MACON, FRIDAY, APRIL 0, 1869.
The Ramie Plant.
We have written and published a great deal
about Ramie, but the reception from our friend,
Col. Ivoraon, of a Louisiana pamphlet upon the
subject, suggests a few words more. Many of
the Louisianians believe that the Ramie is des.
tined to open up a culture upon the Mississippi
bottoms which will prove immensely remunera
tive—far beyond what sugar and cotton havo
been; and which, at the sarno time, is adapted
to the labor exigencies of that region.
The Ramie flourishes best in rich sandy soil,
but grows luxuriantly in those moist and fertile
Mississippi bottoms. It is an East Indian plant,
which, in its indigenons soil and climate, attains
3 growth of five or six feet, but, on rich South
ern lands, will grow ton feet high. It is propa
gated from the root, in the first instance, and
then, ns the stems sprout; they aro bedded
down, leaving the tops exposed, and in four or
five weeks, these stems take root like a layer
from a grape vine, and thus a sufficiency of
roots is obtained. The roots, it is stated, can
be multiplied a hundred fold daring the season
in this way.
When a sufficient stock of roots is obtained,
they are put down for field cropping in fur-
roughs six to ten feet apart, and tho roots the
same distance apart in tho fnrroughs. Tho
land must be rich—very deeply broken up, and
the roots covered to a depth of three inches.
The same system of propagating from layers is
then followed until in process of time the rows
have become covered with the stalks or shoots
of the Ramie as thickly os wheat in a field. The
processes of nnrsory and field culture are very
elaborately described in tho pamphlet before ns.
The Ramie is gathered three to five times in
the year, in the shape of long stems, which
. shoot np from the earth almost as slender and
as straight ns the osier-willow, with a purple
colored bark, in which tho fibre is found as long
as the stom, and capable of being worked to al
most any conceivable degree of fineness. It is
of immense strength, and applicable to any
manufacture for which flax is used, while it is
vastly superior to flax in length, strength and
fineness. Its yield per acre of well sorted
plants is said to be about l,r>00 pounds of tho
fibre, worth, in London, abont sixty-two cents
■per pound.
When, once planted, tho crop is pitched for an
indefinite period. It needs only to bo manured
from year to year and kept dear of weeds and
other growth. It is a crop, therefore, requiring
bnt little field labor. It is rapidly gathered, and,
by the use of a machine valued at $200, the
fibre is broken out and cleansed with great ra
bidity by horse power. The stems cut in the
morning may bo transmuted to packed fibre by
night
It is believed this now fibre will meet with a
demand limited only by its possible product for
many years. It is now used in tho manufacture
of laces and many other fabrics to which the
.best flax and raw silk have hitherto been ap-
phv.'d- In combination with silk, the finest and
mosfr costly tissues are elaborated from it, and it
is mt&iai h great variety of dress fabrics.
The Louiduna planters say this crop will ren
der them to inconsiderable extent independent
of tho waning proportions of field labor in that
region, and that soil once well rooted with it
_ can bo tended and harvested without exposure
to the heat of the summer sun, All these, and
many other facts pertaining to the Ramie
culture, may bo gathered from a pamphlet by
E. LeFranc, Editor of La Renaissance Louisi-
onaifu;, 48^ Conti street. Now Orleans, which
may be had by addressing tho author.
The 1'nion League* null Imperialism.
The New York Citizen, of last Saturday, an
nounces something like a literary coup cC dot
in most of the great cities in the United States,
in favor of a crowned Emperor, and an auto
cratic arrangement to correspond. It states
that a newspaper is very shortly to appear in
Philadelphia called “The Empire,” with the
motto, “Let us have peace—the Empire is
pence.” It is to bo established under the se
cret auspices of the Philadelphia Union League.
In reference to tho other literary enterprises
connected with tho movement tho Citizen says:
It now appears that they (tho Imperialists)
havo found sympathy here, and that one week
from to-day a paper is to be issued in this city
to be called the Imperialist, the prospectus of
which has already been issued, in which it is an
nounced that “this long expected journal,”as
though tho matter had been in secret contempla
tion oven during the last Presidential campaign,
will appear in April. Still further along we are
told that “ the creed of tho Imperialist is revo
lutionary ; its mission is to prepare tho minds
of the American people for the revolution that
has already begun throughout the country”—
thus announcing that the work has been pro
gressing for a long time, and that it has finally
reached a stage where its objects and aims can
be openly proclaimed. Another paragraph in
The Grant Administration.
Thnuunoval of General Stoneman from the
command in Virginia, for tho purpose of restar
ting that wretched creature, Wells, to the Gov
ernorship of Virginia, is the worst sign wo have
seen in General Grant’s administration. Wo
ore disposed to think he finds himself “over
cropped” by the Presidential office, and after a
few vain efforts at independence, is bound to
subside into a steftdy-going party administra
tion. The Presidency, in these times is, mtrutb,
an office which will test tho mental caliber of a
tnnn more searchingly than any other position
•on earth. Ho must have a clear head and a
moral courage which pales at no obstacles or
conflicts—which is, in liberal truth, indomitable,
•or ho is bound to succumb to the terrible outside
pressure, and be carried along by the great tide
of party corruption andselfishness which sweeps
everything before it. We are not disposed to
judge too hastily, bnt tho chances for an admin
istration under General Grant which shall main
tain a stem and inexorable opposition to frand,
corruption and all tho acknowledged abuses of
tho Radical party,appear to diminish day by day.
Board of School Commissioners.
At a meeting of the Bibb County School Com
missioners, in the Ordinary’s office yesterday,
the following persons were licensed to instruct
poor children at the charge of tho county:
Mias Dollic L. Howard, at Lake Academy,
’ Howard’s District.
Miss Van Yalkenbnrg, in the Warrior Dis-
• triet
George Stinson, colored, to teach colored
children beyond the Laboratory, on tho Forsyth
road. ^
The Southern' Watchman, published at Ath
ens, Go., comes to ns in a now dress and look
ing as fresh as a bride. We hope the Watchman
is destined to staft on a new and enlarged career
of influence and usefulness. We can’t say that
Colonel Christy deserves much sympathy since
he disgraced the doth by getting elected toCon-
gress; bnt on tho whole, wo will overlook that
oscapado in consideration of tho fact thatButlor
and the Radicals know his proper and appropri
ate sphere, although the editor seemed to have
forgotten it
Veoetabtxb.—Tho Thomasville Enterprise of
Wednesday boasts of tho first green peas in that
locality. Wo had them a week or more ago
from Florida, but it will bo a fortnight before
they mature here. Asparagus and lettuce ore
plenty in Macon, and we think one of our neigh-
bora has been shipping asparagus North for a
fortnight The gardons this year are remarka
bly backward, owing to tho very cold spell in
• early March.
The Chances.-—The Atlanta Constitution
says that a gentleman who conversed with Gov.
Smith, of Alabama, on the 31st nit., reports that
the Governor expresses the confident opinion
that Governor Bullock will not succeed in his
efforts to remand Georgia back under military
rule. Governor Smith has just returned from
Washington city, where be has had ample means
for forming an opinion.
A Child Burned to Death.—-The Athens
Banner, of Friday, learns that the residence of
Mr. Vaughn, of Banks oounty, a few miles from
Harmony Grove, was destroyed by fire a few
•days ago, in which one of his children, six
months old, perished in the flames.
Mbs. Harriet Beeches Stowe and husband
passed through Jacksonville, Fla., on Wednes
day last, en route for Mandarin.
Rochester, March 30.—Considerable excite
ment prevails in the city and along the Genesee
valley above, in ooneeqnenee of a rise in the

be openly proclaimed. Another paragraph in
this prospectus indicates that either the bond
holders are in the movemont, or el3e their sym
pathy and aid are sought, and that it is also the
intention to make this class the nobility; for it
states that, “ Wo believe that tho national faith,
if left in the keeping of the populace, will be
sullied by sure repudiation of the national debt,
and that an Imperial Government can alone pro
tect the rights of national creditors."
Then, again, it is stated that “the Republic
means lawlessness, corruption, insecurity to
person and property, robbery of tho pnblio cred
itors, and civil war; thatiho Empire means law,
order, security, public faith and peace.” This
journal is likewise to advocate making Grant an
Emperor. These facta prove that the movoment
is not a mere ephemeral affair, bnt on earnest
and determined ono; that it has already made
great headway in this city and Philadelphia, and
if tho whole secret was known, it might also ap
pear that papers are to simultaneously appear
in Boston, Chicago and other cities advocating
the same programme. One thing appears quite
certain, it is not confined to a few individuals,
as a sensation: sufficient hAs transpired to show
that it is a bona fide movement, and that it is
backed by a powerful secret organization, bear
mg the mysterious title of T. I. O. This is the
name which has been adopted by tho societies
which are now being started in different parts of
the country.
A very lively story, certainly; and all we have
got to say about it is that wo do not care what
they call a government working outside tho mil-
itations of fundamental law. They may call it a
freo republican government, bnt tho false pre
tence is demoralizing, and the expense and in
convenience of keeping up the machinery of a
free government are needless, while that ma
chinery itself, worked in the interests of absolu
tism and lawlessness is incongruous and ill adapt
ed to its purpose.
Look at all tho ridiculous fuss we have had
and are having, for example, to blot out the
Southern States and annihilate State independ
ence in general—how mnch better it conld havo
been done by an imperial rescript, than it has
been done by tho clnmsy combination of a su
preme Radical Congress, negro suffrage and
carpet-bagism, insulting the common sense of
tho people with a pretence of working under
constitutional law.
And if they give us at last, His Imperial Maj
esty, U. S. Grant, by Grace of God Emperor of
America, few sensible men will doubt it is an
improvement on what wc have got now. Would
it not be for better for the South to take her
chances under the control of one singlo man,
than to be bedevilled year after year with Con
gressional reconstruction tyranny—negro suf
frage—negro and carpet-bag representation—
bogus elections of all sorts—the extravagance,
tyranny and corruption of Stale Legislatures,
and the whole round of enormous and oppres
sive taxes, for a State government which, in
point of fact, is no government of the people
and is not worth a red cent for any praiseworthy
purpose whatsoever ?
We say if things are to go on in this way, we
don’t believe there are a hundred Georgia whites
who would not hold np both hand3 for somo
autocrat to substitute his single will for all this
bald and ridiculous imposture of a government,
and to obliterate with one stroko of bis pen the
whole of the absnrd and costly machinery by
which tho shallow pretence of Republicanism
and free government is kept np in the South.
We say, then, if our Northern masters cannot
find it in their hearts to give us something bet
ter than the bogus Republicanism we have
got, let them bring on their Ulysses I, and we
will tiy him a while, upon the new schedule.
The South is in that fix, in the way of so-called
civil government, that she cannot bo worsted by
a change.
Tlie Farming Reason
Is much more forward than last year, and plan
ters, if we escape an April deluge, will be in
much better cropping condition than they were
at that time. We think farm-work is now about
where it was on the 15th of last April, when that
terribly destructive rain-storm deluged Middle
Georgia, in many instances sweeping away the
germinating corn-crop, disfiguring plantations
with hugo gnllies and leaving all the ploughed
land beaton down and impacted as firmly os if it
had never been broken up.
That rain-storm left our planters to begin
anew their crop-preparations, under more dis
advantageous conditions than if nothing had
been done. Such was tho general disarrange
ment and disorder, that they were puzzled what
first to turn their hands to. The com out of
ground and not carried away, was ruined with
out immediate work, and it was questionable,
with most of tho young crop, whether it were
better to replant what was missing, or break np
tho wholo field again and arrange for a new
seeding. Then, tho whole pressure of tho cot
ton crop was also upon them, and tho entire
plan of the agricultural campaign was disar
ranged and defeated. Tho cotton was delayed
so mnch that tho worms in late summer had it
nt double disadvantage, and, in short, nnder all
the circumstances, it was surprising that so
mnch was accomplished daring the year. If we
escape these disastrous rains during the current
month, we shall consider the Central Georgia
planters a good month ahead of where they
were last year. ^ ^
The Sandersville Georgian says that somo
days ago Mr. John D. Taylor, a worthy citizen,
so far as the editor knows, saw a notice admon
ishing him to leave the connty, or he would be
severely dealt with. On Saturday night last a
party of disguised men appeared at his house,
doubtless with tho intention, of executing their
threats, but Mr. Taylor seeing them approach
ing, fired, and one of them fell mortally wound
ed, the others fleeing. Tho wounded man re
fuses to give his name, or that of any of the
party, or his place of residence, but says he has
a wife. No cause is assigned for the outrage.
Maoon‘ and Augusta Ralleoad.—Wo learn
from the Augusta Chronicle that a telegram
was received in that city on Saturday, from
New York, announcing thut arrangements have
been closed which insure the early completion
of the nnfinished portion of the Macon and Au
gusta Road between Milledgevillo and Macon.
.
Macon Telegraph.—We have missed from
our news table for the past week, the genial face
of that ever-welcome visitor, the Macon Tele
graph, to whose columns the Herald has hereto
fore been much indebted. Georgia cannot boast
of anything in the way of a newspaper that excels
the Teleorafh. We hope to see it again on our
table.—Greensboro Herald.
We have made enquiries in the mailing office,
epd are told the Telegraph is mailed regolady
to the Herald.
Let ns Examine the Figures.
To the Court-House and City Hall Ticket card
in yesterday morning's Telegbaph, I would sim
ply reply,, that the Commissioners appointed
by the Ordinary of the comity, on the recom
mendation of a late grand jury, located on the
site, corner of Mulberry and second streets, be-
causo it was the bat tendered after wttkt of ad
vertising for proposals. The lot being tendered
free of oost, their design was to erect a building
at a cost of $50,000—leaving only $30,000 to be
raised, having sold the old property for $20,000,
which they expected to pay off within tho next
six years ont of the present county receipts,
which were ample to spare $5000 a year for that
purpose withont any increase of the present tax
ation ; and I feel that I am warranted instating
that if the ticket headed by Col. Whittle is elect
ed, they will cany ont about tho same pro
gramme, in the event of a better site not being
offered on as good terms.
In regard to the City Hal! as a site, I remark
that it is the property of the city, and withont a
proper compensation for removal of and build
ing a new Market House, and the ground to be
usedfora Court House, which will cost tho county
some fifteen to twenty thousand dollars, the city
authorities would not bo warranted in allowing
the connty to use it for such purpose.
So that any way you work your figures, you
cannot prove that tho erection of tho Court
House on Mulberry street will cost the county
over $30,000, in addition to the amount receiv
ed for the old Court House; whereas by your
best estimate on a plan condemned by a com
mittee of Council and the Inferior Court, as not
providing sufficient accommodation, is $S5,000
Add cost of new Market and city’s lot
to build npon 820,000
Making $55,000
Thereby showing clearly an advantage in fa
vor of the Mulberry 'street location of $25,000
and a building every way better adapted and
suited for Court House purposes.

Water Runnin" np IIUI t
Editors Telegraph: “Neither Side" says ,! the
best of some of these lakes are (is) lower than
the bed of the river;” granted, but how about
the surface, fifteen feet above low water mark ?
Lot off that fifteen feet down hill into the river
—that will give fifteen feet fall to the waters in
lakes near the city, leaving their beds dry, as
they ought to be. By actual survey by an ex
perienced engineer, the cost of drainage, in
cluding levees, will bo thirty thousand dollars,
and not one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
to complete the job, as stated.
But, speaking of jobs, that reminds us of a
big one up town in more ways than one. That
job includes a gift, so-called, by the sharp men
of Mulberry street, who never let one dollar go,
unless it solemnly promises to bring two or
more back with it. Well, they propose malting
a gift to the county that will cost it, by actual
demonstration one hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollats! And yet it is commended
to tho people because of its cheapness! Par
ties who make gifts expect considerations, and
if the people of Bibb accept this one, they do it
with eyes open, and must abide tho result

Prospects ot Reconstruction.
Tho telegrams, to-day, Bay that action in re
lation to the excluded States during the present
session is considered impossible. In this con
nection we republish the following colloquy in
the Senate in relation to adjournment next
Tuesday, the 6th, as proposed by the House res

for the purpose of retaining money in the

Bryant on Butler's Bill.
We see from tho telegram to the Louisville
Courier-Journal, that another Georgia delega
tion, headed by J. W. Bryant, was also heard
before tho Reconstruction Committeo. That
paper says: « -
The Georgia delegation, headed by Col. Bry
ant, formerly of tho Federal army, was heard
by the Committee on the Georgia question. Bry
ant said he opposed this bill and the general
policy of the Radicals in Congress in reference
to tho State of Georgia, which, if carried out,
would, in his opinion, moke a second Poland or
a second Ireland of the State. He said the
people of Georgia, including rebeLs, were well
disposed, and desired harmony, but the mis
chievous legislation proposed would not only
overthrow the Republican party in tho State,
bnt drive the people to desperation, and none
could foretell tho disasters to follow. Ho cen
sured Gov. Bullock, to whom he attributed the
defeat of tho fifteenth amendment in tho Geor
gia Senate, and mldett, if unlimited power was
placed in his hands, as proposed by this bill, in
calculable injury would bo dono to the State and
country.
Where does Bryant find “rebels” in Georgia?
Wo know they havo been a highly useful class
of people to the carpet-baggers; and it is ex
tremely desirable to the Radicals to maintain it
in existence; bnt really, in the face of all the
facts, we think it must be hard work to keep np
the imposture. Wo have read that tho Black
Douglass was a Lowland bugaboo for five gen
erations after ho was doad, and possibly Bryant
& Co. have hopes of maintaining an equal im
mortality to tho “Southern rebels" for the bene
fit of their peculiar crowd of Loyalists, so-
called. .
MA-— —
A Disgruntled Governor.
The Alabamians, wo think, have been com
paratively fortunate in the Chief Magistrate
who has fallen to their lot under the accidents
and catastrophies of reconstruction. He seems
to bo, in tho main, fair, reasonable and patriot
ic. Ho has latterly visited Washington, and a
correspondent of tho Huntsville Democrat
writes :
“Gov. W. H. Smith will leave for home, per
fectly disgusted with the state of affairs here.
The carpet-baggers treated him with the ntmost
neglect and contempt, and never consulted him
in the least about the affaire or interests of the
State. He has been trying his best to have
our railroads built, but ho and tho capitalists
from tho North who are here with him, have
met obstacles at every step, put in their way by
these infamous men, who were sent here to
represent the interests of the State. The fact
is, that, unless they can moke a nice thing of
it for themselves, they will have nothing to do
with it. One of our so-called State Senators,
from the south side of the river, is their under
strapper, and he very coolly tolii-President
Stanton, a short time sinoe, that if he wpnld
give him the contract far furnishing the ctoes-
tiee for the read at only sixty cents apiece,
everything should be arranged for him in Con
gress in regard to getting back the public lauds.
Stanton, who is a man of spirit, very politely
showed the noble Senator the door.” j
ever since 1602, trying to reconstruct Georgia
and other Southern States, and yet believed they
were no nearer reconstruction than ever. If
Congress could reconstruct a State, it had had
time enough, but to reconstruct successfully, in
addition to Congress and time, ono thing more
was needed—good sense.
Mr. Sumner asked what tho Senator from
Wisconsin proposed to do with the pending ex
ecutive business.
Mr. Howe did not believe there was enough
of such business to occupy one evening session,
hut that as a matter of course tho Senate would
remain in session long enough to dispose of
all business of that kind that might come be
fore it.
1 Sir. Anthony said that so far as he could re
collect tho Senator from Massachusetts, Mr.
Sumner, had never voted for an adjournment
He thought there was no good reason why Con-
S ess should not adjourn at the time fixed in the
onse resolution.
Mr. Sumnee—What does the Senator from
Rhode Island propose to do with Georgia ?
Mr. Anthomy—Well, that is a question which
has troubled me a great deal, and I have pretty
much come to the conclusion to let Georgia take
care of herself.
Mr. Scmneb—'Then tho Senator proposes to
furnish no protection or security to Union men
of that State.
BIr. ANTHONYreplied—A bill for Georgia could
be passed in a very short time whenever the
Senator having charge of it would go to a quorum
of tho Senate and ask them to stand by it.
BIr. Scmsek—What has my excellent friend
to say as to Virginia ?
BIr. AxiHONr—I don’t think it necessary to do
anything for Virginia at this session.
Mr. Somnee—Or Texas?
Mr. A.vfnoNr—I suppose Texas will stand
pretty much as she has dono for tho last few
years. These States do not seem willing to
come in. I don’t think we can help it.
Mr. Coj&lin suggested that the Senator from
Rhode Island, in answering the gentleman from
Massachusetts on this subject, should bear in
mind that the House Committee on Reconstruc
tion, which had for a longtime been investigat
ing and considering tho whole subject, and
which, therefore, might be presumed to know
whether it required any further legislation at
this session, had impliedly expressed the same
opinion that it did not, by twice agreeing to ad
journ at an early day.
Mr. Scmnee—I understand, then,.that my
friend from Ilhode Island proposes to abandon
those States.
BIr. Anthony—Only so far as I propose to
abandon at tho same time Massachusetts, Rhode
Island or any other States.
Mr. Sumner—Oh, but the Senator knows they
are not in a position to require Congressional
protection.
Denominational Liberality.
Under this head the Cuthbert Appeal, of
Thursday, says:
We are truly gratified to learn that a distin
guished Divine (Rev. David Wills, D. D.,)has
consented to repeat, very soon, in our city, a
discourse recently preached to an immense audi
ence in Columbus, npon tho duty of Christian
fellowship between the several branches of the
protestant church.
For that purpose, Dr. Hamilton, himself an
ardent advocate of similar opinions, has kindly
tendered the use of Andrew Hall, that the learn
ed speaker may not feel his liberty o speech in
any degree trammeled, by tho consciousness
that his utterances might be distasteful to the
sect whose hospitality ho was enjoying. It is
earnestly to be hoped that this timely effort will
do much to cement the good feeling and brother
ly love, which should subsist between Christians
of every name in this community.
The want of this charity, of which the great
head of the church was a bright and illustrious
exemplar, is the fruitful source of that spiritu
al leanness, and those heart buntings and jeal
ousies which mar the peace of God’s people,
and cost a reproach upon tho religion of Christ.
God has created into the bosom of man the
spirit of immortality, and endowed him with
tho reasoning attributes, which take shape,
and arrive at conclusions, as varied and diverse
as tho persons of their authors. From a com
mon text and standpoint, a half-dozen gifted
Casuists will devise theories and deduce rates of
practice different in degree, whilst in reality
conforming ofttimes in the main to that line of
argument which establishes the somo great
truth.
The diversity may consist in mere matters of
detail only. Thus it i3 in religious affairs.
Christ, tho head of tho church, is reverenced
and adored, and acknowledged s& snch by every
evangelical sect, nnd heaven is tho common goal
which all aro striving to attain. The several
denominations may be likened unto as many
paths which all converge and run together at
tho gates of tho celestial city. Each pilgrim
selects that which to his own vision seems freest
from difficulties and obstructions, bnt all are ar
rayed in the panoply of tho cross, and should
stand side by sido in the dread straggle with the
powers of darkness.
One great feature of the millennium, we be
lieve, will be the utter destruction of that big
otry anil proselytism which are begotten of de
nominational narrow-mindedness, and are any
thing but Christ-like in their influence.
The grand inquiry-should be, is the brother n
tmo follower of his Lord and Master ; is he a
consistent Christian? Tried by these tests and
not found wanting, let him bo taken at once to
your hearts and loved and cherished as warmly
as the most zealous disciple of your own school
or sect.
We predictfor Dr. Wills anoverflowinghouso,
and trust that his messages of truth may do
mnch to fuse into one, the divided hearts of tho
several branches of the truo church. Timely
notice will be given of his appointment.
Still Another Horrible ffnrder In
Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, March 30.—A horrible muder
was committed here yesterday, under peculiar
circumstances. Early yesterday morning a man
threw himself into the Delaware river and was
drowned. Subsequently a handkerchief was
found in tho water bearing the name of Black-
stone. This afternoon the body was recovered,
and found to be that of Blackst'ono, of the firm
of Funston & Blackstone, picture-frame makers
at 912 Market street.
The body was sont to his honse in the extreme
northwestern part of the city. On arriving
there the parties found another party of police
in possession, and that Blaekatone'a wife and
two small children were dead, chopped to pieces
with an ax. It appears that previous to commit
ting tho murder yesterday, Blackstone wrote a
letter to his wife's father in Connecticut, saying
that he had killed his wife and children and
would kill himself. The party in Connecticut
this afternoon telegraphed to the police authori
ties here who went to the house and found the
dead bodies as before related, and were investi
gating the case when the dead body of the father
was brought in.
On Blaokstone's body was found a paper stat
ing that he had been robbed and was a ruined
man, and giving this as a reason for the deed.
His wife appears to have been killed while light
ing a fire in the stove on Monday morning, as
the neighbors heard a noise at that time. The
children were killed in bed up stains and carried
down and laid at the feet of their mother. Black-
stone was probably insane.
the “Connecticut Mutual,” of Hartford, in the
first year of their existence; and these are the
two hugest companies in tho United States.
I assert, moreover, that the Atlanta Depart
ment of the Southern Life, now organized for
less than ono year, has up to this date already
effected more insurance than was effected by
the “Mutual Life," of New York, in tho Fourth
year of its existence, and more than toe amount
effected by tho “Connecticut Mutual" in the
seventh of its existence. Will any agent who is
circulating these lying articles of the Times dare
deny thir ? Yet its business is inconsiderable!
The truth is thnt its great success is tho harass
ing objection with these agencies of othor com
panies, and our rapidly enhancing prosperity
must continually give them still more abundant
and all sufficient cause for assailing our institu
tion.
But the Southern Life is charged with being
about to fail and refusing to pay its losses.
Those are falsehoods. Tho sworn statement of
its officers evidences a larger ratio of assets to
liabilities than any of the leading companies of
tho North doing business in the Sonth. It has
a capital of $159,000, and assets to over $400-
000. It has paid every legitimate loss over
(140,000) that it has ever sustained, and its as
sets have more than doubled since its organiza
tion. If such men as hold its stock and are
identified with its prosperity will not settle f airly
with the widows and orphans of the South, will
the people of this section expect fair dealings of
those of whom they know nothing, and some of
whom boast that they made by the war many
millions by cancelling policies held by Rebels or
“Rebellion Blasters,” as they jeeringly call
them ?
It (the Southern Life) “has had its notes pro
tested, has withdrawn from BXississippi and a
general agent has abandoned it in disgust.”
Wholesale falsehoods these in every part and
particular. No note of this Company was ever
protested—it has not withdrawn from Btississip-
pi, bnt is doing a large and increasing business
in that State, and the general agent referred to,
is now in correspondence with the Company de
siring a reconnection with it.
In this department, where tho names of its
stockholders are known, they admit it is sound,
bnt the Memphis Department* who is respon
sible for that? In the Blemphis Department,
where the stockholders are recognized among
the best citizens and ablest financiers of tho
country, they admit it is safe, but the Atlanta
Department—who is responsible for that 9
They circulate a report made by a committee
of the Kentucky Senate, doing great injustice to
this company, but will they circulate the sup
plementary report of the same committee ex
plaining the clause of tho first (and fully mak
ing amend) or will they give currency to tho
following extract from a letter of Col. J. P. Les
lie, one of said committee, in wt-ich he says:
“I feel to know that the Southern Life is
sound, beyond doubt, and will gladly co-operate
in doing it justice—that ample justice which
would havo been done in the first report, if all
the facts had been before the Committee.”
The Southern Life has no war to make upon
other companies, bnt will continuo to urge tho
people of the South to retain their money at
home, and coase to send so many millions to
other sections for life insurance. It will still
offer as safe an institution, ns solidly founded,
and ns honestly managed as any in the United
States. It will, at least, never boast of millions
of accumulations made by canceling policies
held by rebels, or “rebellions masters.”
J. B. Gordon.
President Atlanta Dep. Sou. Life Ins. Co.
The Senate.
Says Don Piatt:
This ominent body has gone up, in my esti
mation, fifty per cent, within the hist two weeks.
There is so much pluck shown in tho fight now
going on that 1 havo come to the conclusion
that the Senate is a positive quantity, and can
bo counted on in an emergency. Tho whole
power of the Executive is brought to boar upon
the Senate in favor of repeal. The entire press,
Democratic and Republican, is in favor of re
peal, except, perhaps, the New York Tribune.
The galleries are packed, day after day, and the
lobbies ore thronged by men who scowl, and
scold, and swear at the delay that keeps so ma
ny from tasting the sweets of office; and yet,
day after day, the dignified old Fog-hank set-
ties in solid gloom, as indifferent to these in
fluences ns to the winds. Some few havo been
excited, but the majority sit in calm quiet, dis
cussing tho qnestion as jf it were an abstraction
of a remote contingency.
Do you know that to me thiB is beautiful ? It
reminds inc of President Lincoln coolly consid
ering the claims and filling the offices of all the
little cross-roads post-offices, while the South
was gathering in arms to march upon the capi
tal—or, rather, of a scono I once witnessed on
a Mississippi steamer. A number of gentlemen
were seated at cards, in the cabin about mid
night, gambling, when a flue collapsed. There
was a wild scream, • and then a dead silence, for
the cnglno stopped its throbbing, and the pas
sengers stood appalled. The silenco was bro-
den by one of toe gamblers bringing his card
down with a bang upon the table, and exclaim
ing:
“That’s an unhealthy noise. Clubs is trumps,
gentlemen."
Adana and Phnrpar rivers, of Damascus, men
tioned in the Scriptures, have recently been
thoroughly explored by Macgregor, the famous
canoe traveler. Blacgregor, after going from
Cairo to Suez, and exploring the Delta of the
Nile, had his canoe carried by land to Beyrout,
thence over Mount Lebanon, and finally launch
ed in the river Abona, on which he paddled to
the plains of Damascus. The rivers Abatis and
Pharpar, in consequence of the wild beasts,deep
jungles and savage Arabs, have heretofore been
laid down inaccurately on the maps by travelers.
Macgregor gives an interesting account of a
“giant stone town," with stone doors, rafters
and window shutters, covered with Greek in
scriptions, dating before the Christian era.
A Valuable Discovert.—A man named Eller-
shausen, who for some years past has been ex
perimenting in Nova Scotia, in toe manufacture
of iron, has at length discovered a process
which, it is said, saves about twenty dollars per
ton in toe production of wrought iron.- This is
done in a simple manner by the introduction of
solid metallic oxide into the molten metal
“Pittsburg,” says one of the papers of that
city, “ electrified. A myriad of hammers clat
tered on the new-born ingot.” The Pittsburg
Post says “the modus operandi is so simple,
that, like the results of Newton’s apple, it is a
matter of surprise that it was not discovered be
fore. ” This discovery is one which is calculated
to cheapen all the necessaries of life, for iron in
one form or other is used, either directly or in
directly, by everybody.—N. O. Times.
Lee County.—The editor of the Albany News,
who attended Lee Superior Court, says :
There were a goodly number of people about
the Court-house and on the hill, and we were
pleased to hear a general expression of satisfac
tion with crop prospect*. Meet of- them have
their lands well prepared for the seed and fertiL
izera, and bat few complain of inefficient labor.
They have planted largely of corn and it ia
generally up on looking fine. Our observation
up one reed and down another verified these
gratifying statements. ■
