Rejected Addresses.
The result of the recent visit of the Illinois
Press Association to our sister State of Alabama
has been highly afflictive to the Radical c. b.’s
in that State. The Illinois Press Association
numbered a considerable majority of brethren
and sisters in the Radical faith—loyalists and
leaguers of the most uncompromising descrip
tion ; and it was to be expected that they would
naturally attach themselves to the self-claimed
representatives of loyalty in Alabama.
Accordingly, they had not touched foot on
Alabama soil ten minutes, before they were
harangued by a representative of the loyal city
government of Mobile, upon the issues of the
war, and given distinctly to understand the ob
ligations of political fellowship. But the men
of Illinois refused to accept the hint. They
said that by-gones should be by-gones, and they
were bent on brotherhood.
The truth is, they saw how matters stood at
once. They had come to Alabama to see the Al
abamians, and not to see down-east representa
tives of loyalty, gorged with the plunder of po
litical battle-fields won by engineering African
votes. Loyalty of this kind might be a winning
card in politics, but socially speaking it was
damnable. Besides all this, why did these c.
b.’s come to play loyal Hamlet with the loyal
Dane himself left out? The only Southern
loyalists the Illinoisans saw were men and broth
ers and sisters who served them with ice cream,
strawberries, confections, mint juleps and cob
blers; but to these humble, useful patriots no
personal introduction was vouchsafed.
The consequence was that Illinois loyalty
turned itself over bodily to the Alabama rebels,
and was feted and socialized by the latter so ex
clusively that Mobile loyalty took mortal affront.
The case was the same in Montgomery and
the radicals there are anathematizing loyal Uli*
nois in a manner not more ungracious than
hearty. The radical press of Montgomery is
thoroughly disgruntled over the business and
never want to see another deputation of loyal
representatives of the press from tho loyal
North. "What is to be done about it ? The loyal
North likes to disfranchise and politically be
devil the so-called rebels, but when it comes to
social intercourse they do so like the Southern
rebels, and they instinctively reject the good
offices of the loyalists so-called. Here is a dif
ficulty, and what is to be done about it?
Southern Baptist Convention.
This body meets in our city this morning,
there being a very large number of delegates in
attendance, many of them being among the
most distinguished men of the Baptist denomi-
tion in the South. At 10} o’clock flu's morning
the introductory sermon will be preached by Dr.
E. T. Winkler, of Charleston. In the afternoon
an organization will be effected when the Con
vention will proceed to business.
We understand that there is some difficulty in
providing homes for the delegates, and the Com
mittee of Arrangements at the Baptist Church
will be glad to hear of a willingness on the part
of any of our citizens to aid the Baptists in en
tertaining the delegates.
The Baptist church and enclosure have been
put in elegant repair, but we think that a suf
ficiency of light is needed in the house, both
during the day and at night.
We are sorry to learn that the respected Pas
tor of the First Baptist Church is confined at
home by indisposition.
Savannah Postmaster.
P. M. General Crcsswell has dintinguished
himself by conferring the most important post-
office appointment in Georgia upon the negro
Sims. Sims was one of the “ineligible” colored
members of the Georgia Legislature. He is said
to be a quadroon. We think he is a Massachu
setts negro by birth, and was, perhaps, sent ont
to run the “Freedman’s Journal,” or whatever
the organ of the negro politicians in Savannah
was called. It is now defunct While figuring
as organ grinder, our recollection of Sims’
speeches, as reported by the Savannah papers,
is that they were exceedingly inflammatory and
menacing. He was very fond of threatening
fire and murder, if Mr. Nig. was not allowed to
have his own way in all particulars.
In short, Sims and Aaron Alpeoria hunted in
couple and were made of the same stamp.—
Both were carpet-bag mulattoes, sent down here
by the Northern Radicals to stir up the negroes
Pmsios Undeb the Homestead Law.—The
editor of the Atlanta Constitution, attending
Coat Dolton says that Judge Parrott rendered

of confiscated mnles and lands to such as would

those debts or not.

The Immigration in Florida.—The Jackson
ville (Florida) Union has the following: “ It is
noticeable that each succeeding year the char-
»fter of immigration is becoming more substan
tia! aad permanent. The first immigrants to
urconntry are more or less adventurers, and
sssally men who are continually on the move,
ud whether successful or not, must keep mov
ing on. Some few remain, perhaps, but as a
general role they are succeeded by men of more
means, more caution, and who make arrange
ments for a residence and a home.
Colored Indignation.—The colored voters of
Jacksonville held an indignation meeting last
Wednesday, on account of their exclusion by the
Radical city government from municipal office.
They resolved that half the police should be
composed of negroes. The colored constituency
of Mobile are also moved with indignation be
cause their representatives in the city govern
ment were allowed no participation in the fes
tivities attending the reception of the Tllinoig
Press Association.

It speaks volumes for the illustrious Cres-
well that he has selected such a negro as his
next friend and chief representative in Georgia,
and entrusted him, without a dollar’s interest
in Georgia, or probably any where else, with the
control of the correspondence of a great com
mercial city. It is not more an outrage upon
the people of Savannah, than upon common
sense and the public interests. Let white radi
cals and carpet-baggers in Georgia hide thier
diminished heads and see the loveliness of their
own political dogmas and affiliations.
Union Pacific Railroad—A Bad Show*
ing.
Tho report of C. H. Snow, Government Di
rector of the Union Pacific Railroad to tho Pres
ident, draws blood from that concern in every
sentence. The road, according to Mr. Snow, is
a perfect marvel in the way of a sham and
a fraud.
There is nothing about the work of a per
manent or faithful character. Tho first eight
hundred and ninety miles, ho says, will require
an expenditure of six and a half millions to moke
it such a road as is required by the act of Con
gress.
The location is exceedingly faulty, and the
road abounds with heavy grades and sharp curv
atures, inadmissible in a first class road. Eigh
teen miles of it in Echo canon will be under
water three or four months in the year. It is
built almost without culverts, and the track is-
laid with no reference to whether the joints of
the rails come upon the ties or not The rails
are fastened together by wrought iron plates in
what is called a “fish-joint”
The road is deficient in tanks, and these are
fed by wind-mills which are of no use. The
whole engineering and management Snow rep
resents as of the most desperate description.
The financial engineering is still more dishon
est He estimates the fair cost of such a road
at a little short of forty millions, and the actual
liabilities of tho company January], 1SG9 at
$71,715,847. Tho whole concern has been a
swindle. Says the Report.
It is a fact which no one doubts, nnd I believe
no one denies, that the persons who have had
the superintendence and management of the
construction of the Union Pacific Railroad are
the persons who have been and are the contrac
tors for its constrction. The “Credit Mobilier”
does tho work and receives the money. And
what is the “Credit Mobilier ?” To use the for
cible language of Charles Francis Adams, jr., in
an article in the North American Review for
January, 18C9: “It is but another name for
the Pacific Railroad ring. The members are
in Congress; they are trustees for the bond-
hoders, they ore directors, theyare stockhoders,
they are contractors; in Washington they vote
the subsidies, in New York they receive them,
upon the plains they expend them. Ever shift
ing characters, they are very ubiquitous: they
receive money into one hand as a corporation,
and pay it into the other as a contracter.
“ Humanly speaking, the whole thing seems to
be a species of thimblerig, with this difference
from the ordinary arrangement, that, whereas
commonly ‘the little joker’ is never found
under the thimble which may be turned np, in
this case he is sure to be found, turn up which
thimble you may. Under one name or another
a ring of a few persons is struck at whatever
point tho Union Pacific is approached. As
stockholders they own the road, as mortgagees
they have a lien upon it, as directors they con
tract for its construction, and as members of
the ‘Credit Mobilier’ they build it” It will
thus be seen that these parties are not only
deeply interested in getting all tho money they
can, but also in spending all they get; which
circumstances will account for the immense cost
of constructing the road, as reported by the
company.
CITY AFFAIRS.
The Tide or Immigration Increasing.
Forty-three thousand three hundred and one
emigrants have landed here, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser, from the 1st of January
to the 21st of April, against 37,029 last year, an
increase of 4,C72. The pacific, settled condition
of affairs brought about by the election of Pres
ident Grant, has unquestionably had much to
do in stimulating this increased emigration.—
As the year advances, we shall evidently wit
ness a still greater increase over the corres
ponding months of last year. Europeans have
but to be made acquainted with the great op
portunities and openings awaiting them here,
and they will migrate to the new world in far
greater numbers than ever before. And to this
end the Southern States, which are so much in
need of laborers of every description, should
spare no pains and expense in spreading their
attractions and inducements before the people
of Europe. South Carolina, following the ad
vice of Orr and others, has wisely established
emigrant agencies at various points in Europe,
who make it their business to invite and attract
emigration by means of tracts, etc., and whose
services have thus far been bountifully reward
ed. The other Southern States should hasten
to follow the example of South Carolina.
The Sewing Girls in Boston.
At a public meeting held recently in Boston,
From Brunswick.
Brunswick Seaport Appeal.—Tho Brunswick
ci-devant Banner comes to ns as the Brunswick
Seaport Appeal—much enlarged and improved.
It is conducted and published by S. F, Smith,
Esq., and we hope it may live to become an or
gan of a busy trade and a crowded harbor.
Macon and Brunswick Railroad.—The Ap
peal is informed that tho trains of this road will
connect Brunswick with the Atlantic and Gulf
Railroad about the 1st of July, and that the
whole connection through to Macon will be
made by the 1st of November.
From the same paper we also clip the follow
ing:
Another cargo of iron, and the largest yet re
ceived by several tons, arrived in our port last
week, for the Macon and Brunswick Railroad.
We learn several other cargoes are daily expect
ed in onr port for the same road. , .
Telegraph to Brunswick. — Tho party who
are about completing tho telegraph to Darien,
last week proposed to several gentlemen of onr
city, that they would furnish at once a line to
this point from Darien, provided a subscription
of $1,500 was raised by stock subscription.
Only a few days sufficed to secure the amount,
pni-1 are really proud to inform onr readers
that within a few short weeks Brunswick will be
placed in lightning communication with the
world. Surely we have cause to congratulate
ourselves in our rapid strides of development.
ExTRAORMNARr Tyke Setting.—"We learn
from the Athens Banner that Mr. Daniel Mc
Kenzie, who was a compositor in the Southern
Banner office—and a good one—before the war,
in which he lost his right arm, stepped into that
office on Wednesday, and in about six hours set
over three thousand oms of bourgeoise with his
left hand! He had not set a type since 18dl.
Ho did not pie a word, and the spacing and
proof were perfect. We doubt if there is a sim
ilar instance in the history of typography. Mr.
McKenzie, with a little practice, thinks he will
be able to set an average day’s work.
Defiance.—The Atlanta Constitution says:
Defiance, No. 5, of Macon threw a solid stream
farther than any other hand engine.
Laura Keene’s husband is dead, and Matilda
t Heron is suing for a divorce.
in behalf of the working women of that city
numerous statements were made in relation to
sufferings of those people of a startling charac
ter. One of these is as follows:
“ Dr. Dio Lewis, the well known lecturer and
writer on physical culture, said: I get my
clothes made at an establishment on Washing
ton street, considered one of the best tailoring
shops in ttie city. I was attracted there by the
belief that they treated their sewing-girls un
usually welL One day, conversing with the
gentleman who has immediate charge of the 120
or 140 girls there, I asked: * Is this hard work
for the girls ? ’ * Yes, it is hard work. ’ ‘Well,
what do yon pay them ? ’ ‘ Oh, we pay them $4
and $5 a week, and there is a girl who earns $S
a week.’ * Does she work hard? ’ ‘Yes, she is
a staver to work. ’ I said, * This is a warm, close
place; how long do these girls last ? ’ ‘Well,’
he said, ‘if they run a sewing-machine they last
from one and a half to two years, though some
few stand it longer. Their backs give out, their
spines give way. It is that ugly motion of the
foot that spoils'the spine. I wonder that some
one has not devised a sewing-machine that will
allow the operator to put tho foot backward and
forward, as in walking ? ’ * Well,’ I said, * when
they give ont at that you put them at something
else ? ‘No, when they give ont they are pret
ty well spoiled.’ "
It strikes ns that Wendell Philips might very
properly abate some of his zeal in behalf of the
political equality of tho negroes and look after
these poor sewing girls. Is it a fact that white
poverty and suffering have no cfaim upon the
attention of the Bostonians ?
Mrs. Warren said:
“I have canvassed fifteen cities of tho United
States, and have not, in any of them, found the
condition of women so deplorable, as in the city
of Boston.”
Mrs. Sarah Ellis, a middle aged woman, a
tailoress by trade, being asked to speak, said: I
merely rise to state some facts. I am an Amer
ican woman, wife and mother, yet I have work
ed from dawn to snndown, not stopping to get
one monthfnl of .food, for twenty-five cents. I
have lived on one cracker a day, because I
could not get employment and could not get
any more food, though I have traveled from
house to house, and from place to place, seek
ing for work. Even women have asked us to
make shirts for two shillings apiece. These
garments (exhibiting two sacks and two shirts)
are from one of the charitable institutions of
Boston; have been made entirely, hemmed,
felled, buttonholed, and gusseted, for forty-five
cents, and all the work done by hand.
Miss Phelps spoke:
“There are 2,000 needle women in Boston
who get only thirty-five cents a day, at the
most” '
Another woman exhibited a sack bag full of
shirts. These were to be made out and ont for
45 cents each. ■ 1
Dr. Dio Lewis gave her testimony:
“There are 20,000 women in Boston who earn
their living by needle. ”
Mrs. Houghton said:
“She knew of the cases of women who made
shirts at 50 cents a dozen.”
Sirs. Warren again spoke :
“Eaoh costly dress makes three prostitutes.”
May Day Sabbath School Celebration.—Yester
day will long be remembered by the rising genera
tion of this city ss a day on which they made one
of their grandest demonstrations. .
About 9 o’clock a. m. the teachers and pupils of
tho various Sunday Schools began to assemble at
tho Mulberry Street Church. They assembled by
schools and in column, bearing various beautifu
banners inscribed with some appropriate text from
the scriptures and the name of the school, and on a
few we noticed some pretty design illustrating the
text.
In a short while the teachers and pupils of the
Yinevillo School, and those of the 31ulberry Street
Methodist School, had assembled and. awaited the
coming of tho First Street Methodist School, the
Presbyterian School and that of the Presbyterian
Mission School. The three last named all marched
together from the First Street Methodist Chnrch,
and were received at the Mulberry Street Chnrch in
open ranks by the pupils and teachers of the first
two Schools named, and after they had passed in
the ranks closed and all entered. During all this
tho Colored Brass Band, of the city, were conveni
ently near discoursing some of their best music.
Entering tho Chnrch, we really never saw a more
beautiful and impressive sceno, anywhere or under
any circumstances. The Church was densely
crowded, it is true, but tho thousands of bright eyes
and smile-lit little faces, their gay attire, the hun
dreds of boquets, wreaths and ribbons, formed just
such a picture as the angels love to look upon.
When all were seated and quiet was obtained, tho
Chnrch exercises were opened with prayer by Rev.
E. H. Myers, D. D., and the following exercises
then followed:
Song—“Work for the Night is Coming.
Speech—Master Abner Holt, of tho Yinevillo Sun
day School.
Song—“Voices, Happy Voices.”
Speech—Frank Jackson, of the Presbyterian Mis
sion Sunday School.
Song—- ‘Singing, Ever Singing.”
Speech—Walter Johnson, Presbyterian Sunday
School.
Song—“Our Army Song.”
Speech — George Jewett, First Street Sunday
SchobL 1 . 1 '• i • „
Song—“The Dear Ones all at Home.” f e i ■
Speech—Georga Smith, of the Mulberry Street
ScbooL
Song—“The Gospel Ship.”
In regard to the speeches it is unnecessary to
say more than that tho young orators acquitted
themselves most handsomely, and as each retired
from the rostrum, he received a perfect volley of
boquets and flowers. In regard to the singing, wo
have only to say that \va never heard better from
so many voices. It was most sweet and harmonious.
But the following resolution passed unanimously af
ter the last song, explains this part of tho exercises:
Resolve-}, That tho thanks of this large assem
blage arc hereby tendered to Prof. Whitney, of tho
Wesleyan Female College for the beautiful singing
which we have heard this morning, and the children
who have been so admirably trained by his skill,
for giving us the finest singing we have ever heard.
The Superintendent of Exercises, Rev. J. Blake
ley Smith, then announced that the schools would
form in line in front of the chnrch, and march to
the grove near Bose Hill Cemetery, where the din
ner tables were prepared and, after feasting, the
Coronation exercises would take place.
The different schools then formed in line as above,
in a very orderly and quiet manner, the right of the
column resting on tho church, and extending down
tho street below the Stubblefield House. There
were five schools in procession, numbering in all
about five hundred little boys and girls. At the
word of the Marshal of tho Day, Mr. Wm. Singleton,
the column moved off to the grove to the music of
the Band, and as they did so, they presented a most
beautiful and imposing spectacle.
On arriving at the hollow just this side of the Cem
etery, the column filed to tho left of the road and
np to the grove where the tables were spread. J
Each school had its table, and the teachers afd
pupils gathered around them and partook of nfost
elegant and sumptuous repasts. After dinned the
happy little children and tho crowd generally spent
the next three hours in strolling through the grove,
or in sitting abont in the shade chatting and witness
ing the preparation for the Coronation exercises.
The floral thrones were ere' 1 in the grove to
the right of the road leading l. ae Cemetery. They
were four in number and very beautifully construct
ed. They consisted of platforms about four feet
from the ground, over-arched with wreaths and
flowers, and very tastefully decorated. To one
standing on the crest of tho hill a few paces distant
and looking down upon them they appeared like the
homes of some fairy queens. But we have not tho
time or space to comment and must tell what was
done.
About four o’clock the Coronation exercises began
and proceeded in the following order:
The Yinevillo School selected as their Queen of
May, Miss Ella WaU. On ascending her faiiy like
throne her subjects bowed their allegiance and the
crowner, Miss Valeria Lamar, then stepped forward
and in the most loyal terms and manner placed tho
crown on her Majesty’s head, and kissing her hand
in affectionate allegiance took her position to the
right of the throne. Her Majesty’s garland bearer,
was Miss Fannie Logan; Scepter bearer, Miss Lou
Holt. Maids of Honor: Kitty Lyons and Maggie
Browning. Seasons: Spring, Fannie Lamar; Sum
mer, Mitty Moughoa ; Autumn, Josie Day: Winter,
Jessie Hardeman, and six little Flower Girls.
2d Coronation. Tho Presbyterian School, Miss
Lizzie Lockett, Queen.
Crowner, Clara Wells; Scepter bearer, Carrie
Boifeuillet. Maids of Honor: Cornelia Knott,
Bello Wills, Minnie Wood, Annie Boifeuillet, Graeio
Townsend, Ophelia Nisbet, and eight Flower Girls.
3d Coronation. The First Street Methodist School,
Miss Lena Brewer, Queen.
Crowner, Miss Fannie Foote; Scepter hearer.Miss
Bessie Benson. Maids of Honor: Nellie Bennett,
Bettie Burnett, Nattie Cherry, Nannie Smith, Mary
Morgan. Mary Smith. Herald, Virginia Herring
ton. Flora, Hattie Brinn, and sixteen Flower
Girls.
4th' Coronation. Tho Mulberry Street School,
Miss Fannie Boss, Queen.
Crowner. Miss Lila Ross; Scepter bearer, Miss
Minnie Jackson. Maids of Honor: Bosa Ham
mond, Annie Boberts, Milly Cobb, Florence Patter
son. Seasons: Spring. Minnie Boss ; Summer,
Jessie Goodall; Autumn, Julia Bass ; Winter, Liz
zie Rogers, and twenty Flower Girls.
Fully two thousand persons witnessed these pret
ty and mimic regal oxercises and we are sure they
never saw anything ini this section to equal it in point
of beauty and loveliness. Tho Qneens were all hap
pily chosen and it matters not if their authority was
brief, they ruled all hearts whilst they were in pow
er and occupied their fragrant and beautiful thrones.
With the Coronation tho exercises of the day
closed, and the happy scenes abont which we have
talked and heard bo much have been witnessed and
have now passed into history.
No accident occurred to mar the pleasures of the
day, and Heaven blessed the little ones with bright
skies and delightful weather,in which to enjoy them
selves. May they live to see tho return of many
such celebrations as that of yesterday.
Meeting of the State Fair Committee.—In re
sponse to the call of the Mayor of the city, the Com
mittee appointed to solicit cotribntions to the State
Fair, to bo held in Macon in November next, met in
the Council Chamber yesterday afternoon at four
o’clock, His Honor. Mayor Obear in the chair.
On motion it was resolved, That the Armoiy
buildings and grounds bo selected as the place for
holding tho Fair, as they are a suitable distance
from the city and convenient to the Macon and West
ern Railroad, and afford ample room for such a pur
pose. It was resolved further, that ’the Com
mittee proceed immediately with tho work of raising,
by subscription, the sum of §10,000 or §15,000 for
tho purpose of putting the Armoiy buildings and
grounds in proper order for holding the Fair.
After considerable interchange of views in regard
to details, tho meeting adjourned.
It now only remains for tho citizens of Macon to
respond promptly and liberally to tho call which the
Committee will make upon them for necessary funds
to make the Fair a brilliant success. Fifteen thou
sand dollars will, wo think, cover the outlay which
is necessary to be made, in fitting up the Armory in
a proper manner. A more convenient, roomy and
eligible site for holding tho Fair conld not bo found
in the State, and if all will do their duty promptly
and energetically, wo shall have such a gathering of
the people in tho city next November, as was never
seen in Macon before. Tho merchant, mechanic,
the hotel proprietor and boarding houso keeper; in
fact, every citizen of Macon will bo benefitted by
such a vast throng of visitors, as they will leave with
us hundreds of thousands of dollars. By making
tho Fair a succoss this year, success will ever attend
it in future. By properly preparing for it, we can
insure success; and wo believe that tho geographical
position of Macon will soon convince tho people of
the State that here alone is tho point for holding
their annual State fairs, and other points will be
abandoned for such purposes. More anon.
The Gale on Saturday Night—Destruction of a
Church.—About 10 o’clock on Saturday night last,
tho wind blew almost a hurricane in this immediate
section. In addition to the prostration of many
shade trees, fencing, etc., in different parts of the
city, wo regret to state that it made a complete
wreck of the New Methodist Church in East Macon.
It was a frame building in course of erection, and
all tho frame-work had been put np and partially
weatherboarded, and about a fourth of the roof cov
ered in. It was literally demolished, and even
some of the brick foundation piflars were overturned.
All the morticing and timber joints were burated
apart, rendering the timbers useless in reconstruct
ing tho building. In fact, the structure will have to
bo commenced again at tho beginning.
IVo greatly regret this accident, on account of our
friends in East Macon, who have struggled so long
and laboriously to build themselves a church, as they
cannot now proceed with the work of rebuilding
without appealing for aid; but wo hope our citizens
will all contribute a mite toward helping them in,
their misfortune. They have already appointed a
committee to seek help on this side of the river, and
if our citizens will contribute as they should do, un
der the circumstances^ the hopes of our East Macon
friends will soon bo, revived, for this accident has
well-nigh crushed all they entertained of having a
chnrch of their own at an early day. Let all of us
help them a little.
Set Back.—A couple of the boys whom we shalj
not name, turned ont in their red shirts and fire
men’s hats on Sunday afternoon to go with the fire
men’s delegation from tho different companies of
tha Macon Fire Department to Atlanta. Unfortu
nately the aforesaid couple, prior to the departure
of tho train, had a little falling out, and actually got
to “toumamenting.” The police interfered, and in
stead of allowing them to get on the train, marched
them back to town to await an examination before
the Mayor.

Weekly Review of the K&rket.
OFFICE DAILY TELEGRAPH, >
— - “ —Blf
_ May 5—Evening, 1869.,
The general wholesale and jobbing trade of the
city has been considerably better the past week than
the week before; but it is not at that point of activ
ity which the abundance of currency and tho season
of the year would lead one to expect.
In dry goods the retail trade has been quite lively
all the week under review, and on one or two daya
some pretty heavy operations transpired in the
wholesale line. i
Financial.—Since our last weekly report, gold has
advanced in this market about four cents on the
dollar, but operations in coin are of a very restricted
character. Money continues easy, and all first class
paper receives ready accommodation at the banks.
The stock and bond market remains very quiet,
indeed. Tho demand for this class of securities is
very limited, while tho supply is ample to accommo
date all reasonable demands. "We give carefully re

An Attempt to Murder.—On Saturday night last
two men were seen by Capt. Morris, about twelve
o’clock, prowling around Ms premises in a suspicions
manner, and to let them know that they were ob
served and that they were in danger, he fired his
pistol. The shot aroused Mr. Steven Collins, and
getting out of bed, he threw liis gown around him,
and, taking a pistol, went out. In a moment after
entering his yard, he saw a man leaning against his
fence on Magnolia street, and soon alter the man
came walking along down tho street where Mr. Col
lins was standing by Ms gate and on tho inside.
Both looked each other in the face, but Mr. C. could
not tell whether the man was wMte or a bright mu
latto, but after the man had passed a few steps, Mr.
C. saw Mm turn, and stepped back from tho gate,
and just as ho did so, the midnight prowler shot at
him, tlio ball just grazing Mr. C.’s face. Mr. C. re
turned the shot, and the rascal then fled. Who he
was or what tho two who were seen were up to, is a
mystery.
A Loving Nephew—A fow days ago a colored
boy, named Edmunds, was arrested on a charge of
swindling, but was released for want of testimony.
While in the Guard House ho was in the cell with
Ms uncle, an old negro who had been arrested on
a charge of horso stealing. Tho old criminal, find
ing that his affectionate nephew was about to be set
at liberty, gave Mm ten dollars to bribo two wit
nesses to como forward at 1ns trial and prove an
alibi. Tho goodnatured nephew took tho money,
went and spent it like a man, and left Ms uncle like
a “fine old colored gentleman,” to take Ms chances,
wMch will bo mighty rough, as tho police have got
tho “dead wood” on him. One cannot help reflect
ing upon the high value placed on negro testimony,
in this caso, and wo are satisfied that if “uncle’s”
plans had succeeded, ho would have no trouble in
finding the requisite number of friends, who knew
him to bo somewhere when the theft was perpe
trated.
A Bousing Bumoil—It was tho topic of "general
conversation on onr streets yesterday afternoon,
that Gov. Bullock had absconded with §468,000 of
tho State’s funds. We conversed with more than a
dozen prominent gentlemen on the subject, but
could trace tho rumor to no reliable source. We
think it was merely a huge hoax, and mention it as
a local item that produced some sensationand a vast
deal of talk.
The Uses of Reconstruction.—Don Piatt sets
them forth as follows :
Our so-called reconstruction acts serve New
England, BTlf1 not the South. Tho net purport
and upshot of the business is to have a body of
men in Congress frbm the Southern States who
represent the moneyed interests of Yankeedom.
We call them carpet-baggers. I met one at the
opening of the hollidays last winter, carpet-bag
in hand, making for the depot
“Whither bound ?” I cried.
“Homo, for a few days.”
“What, going South ?'"’
“Devil a bit. Iam making for Connecticut,
to see my family." . .
He did not caU the land of his constituents
home. Of course not; nor does he consider the
interest of his political locality, but votes steadi
ly with the manufacturing capital of his old
home.
“Ma, make Bob have himself; every time I
hit nun with the hammer he hollers. ’ i
Dissolution and Reconstruction. — It will be
seen by a card elsewhere, that Alderman George B.
Turpin has withdrawn from tho houso of Burdick
Brothers & Co., and that tho house, as now re
constructed, reads Burdick & Brothers. It has been
n operation over since the war, and is now recog
nized as one of our standard mercantile firms. They
deal in plantation supplies, and their stock consists
of all the articles that catalogue calls for, We wish
it a continuation of that success wMch has so far
marked its career.
Defeated.—Wo received the following telegram
yesterday from a member of Defiance Fire Compa
ny, No. 5, of this city:
Atlanta, May 3,1869.
We have been beaten. No. 5 took the prize on
good looks to-day. John.
Whilst wo dislike to hear that our boys bars been
beaten, we rejoice to know that their good looks
have been appreciated.
We cannot believe, however, that the Judges
looked “John” square in the face when they made
the award.. If they did, we should .Iiko to. know
what they call ugly.
Another dispatch handed us reads as follows. It
is from the Chief of our Fire Department:
Atlanta, May 3.A.21. A. Morris, Foreman Young

A Beautiful Place It has been a |Iong wMle
since we have spent a couple of hours more pleas
antly than tho two we passed yesterday at the resi
dence of Mr. W. S. Brantly, in East Macon. The
weather, it is tree, was a little unfavorable for taking
observations about hi3 premises, but we saw enough
to convince us that he has one of the prettiest gar
dens, finest orchards, the choicest nursery, and most
promising tittle patch of cotton, to say nothing of
Ms strawberry beds, shrubbery, flowers, his apiary,
bams, etc., that .can bo found on any one place in
all thiB region. Ho is cultivating every foot of Ms
ground—about forty acres—in the best Btyle known
to gardeners and planters, and has about twenty
acres in cotton, embracmg both tho South Sea and
Peeler varieties, the former of wMch sold in this
market last November at 30 cents per pound, when
the ordinary short staple was selling at 21}£ cents.
He has a fine stand, and, with favorable seasons,
confidently expects to raise tMrty bales of cotton
on the twenty acres; as bo made a bale and a half
to tho aero last year.
His peach orchardisaniceoneindeed—embracing
the choicest varieties. Tho trees (1200) are literally
loaded down with tho young fruit, Hia strawberry
beds are in their prime, and when dinner came on
wo tested their flavor and our capacity for holding
them to tho fullest extent. We won’t say anything
about Ms Irish potatoes more than that he has our
consent to sell a few at a guinea apiece—if he can
get it. Ho ooght-to realize at least $3000 on his
surplus vegetables, fruits and cotton this year, and
we confidently believe he will do it.
Notwithstanding the attractions wMch this beauti
ful place presents, and all the comforts and conve
niences it possesses, it is on the market for sale at
only $4000 cash—possession given the first day of
January next, or $6000 cash—possession given im
mediately. Where’s Forney and his squad of land
speculators ? Where’s anybody that wants a place
that can be made to pay foe itself in one year, and
lying within one mile of this office ?
Personal.—Gen. W. T. Bennett, Supervisor of
Internal Reveuji-3 for North and South Carolina, is
at the Lames House.

Sunday School Convention.—On yesterday the
Baptists of the South held a Sunday School Conven
tion in our city, which was largely attended, and
numbering among its members many of the most
distinguished men of the denomination, among
whom wo may mention Drs. Boyce, Broaddus, Man
ly and Williams, of South Carolina; Drs. Borrows;.
Taylor and J. L. M. Curry, of Richmond, Ya. v Dri
Sampson, of Washington City; Dr. Williams, of
Baltimore; Drs. McIntosh. Henderson, Sumner and
Teague, of Alabama; Dr. Graves, of Tennessee ;
Dr. Armitage, of New York; Dr. Mell, of Athens;.
Ga.; Rev. A. E. Dickinson, J. Wm. Jones and Dr.
Poindexter, of Virginia; Rev. J. O. B. Dorgan, of
South Carolina: Dr. Skinner, of North Carolina, and.
many others.
The exercises began on Tuesday night, Dr. J. IC-
Graves in the chair. He nominated Rev. G. C. Con
nor for Conductor, and Mr. Connor was unanimous
ly elected and took the chair. He then called upon-
Rev. J. C. Hiden, of North Carolina, who delivered
an excellent address on “What to Teach and How.'
to Teach it.”
Tho exercises on Wednesday morning were prece
ded by an hour of devotion. Rev. J. O. B. Dorgan
read an interesting essay on “The Duties of Parents
to Sunday Schools ;” and he was followed by Bev-
C. H. Ryland, of Virginia, who spoke eloquently on
the subject of “Country Sunday Schools,” with which
subject be evinced a thorough acquaintance. In
the afternoon, after half an hour of devotional ser
vices, a short time was spent in answering questions;.
when a debate sprang up as to the propriety of un
converted persons teaching in Sunday Schools. The -
conclusion arrived at seemed to be that this wasnob. .
advisable.
The use of catechisms was briefly discussed.
Dr. Boyce desired all proper help, and thought
tho right kind of catechisms desirable.
Rev. W. L. Mansfield differed, arguing that the ■
Word of God alone was sufficient. He illustrated
the excellence of the “ uniform lesson” system and
advocated it.
Rev. G. C. Connor gave an explanation and pac*-
tical illustrations of the “graded class” Bystem,
many of the brethren making suggestions and ask
ing questions.
Study by the teachers during the week was strong
ly advocated, and the conclusion was arrived at that,
in order to retain children under the influence of
pulpit ministrations, the preaching should be adapt
ed to the capacity of the tittle ones.
Dr. Williams, of Baltimore, feared that too much <
“machinery” was being introduced into our Sunday
Schools, and said he could not discard the old sys
tems and substitute the blackboard and its appur- -
tenances. He stated that he could seo no differenoo -
between the catechism off tho blackboard and the
catechism on the blackboard.
( At night the Convention was addressed by Dr;
Armitage, of New York, on the peculiar place that
Baptist doctrines should occupy in the teachings of
our Sunday Schools. The address was able and el
oquently delivered; it excited mnch commendation,
and, we understand, has been soticted for publica
tion.
It cures dyspepsia, heartburn, sick and nervona
headache, chronic diarrhoea, etc..
It relieves costiveness, despondent and melon—
ebaly feelings, nervousness, etc.
It prevents fever and ague, dropsy, consumption,
jaundice and bilious diseases.
In fact, Simmons’ Liver Regulator baa no oqnal
as a preventive or cure. Examine and see tho cer
tificates of people right here at home that you know.
That delicately beautiful Crystal Fountain, with,
its continual streams of sparkling water, is a nov
elty so attractive that it will well repay one for-tho
short walk round to Ellis’ Drug Store.

the copyright of which it is reported that'she
has an offer of $15,060.
