still the practitioners are numerous,
not a few of whom would justly rank as able
lawers at any bar. •
Seeing a complimentary notice of “Terry’s
Texas Rangers,” taken from the Louisville Cou
rier-Journal, going the rounds of tho press, re
minds mo that some of the companies of which
the regiment was composed, were from this
county. I can well believe everything that is
said of their gallantry. I have never seen one of
them that did not bear on his person honorable
marks of service.
Col. Gustave Cook, a son of Judge Nat.' Cook,
of Alabama, who was in command of tho regi
ment at the close of the war, and for a long
time before its close, is a citizen of our town,
and is literally seamed with honorable scars re
ceived in the fierce contests through which he
led his impetuous columns. The Colonel is a
young lawyer of much promise, and if the past
had not already immortalized him, his friends,
who aro legion, would entertain no misgivings
bnt that the future would. The young Colonel
wears his undoubted honors with a modesty as
becoming as his claims to chivalrous bearing are
undisputed. You might be in his company six
months without learning from him that he ever
“set a squadron in the field,” or even knew the
smell of “vilainous saltpetre.”
. We are abont to have a new paper at this
place, to be added to the seventy-three already
published in the State, issued under the impos
ing title of “The South-West.
From the character and ability of its sponsors,
there is every reason to believe it will vindicate
its claims to the high-sounding title inscribed on
its mast head.
Politics engross bnt a small share of public
attention. Few only of the people have seen
the Constitution framed by the Convention late
ly in session at Austin, and fewer still will be
allowed to vote for its ratification or rejection,
as only those who registered under the recon
struction acts will be allowed & voice in themat-
ter. The most of these are unlettered negroes.
But I suppose it will he ratified. Perhaps, un
der the circumstances, it is as well that it should
be, trusting to be able in the future to amend its
objectionable features, unless its active accoucli-
enrs have made it liko tho laws of the Medes and
Persians, unalterable. Par Fois.
Indiana.—Gov. Baker, of Indiana, issues his
proclamation convening the General Assembly
in special session, and summoning the members
thereof to meet in their respective , halls -.of leg
islation at 2 o’clock p: m. of Tuesday, the 8th day
of April. _
The daily evening train out of Washington is
now generally known as the “swearing train,”
from the number of homeward-bound -office
seekers who, not being friends of the Grant
family, and having neglected to contribute to
the gift enterprise, endeavor to relieve their dis-
in&nent and the tedium of the forlorn jour-
“.profuse interchanges of profanity.
“Plant Cotton.”
Under this head Forney's Philadephia Press
of the 23d inst. takes issue with tho common ad-
vioe to the South to “plant oom,” and insists
we should go in for ootton and leave the west
to do the corn-growing. He says:
And now let us see what, under such circum
stances, should be the policy of the South. Ev
erywhere people are found who advocate the
planting of much com, to the exclusion of cot
ton and other staples. This advocacy was prop
er during the war, for the Southern army had to
be supplied with food. It was fitting also dur
ing the first year or two after the war, for an
impoverished people needed food before money.
But last year the question of food was no longer
prominent. It conld be safely trusted to the
instincts of the people. The ability existed to
provide, and the desire also. Money was wanted
to secure additional comforts. It was had, not
by growing' corn, but by planting cotton; or, in
other words, by reassenting to the old compact
of division of labor. If it be said that the South
can grow rich by agriculture alone, we say she
can grow richer by growing cotton as a rule and
making agriculture the exception.
Last year the cotton crop netted the South
8200,000,000. Could she, with the appliances
then in hand, have cleared the same on any or
all of tho cereals ? No one will answer affirma
tively. Can she, with all her facilities of soil and
climate, ever make agriculture really profitable,
in view of the immense start the "West has, and
tiie competition she will ever offer? "We think
not. Well, then, have wo not arrived at a rea
son why the South should make haste to reor
ganize the trinity of labor in the United States ?
At least, let her cotton districts grow cotton, her
sugar districts sugar, and her tobacco districts
tobacco. She will thus avoid all competition.—
She will get triple as much wealth in much less
time. She will increase her self-importance and
the importance of the whole country; for are
not the manufacturers of all Europe at this mo
ment looking anxiously for her decision of the
question? As our national prosperity before
tiie war was incalculably enhanced by a harmo
nious working of all the sections, and as each
section in turn became skillful and necessary to
the other, so it will be again, if proper atten
tion be paid to the simple rules found under the
head of Division of Labor.
Now we ought to he much obliged to the Press
for its interest in the matter; but, nevertheless,
if there is one fact settled by experience beyond
dispute, it is that cotton planting on imported
com and meat is hound to end in ruin. Wo have
seen it thoroughly and extensively tried, and
never knew it to escape bankruptcy for any
length of time. We are forced to buy meat,
but we can producs our own com, and the com
supplies of Georgia are alone worth the whole
cotton product of the State. We require forty-
five millions of bushels of com, which, at one
dollar (less -than the market price), is worth
more than the cotton we produce.
Presentation.
[PUBLISHED by request.]
From the Atlanta Intelligencer, of the 19th.)
At a meeting on yesterday of the Clerical
Corps of the House of Representatives, Mr.
Theo. N. Winn, in behalf of that body, present
ed CoL Mark A. Hardin, their chief clerk, with
a beautiful gold watch and chain. The watch
was handsomely engraved, and was indeed a
perfect gem. Mr. Winn said:
Col. Hardin—The pleasing, agreeable and
graceful task has been assigned me of present
ing to you in behalf of my brother clerks and
co-workers, as an earnest token of our regard,
a tribute of friendship, and a merited testimonial
to your worth and character, this time-piece
which I now hold in my hand. In craving its
acceptance, we beg that its appreciation may
arise not so much from the intrinsic value of the
gift, as from the feelings which have prompted,
urged and incited its conception. The kind
manner, the polite address and the gentlemanly
and courteous demeanor that you have ever ex
hibited, will not soon be forgotten; memory
with her potent wand, will often recall the scenes
through which wo have passed, and engraved
upon her tablets in character’s indellible will ev
er be the fond recollections and pleasing remin
iscences, now alas! soon to be numbered in the
eternal past, but like the sea-tossed mariner
whose mind ever revorts to those lovely and
beautiful shores, of some Emerald Isle by which
he has glided, or like the weary, worn and dusty
traveler, who never ceases to remember the
frisking rivulets, shady bowers and fertile vales
of some beautiful oasis, left behind, thus will we
in the Great Sahara of life, revert, with fond
remembrance and pleasing recollection to the
legislative session of 1869.
Upon tho brightness of the hour, there rests
but one shadow; the regret that as the exponent
of our department of this legislative body, of my
inability adequately to convey, or appropriately
to express to you tiie warm feelings of friend
ship, which individually and collectively, we
bear you, and as a slight expression of which,
wo now tender you this gift. Accept it, then,
and with it onr united wishes for your happiness
and prosperity. Value it as the offering of es
teem and regard. Cherish it as the presentation
of souls, knit by tiie golden links of true and
lasting friendship. As your eye rests upon its
dial, may you ever remember the swiftness of
time and nearness to eternity; and may indeed
your thoughts be directed to that land where
“Friendship never dies, and love becomes immor
tal;”
when with you “life’s golden bowl be broken,
the pitcher broken at the fountain and the wheel
at the cistern,” may it descend as an heirloom
in your family; and oh, e'en now looking with
mortal ken, through the dim vista of futurity,
methinks I see some noble boy bearing his fath
er’s name, pointing with joyous pride to this
legacy bequeathed by his loved sire, and ever
regarded, honored and esteemed as an evidence
of tho high respect and esteem shown that pa
rent while moving upon the sphere of action.—
Take it, and may indeed tho brightness of the
hour be but typical of your after life—bright,
joyous and happy; and
“As sweeps the barque before the breeze,
And waters coldly do30 around,
Until its pathway to tho seas
Its track nowhere is found,
i Thus passing down oblivion’s tide,
The beauteous visions of the mind,
i * Swift as that ocean’s pageant glide.
' - And leave no trace behind:
1 Bnt that pure gift may yet impart
| ' Tho feelings thus we've told:
The silent feelings of the heart,
: ‘ .7 E’en when these hearts are cold;
This lone memorial then may bloom.
Perchanco to holy friendship dear’
Liko flowers, that linger o’er tne tomb
Bedewed by Beauty's tear.
We ask not for the laureled wreath,
Around our humble brow to twine:
Enough for us to leave our names
Inscribed on friendship's hallowed shrine : .
To think that thero these lines will lie.
And in the distant coming year,
Memory, perchanco may breatbo a passing sigh
For those who traced thorn there.”
To which Col. Hardin replied as follows:
Gentlemen of the Clerical Corps : With the
liveliest sensibility I accept this beautiful watch.
No language that I can command would ade
quately express the grateful emotions that fill
my heart. Words, even when employed by a
master, can but poorly portray feelings, and I
must content myself by assuring you that this
evidence of your respect and regard has touched
' the tenderest chords of my breast. In the elo
quent language of your Chairman, this watch
shall be an heir loom in my family, which those
that bear my name will cherish as a sacred de
posit when the turf is green upon my grave.
The friendship of good and true men like your
selves is a possession infinitely more precious
than the richest jewel that ever sparkled in
monarch’s diadem. May the attachments formed
between us here be as a cable, which distance
or absence may lengthen, hut never break.
in taking an affectionate leave of you, it gives
me pleasure to bear testimony to your efficiency
and fidelity, and I aui sure that I utter noiil
wish for the future of our beloved State when I
express the hope that she may always have such
servants as you, each and alL have proved your
selves to be. Gentlemen, invoking Heaven’s
choicest blessings upon you, I bid you a respect
ful and affectionate farewell.
Gov. Bullock in Washington.—In the Wash
ington dispatches of the 23d, to the Louisville
Courier-Journal, we find the following:
Governor Bullock, of Georgia, is here work
ing actively, with the intense Radical faction to
tear up the present government in that State,
and have (Congress remand .it to a territorial
condition. Of course Bullock is to be the head
with unlimited power of appointment and re
moval. Another point he is striving for is to
be empowered to declare martial law over any
portion of the State, so as to run the State ma
chine after the Brownlow style. The Georgia
, bill is set for Thursday. It is certain that that
portion of the old bill declaring the acta of the
late Georgia Legislature inoperative, null
void will be embraced in the new one to be sub
mitted by the Reconstruction Committee.
A Frame Building Twenty-two Miles
in Length.
From the San Francisco Alta-Cal\fomia.]
"Persons who pass hastily over the Union Pa
cific Railroad hardly give a thought to the im
mense amount of work which has been perform
ed by the company. From the Sacramento to
the present terminus of the road, at Elko, the
trains are onoe more running regularly. The
immense amount of money and labor expended
in cutting through mountains, opening tunnels,
grading the road and laying the track can with
difficulty be realized by those not familiar with
the business. Not the least of the problems- to
be solved was that of protecting the track from
tiie heavy falls of snow which were to be antici
pated during the winter months. To obviate
this difficulty as far as possible, the company
determined to erect a series of sheds, or rather
one building, which should protect the road over
the snow line. Accordingly they have erected a
building which is doubtless the largest in the
world. It is twenty-two miles in length, sixteen
feet in width and sixteen feet in height, not in
cluding the pitch of the roof. It is put up in
the most substantial maimer, all the timbers
used being of the best quality to be obtained.
The sides are inclosed, and were it not for the
fact that daylight penetrates through the inter
stices between the boards, the whole affair
would be very like a huge tunnel. The build
ing is braced together in a most peculiar man
ner, and is, in addition, firmly bolted to the
rooks; wherever the road nears the face of a cliff.
Where snow slides are to be feared an extension
of the roof has been carried to the cliffs, so that
falling masses shall pass over the building and
lodge on the other side. In many places where
side tracks are located, the building is wider than
the figures given above. More than 40,000,000
feet of Jumber have been used in its construc
tion. It covers an area of more than 1,800,000
square feet, or nearly 44 acreas.
One of the best proofs of the stability of the
structure is in the fact that with the exception
of a few miles which had not been really com
pleted, it thoroughly answered the purpose for
which it was designed during the recent severe
storm in which it was subjected to the most se
vere tests. • ,
Express Bobber.
On the 28th of February, a robbery was com
mitted, and a money package containing several
hundred dollars, was taken from the Express
Office at Cairo, No. 20 Atlantic and Gulf Rail
road, in Thomas county, and suspicion fell upon
a young man calling himself E. B. Franklin,
who had been spending several months at that
place, and who concluded to leave for the up
country immediately after the robbery. The
agent at Cairo, upon this information, obtained
a warrant and searched Franklin as he was
about to leave on the cars and found money, but
could not identify it, and Franklin was permit
ted to leave. The facts and suspicions, howev
er, were telegraphed to the Superintendent of
the Express at Augusta.
The officer soon accumulated sufficient evi
dence to satisfy him that a man then at Athens,
Ga., calling himself E. Franklin McManaman,
alias E. B. FranMin, was the real robber of the
Cairo Express. Accordingly, the Superintend
ent caused him to bo arrested, which was effect
ed after much difficulty, by the military, Mc
Manaman alias Franklin, having defied the
Sheriff at Athens and treated his authority with
contempt. He was brought to Thomasville a
few days ago and lodged in jail until Friday last
when he was brought before Judge Alexander
for commitment.
The testimony revealed many circumstances
of boldness and daring on the part of the ac
cused, and a good look at him will satisfy most
men that this is not his first crime, and that he
is capable of executing much more difficult jobs.
When he was searched at Cairo, under suspi
cion, he claimed to be the ward of Col. McIntyre,
of Thomasville, who he reproached with over
caution or penuriousness, and said Col. Mc
Intyre, his guardian, would not send him bnt a
small amount of money at a time. It appeared,
however, at the trial on Friday, that Col. Mc
Intyre did not recognize the relationship
claimed by Mr. FranMin, but was traversing
the evidence with great force and severity
against him.
He was committed, and remanded to prison
to await his trial at the June term of Thomas
Superior Court.—Thomasville Enterjtrisc.
London.
The metropolis of London is composed of nu
merous detached and different parts like a dis
secting map. Two cities, four counties, several
boroughs, and over thirty parishes, townships,
and villages are comprised within its bounda
ries. There is not one of these places to which
you can take a stranger and say, “This is Lon
don.” The metropolis is a country in itself,
and there is just as much difference between
the various parts of it, their architecture, in
habitants, government and customs, as there
is between Liverpool, Manchester, Canterbury
and Brighton. Many Americans suppose that
the streets of London are dull and gloomy.
Set down one of these Americans in Belgra
via, and, after a glance at the tall, splendid
Mansard roofed houses, wide streets and fre
quent squares, he would declare: “This is not
London; it is Paris.” Transport him to St.
John’s Wood, and show him circuitous miles of
beautiful villas, all embowered in trees and
flowers, and he would exclaim: “ This is not
London; it is some lovely country town, like an
English New Haven.” Dive with him into the
fangled lanes, courts and alleys of the City, and
he will observe: “This is not London; it is the
old quarter of Vienna.” Ride with him through
Tybnrhia, and, mistaking the stucco for brown
stone, he will remark: “Ah! New York above
Madison Square.” Only when you bring him
to a narrow, long street, edged with low houses
of dark brick, and ending with a curtain of fog,
will tho London of his imagination be reached
at last.—English Photographs by an American.
Sagacity of a Bog.
A few days ago at Lone Rook, Richland coun
ty, Wis., one of James & Co.’s teams ran away,
and was caught and prevented from much mis
chief by one of their large wagon dogs. Mr.
Tuttle, the driver, had just been hitching tho
team to the wagon, and was about to hitch the
last tug, when one horse kicked him, and both
started to run; one wheel of the wagon passed
over Mr. Tattle’s body, but did no permanent
injury; the team, in their runaway, at once
turned a comer and pointed toward home. The
faithful dog, comprehending the situation, after
looking first to the then helpless driver, bound
ed after the team, and after throe or four efforts
succeeded in drawing them into a fence about a
mile from Lane Rock. Here he was found by
those who had started in pursuit, hanging to the
bit of the off horse, seemingly quite well pleased
with his performance, and fully as determined
to continue on duty till properly relieved. He
had caught the lines two or three times, and the
near horse by the hit once or twice, but said
horse was a wicked fellow, and used his feet on
him too savagely.
A Negro Claims Eight Hundred Acres in
San Francisco.—A negro man, aged about
eighty years, recently arrived in San Francisco
from New York, visiting the former city for the
purpose of reclaiming and taMng possession of
some eight hundred acres thereof, which he
claims to own. He says that he lived where
San Francisco now stands, some thirty-five
years ago, at which time he received a grant
from the Mexican Government for eight hun
dred aores of the peninsula, but the sandy and-
barren character of the soil was such that he
did not value it very highly. After several
years’ residence he went into southern Mexico,
and thence to the Atlantio States, where he
joined Fremont’s exploring expedition and re
turned to California. After the cession of this
State to onr Government he claims to have lo
cated a land warrant on the present site of. San
Francisco. It is understood that he is well
pleased with the improvements that have keen
put upon his land during his absence, and that
he is disposed to be liberal with his tenants. A
swarm of real estate “sharps" are on his. train,
disposed to cultivate him. If this sable shadow
is as dark as represented, it will considerably
cloud San Francisco real estate. —Stockton ( Cal.)

France Refuses to Recognize the Govern
ment of Mississippi. — Our Townsman, H.
Spangler, says the Jackson (Miss,) Clarion, hav
ing in France a patrimony which he wished to
realize, made to Rev. Paul Huber a power of at
torney to receive the fund in France. It was
duly authenticated and the certificate under the
great seal of Mississippi was signed, “Adalbert
Ames, Brv’t Major General Umted.Statea Army,
Provisional Governor of Mississippi.” The
dooument was presented by Father Huber to
the Frenoh Consul at New Orleans. After hav
ing partly written his consular certificate, he
observed the above signature to the Governor’s
certificate. The oonsequenoe of this refusal by
the officials of European Governments to re
cognize our military Governor is that it is im
possible to authenticate such documents ate
to be used there. The defect cannot be '.Nus-

that they are not quite tne same as the runnis-
footman, who is on day and night, and who I
shouts and runs on in darkness and in ligl-
with the same power of voice and muscle.
The route from the Prince’s palace to the
open space through the citadel lies through a
part of the town, which is, perhaps, the uma
striking and interesting of afi Cairo. Familiar
as the city is to all European travelers, there is
abont its streets an ingredient of what may be
understood, though not defined, by the word I
“Orientalism,” which can never weary, which I
is ever suggesting new ideas, or reviving old
ones, or exciting curiosity. How much the
Arabian Nights Entertainment have had to do
with this interest cannot be readily deter-1
mined. A good deal, too, no doubt, is due to I
the belief which underlies the spectator's no-1
tions, unconsciously, as it were, that he is look I
ing at people whe are now in thought and dres; I
and habits very much what they were mam I
centuries ago, and who, all alive as they are. [
yet are as dead as if they were mummified, fo: j
all the purposes of this progressive, practical. I
prosaical half-century. The streets wind in an-;
oat at discretion, through a mass of houses f
mosques, shops, baths, bazars, very muck a. |
mites march through a cheese.
The word “street” gives no conception of tie
tortuous narrowlane which scarcely ever yields
a view of 100 yards in front or behind yon. and
which at times seems to end abruptly by the cor
dial greeting of two houses at opposite sides,
and by their resolute blockade of the infinitesi
mally small entrance, but at either Bide there is j
quite enough to detain the stranger for a plea- |
sant ten minutes—for every ten paces if he
likes—to loiter and be jostled by asses and I
shoved aside by the crowd, or scared by grow
ing, fierce trotted camels. There are the baza: i
shops with their varied stores and still more va
ried and curious customers, and there are the
incorrigible, persecuting donkey hoys, who wH
never desist from importunate, stick-disregard
ing solicitation, till the pedestrian mount. I
