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 ok derision that is remarkable enough to be aoticei Land in the hands of a purchaser had toakvied on under execution against a preri- i to * becoming hostility against their old masters oa reader. The purchaser claimed a home- : and present employers, and hold out the promise of confiscated mnles and lands to such as would Sesdual the Judge allowed it. So, that un de this decision, it is immaterial against whon *;« debts utj be. a man who has property can • ...a i homestead in it, against his own debt . ...u the debt* of everybody else, whether subject :• those debts or not. The cose will probably be taken np. 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.

Sims is a Methodist preacher, and will be recollected as Turner’s correspondent when the latter charged the whites of Macon with i firing the African Methodist Chnrch in this I city. 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. financial and commercial. 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 vised quotations: EXCHANGE ON NEW YOKE Per month..

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.

L* C. Ritas. 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. OnoCERIES AND PROVISIONS.

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.
