Finlanders in Alabama.
The Montgomery Mail of the Gth reports the
presentation of fifty emigrants from Finland,
men and women, to the Governor in a speech
from Mr. Linn, of that nationality, who seems
to have been the Moses of the party, and who
briefly stated the obtacles he encountered in
bringing off the party owing to the slanders of
the South put into circulation to prevent it—
But for these he would have secured full 200.—
The party was welcomed by the private Secre
tary of the Governor—that functionary being
absent The Mail says :
The immigrants express themselves as highly
delighted with this country, and with every
thing they have seen, and they have, in conver
sation with some Danes and Swedes who are old
citizens here, in the warmest terms testified
their deep gratitude to Mr. Linn for the kind
ness and fostering care he has extended to them,
in providing for nil their wants, securing em
ployment for them, and acting as their father
and protector.
Knabe’s Piano Manufactoty.—a discretion

and delight from every experienced player who
touches it.

Colleges in Macon.
■ Just now, propositions are in agitation for a
new location of the Olethorpe University, now
in Midway; and Mercer University, now at Pen-
field. I There is a very decided disposition in the
Baptist and Presbyterian denominations to select
Macon as the future site; but Oglethorpe has
conditionally accepted Atlanta, under the pro
viso, that Atlanta shall add forty thousand dol
lars to her endowment fund, and provide a rite
for the college. Mercer, we understand, would
vastly prefer Macon. ■ } ,-r
Now, the way to fix both is to come down
handsomely. Let the City Council vote them
fifty thousand dollars apieoe, and it will be, in
fact, a twenty per cent, investment every year.
Atlanta, with all dne respect and admiration for
her, is abont as fit a place for the classic shades

Bloody Doings In Jackson Connty.
Florida.
On last Tuesday, the 28th ult, near the Nat
ural Bridge, in Jackson connty, Florida, there
was a negro pic-nic—none present but negroes.
A negro constable, Calvin Rogers, an overbear
ing person, wa3 present and claimed to have
been shot at. Ho then called for Wyatt Scur-
lock, one of his friends, who on his approach to
Rogers caught up a child, and he and the child
were killed by one shot from some unknown
person. Rogers, with the party, returned to
Marianna, and with a party of whites and blacks,
went in search of the murderer. They conld
find no clue to the perpetrator of the deed. A
jury of inquest composed of whites and blacks
found that Scurlock died from a gun shot in the
hands of an unknown person. The jury met on
Wednesday, the 29th, and made up their verdict
on last Friday.
On Wednesday night, the 29th nit., a white
man named Columbus Snllivan, in going from
his residence to his gin-house, was shot in the
eye and shoulder by some unknown person, and
a negro boy with him wounded slightly.
On Friday night, October 1st, CoL McClellan,
a prominent lawyer of Marianna, was badly
wounded, and his daughter killed. Calvin Rog
ers and other negroes, circbmstances point out
as the perpetrators. Oscar Granberry, one of
the negroes suspected, was killed on last Satur
day morning.
IVliat Wc Have Lost.
Forney’s Philadelphia Press of the 4th inst.,
says:
Some idea of tho sort of speech General But-
ler would have made at the Macon Agricultural
Fait in November, if he had not declined the in
vitation of the Committee, or had not been
warned away by the insults of the Southern
Democratic papers, may by gathered from his
remarkable address at the late Cattle Show at
Worcester, Massachusetts. Even the Spring-
field Republican,one of the severest critics of the
General, commends his sonnd and original sug
gestions. His theme was capital and labor, as
they relate to Agricultnro. He showed that so
far as legislation is concerned it has always been
in the interests of capital and negligent of tho
interests of labor, and in support of this posi
tion he told some valuable truths, which will
not be without effect upon the law-makers of
Massachnsettss.
Tho Southern people will learn to endure the
loss of Gen. Bntler’s rhetoric and figures, as they
have already learned to do without immense
material values belonging to them which he has
appropriated to*his own nse and benefit.

tion has been gathered, and that there will not
be a lock of the staple in the fields by the first
of November.
Much surprise was expressed because Govern
or Geary, of Pennsylvania, appointed a number
of Democrats as delegates to the Louisville
Commercial Convention. But some shrewd fel

very day the convention was appointed to meet,

Traits of the Chinaman.
BY ONE WHO KNOWS.
Commodore Garrison having been applied to
by Hon. P. A. Conkling, of New York, for his
opinion as to the troth of certain allegations
against the Chinese—their “ntter depravity,
“horrible nameless vices,” eto., replies:
From an extensive acquaintance with the
question of Chinese labor, and close and care
ful observation of that people in California and
elsewhere, I do not hesitate to say that they
are, as a class, an honest, faithful, frugal and
industrious people. I believe that the asser
tions contained in the article referred to, con
cerning their moral character, are perversions
of the truth. They are a simple, docile people,
who migrate from their own country, where an
overcrowded population causes labor to be bo
poorly paid, to California, purely for the pur
pose of earning greater wages than they possi
bly can at home. It is my deliberate opinion
that in so far as character, habits and industry
are oonoemed, the Chinese may, man for man,
compare favorably with a large portion of the
immigrants from Europe who are so constantly
thronging to onr shores ; and in some respects,
viz: in the matter of patient and uncomplain
ing industry, frugality and a custom of minding
their own business, they are almost unequalled.
Bank Bursting Extraordinary.
IMMENSE BOBBERY AT THE BANK OF NOB WALK,
COSN-—the vault and.safes blown OPEN—A
HAUL OF OVER $150,000.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin, October 2.)
Early yesterday morning as some laborers at
Norwalk, Conn., were on their way to work they
observed a couple of tin cash-boxes in the street
and some loose papers lying around. These led
to enquiry, which resulted in the discovery that
the National Bank of Norwalk, had been robbed.
When our reporter arrived at the bank there was
quite a crowd assembled; but none were ad
mitted except those who were on business, A
reporter having made known his object, was ad
mitted, and found Mr. J. M. Tilley, of the New
York detective police, making a survey of the
premises.
The bank is a brick building with a handsome
brown stone front, situated on the south side of
the principal street of the town, adjoining and
West of the depot of the Danbury and Norwalk
Railroad.
The officers of the bank had felt very secure
against any attempt to despoil them of the val
uables contained therein, resting their faith
chiefly on a Franklinite iron drill and bnrglar
proof safe, made by Hendrickson, of Brooklyn,
and on the vault itself, though this was chiefly
considered as a protection against fire.
From the appearance of the premises it was
thought the burglars must have entered by the
front doors by means of false keys, looking the
door behind them. The opening of the doors
of the vault by means of wedges and the “jim
my” must have been a comparatively easy task.
This once opened they had their choice of nu
merous cash bevies, bundles of more or less val
uable papers and documents, and baskets of
silverware, deposited in the vault for safe-keep
ing. But these were none of “your every day
gentlemen” who were content with small, or
comparatively small recognition of their stand
ing in their profession; they estimated them
selves far higher. Within the safe were the ar
ticles of which they were in quest, and these
they meant to have and proceeded to get.
They appear to have first tried to force tho
door, or split the safe with wedges. First one,
then another part of tho door yielded to their
well directed efforts, bnt the door was still
closed and the safe intact. They next tried the
efficiency of powder, and, despite the warranty
of Mr. Hendrickson and the confidence of the
bank officials, appear to have had little difficulty
in proving Mr. Hazard’s powder superior to the
warranted Franklinite. The charge was placed,
the fuse laid and ignited, the vault deserted and
the doors shut, and tho explosion awaited. And
such an explosion 1 The safe door was de
stroyed, the doors of the vault blown open with
such force as to break the wall behind them;
the plate glass windows in the front of the
bank were also broken, and other and numer
ous marks of the force of the powder ore plain
ly to be seen.
At this juncture a Mr. Parker, who lives next
door to the bank, and whose bedroom is about
twenty feet from the vault, was disturbed in his
slumbers, got out of bed, went down to the
sidewalk in front of the bank, saw the gaslight
burning as usual, and seeing broken glass on
the sidewalk, supposed some boy had thrown
stones at and broken the glass of the lamp.
Mr. Parker then returned to his bed. This was
between three and four o’clock in the morning.
The safe open, the enterprising gentlemen
proceeded to help themselves to a little over
$32,000 cash, the property of the bank; $17,000
United States five-twenties; $11,000 Danbury
and Norwalk Railroad bonds; $9150 Burlington
and Mississippi Railroad bonds, and a note for
$10,000, the property of Mr. Ebon HUl, the
President of the bank, eight $1000 bonds, one
$500 and one $50 bond of the Burlington and
Mississippi Railroad; one $1000 bond of tho
city of New Orleans; two certificates, each of
fifty shares, Bank of Norwalk stock; ona certifi
cate of forty-six shares Manhattan Fire Insur
ance Company; one certificate of thirty-three
shares of stock of the Burlington and Mississippi
Railroad; certificates of about $5000 scrip divi
dends of the Union Marine Insurance Company,
all tho property of Frederick Belden; $6500
United States five-twenties, the property of Mr.
E. K. Lockwood; $2500 United States five-
twenties, the property of George A. Davenport,
Judge of Probate, and some five or six cash
boxes they took, contents and alL These, with
other and smaller amounts not yet definitely as
certained, will probably amount to not les3 than
$150,000.
The .Situation and the Remedy.
From the Charhtton 10th Century.]
In all departments of the government the
same condition of affairs exists. Cornption,.
mediocrity, rapacionsness and carpet-bag ambi
tion run riot through tho State. The pride of tho
white man is humbled by seeing such men
placed in power. The tone of colored men is
owered in order that they may be nsed by vile
adventurers to retain the power which they
have obtained. The same condition of affairs
exists in the other Sonthern States which have
been reconstructed.. The whole South is bur-
thened by taxes imposed, in many instances, by
strangers and irresponsible persons. A large
part of the money so raised is applied to
schemes of wasteful extravagance, from which
the authors of the tax bills expect to derive a
portion of tho profits. Our internal systems are
being tampered with, and men without experi
ence are attempting to solve suddenly the prob
lems which would agitate for years the intelli
gence of the wisest and best men in the country.
The effect of this is that doubt and confusion
reign everywhere, and all good men are weary
of the condition in which we are living.
So much for what is! No one can deny that
the statement is true, and if there is any object
ion to the picture it is that the coloring is not
sufficiently bright. No one can pretend that
this condition of things is desirable, and the
question naturally arises, what is the remedy ?
In looking for relief we must look at home, and
at home alone. National politics have nothing
to do with the matter. The questions which
national parties will have to decide are very dif
ferent from the questions in which we are im
mediately interested. We are at present desir
ous of obtaining good and pare local govern
ments, of getting rid of penniless, worthless,
ambitions and unprincipled adventurers, of
freeing ourselves from the burden of taxation
with which we are oppressed, and of relieving
ourselves of the wasteful extravagance which, if
not checked, will increase the weight already on
onr shoulders. We do not mean by this to sug
gest any chango of party lines, or party affini
ties on the broad national questions of the debt,
the currency and the tariff. Those questions
are for the nation to decide, and mnst be the
greatest issne discussed in the elections for na
tional office. What we do mean to say is that
we should look at home for the remedy for our
local troubles, and that remedy consists in re
cognizing the existence of what no sensible man
can fail to see.
The reconstruction acts are fixed facts in the
Southern States. It matters not whether they
are constitutional or unconstitutional, whether
they were right or wrong, wise or unwise, they
are fixed facts, and have been fastened upon ns
by the conqneror as one of the terms of peace
after his victory. These facts we are bound to
recognize. From them flowed the present
State constitutions, which give equal political
rights to all men. This, also, we are bonnd to
recognize.
Admitting these facts, what reason can the
colored man have for not uniting with the white
men of the Sonthern States in freeing ns all
from the corruption which weighs upon him as
well as upon us. We believe that the respecta
ble portion of the colored people in the South
will join us in any effort to procure good gov
ernment the moment that they clearly under
stand that we do not desire to take away from
them any right which they now possess. Their
interest and our interest is the same. Good
government can be obtained by the union of
good men, irrespective of color, in the attempt
to wrest the local governments from the hands
of those who now afflict onr people. We have
shown the disease and have Bt&ted what we be
lieved to be the remedy. If we are wise the
power of the Radical party will soon be de
stroyed, and the day of purer and better gov
ernment will soon dawn upon our people.
SfS£ TELEGRAPH.
- From Virginia,
THE (iOVEKSOB’S MESSAGE.^*
Richmond, October 7.—In the Senate the protest
of the-Republican caucus against the legality of the
body, was taken up and read at length. It announc
es that the Republican members reserve to them
selves tbe right at any time to secede from the
present Legisture and organize by themselves the
legal and loyal Legislature. The Senate voted to
day to lay it on the table. During the discussion a
Republican said that he regarded those who joined
in making this protest as representing the admin
istration and Congress until the President and
Congress Bhould decide otherwise.
It was announced that Gen. Canby had replied to
tbe Committee of the Legislature which waited npon
him that he had no communication to make.
Gov. Walker has sent in his message; of tho fif
teenth amendment he says: The people of this
commonwealth, at the late election, by an over-
verwhelming majority, accepted and adopted the
principle sought to be incorporated into the Federal
Constitution by this amendment, viz.: the civil and
political equality of all mea before tho law. The
well known honor and integrity of the people of
Virginia forbids even the supposition that they
would fail to faithfully adhero to and maintain,
while necessary and possible, any principle to which
they had yielded their adherence.
Virginia always fulfills, in the most ample good
faith, all her pledges, but our people by this action
have not only placed tho political rights of all our cit
izens upon a firm and enduring basis, but they have
accomplished much more, they have increased tho
prospective power and influence of our State in tho
nation’s cousels by broadening the basis of repre
sentation under the fourteenth article of tho Con
stitution of the United States. When in any State tho
right of euffrage is abridged, except for crime,
tho basis of representation must bo reduced in a
corresponding proportion. Although we havo wisely
settled this question so far as our State is concerned
and forever banished from the theater of State poli
tics this prolific source of irritation and discord,
there is reasonable ground for a proper apprehen
sion that if tho 15th amendment should fail of
adoption as part of the Federal Constitution - , our
State may bo flooded with, and tbe control thereof
pass to the hands of, a class of emigrants from the
great States lying upon or near our borders, who
will seek the enjoyment of these civil and political
rights accorded to them here bnt denied to them
there. Self-protection, therefore, demands that we
do onr part towards securing the ratification of that
amendment—our interests require it, our faith is
pledged to it. '
He considers the electing of Senators dearly a
requisite to admission, and adds that complete res
toration is accomplished by admission to repre
sentation in Congress; and there can bo no ques
tion that admission to representation may, to somo
extent, depend upon tho representatives elected,
while tho election of Senators would fully complete
every preparation necessary for the prompt admis
sion of the State to representation in both houses
of Congress. Tho election of suitable men for
these exalted positions would unmistakably dem
onstrate tbe sincerity of our past action, and afford
a sure guarantee of our intentions and purposes for
the future.
In conclusion, ho says: Permit mo to congratulate
you upon tho progress already made towards tho
restoring of tho State to civil government, its good
effects are already visible everywhere within the
State. Confidence is being restored, commerce is
moving, mineB and manufacturing enterprises are
being organized, capital is seeking investment in our
public improvements and in our rich agricultural
and mineral lands, and taking tho place of gloom
and despondency. Peace and prosperity are once
more dawning upon our desolated land. Conscious
of the rectitude of our own acts, motives, and in
tentions, and relying upon tho combined favors of
tbe Almighty Disposer of human events, let us all
manfully grapple with the living present and hope
for a glorious futuro for the commonwealth.
(Signed) Gilbert C. Walked.
The Legislature adjourned after reading the
Governor’s message.
The Governor, in his message, of which extracts
were sent at noon, expresses Iris conviction that the
Legislature would ratify the fifteenth amendment
voluntarily, and even if it was not requisite to ad
mission,-he recommends tho appointment at this ses
sion of standing committees, in view of the fact
that onr educational and judiciary systems must bo
remodeled and placed in harmony with the Consti
tution, and our internal improvements demand the
gravest consideration.
The caucus of the Conservative members of tho
Legislature to-night resolved to adopt tho four
teenth and fifteenth amendments at once. In the
Joint Committeo on tho Governor’s message, a pro
position by Snowden,of Alexandria, to add to tbe bill
a clause passing the Fifteenth amendment, showing
that it was done because it was requisite to the ad
mission of the State, was rejected, only two of the
Committeo voting in favor of it. To-morrow an
amendment will bo offered in the Houso to mako
the adoption of the fifteenth amendment condi
tional on the admission of the Stato.
The New York Herald, of Saturday, says of
the late crash in 'Wall street: “The crisis in
Wall street seems to have passed. Affairs yes
terday were brighter than on any previous day
since the commencement of the panto a week
ago, and every one is now hopeful that by Mon
day the danger will have passed away. A very
large proportion of Friday’s transactions have
been settled by mutual agreement between
contracting parties, and, with the prevention
of coercive measures and the encouragement
to continued forbearance and co-operation
among sufferers by the crash, it is expected
that not only will tottering bones be preserved,
bnt firms already bankrupt will be re-estab
lished.” JuS ;
From ‘Washington.
Washington, October 7.—Private dispatches still
indicate tbe election of Andy Johnson, though tho
StokeB party may hold the balance of power and
compel a compromise. Ballotting must commence
on or before the 17th and continue daily until a
choice is effected.
In the Supreme Court to-day, the case of Herring
ton vs. Smith & Hartley, involving transactions in
Confederate Treasury notes at the South during the
war, was argued by Phillips, for tho appollant. The
appeller not appearing, tho action was upon a noto
for ten thousand dollars, made at Montgomery, Nov.
26th, and payable one day after date. The defence
mainly was that at tho date of the noto there was
no lawful currency in circulation in Alabama; that
the medium of exchange was at tho timo Treasury
notes of the Confederate States, and that tho con
tract was made with the understanding and agree
ment that it Bhould bo discharged in Buch Confed
erate notes, and not in money lawful or current by
the Unitod States.
Tho caso of Farrington vs. Sanders, from West
Tennessee, will be argued soon. It involves tho
constitutionality of the cotton tax.
There is more activity than usual in tho Navy
Yard here. The Kipsio and Kansas have been or
dered to prepare for sea immediately. Tho Nipsie
will ho ready in ton, and the Kansas in twenty days.
Suits in ejectment havo been brought in tho Sum
ter Superior Court, for the Andersonville cemetery
property. Judge Lochrane, of Georgia, has been
employed by tho Government to defend these cases.
Revenue to-day, $594,000.

Newer Raise a Child bj the Hand or
Wrist.
It is a common practice of nurses and parents
to grasp children by a single hand or wrist, and
lift them bodily, as in stepping over gutters,
streams, etc. Occasionally a child is seized by
the hands and swung aronnd with great. force,
the body being held nearly at right angles. This
feat is not always followed by immediate -ill
effects, but it is liable to result in a most serious
injury. At this period of life the ends of the
long bones are united to the shafts by cartilage,
which renders them weak and liable to be dis
torted by force. There* are three of these bones
in the arm; one between the Bhonlder and elbow,
and two between the elbow and wrist. The arm
of the child is, therefore, very weak. 'When ex
tension is made at the hand, the force is not ex
pended npon long firm bones, bnt rather upon
bones broken at several points and very loosely
united. A small force, far less than is required
to fracture a fully formed bone, will separate
the cartilaginous portions or permanently bend
them. There is also another form of injury
which may occur at the instant. Of this I have
seen several examples. It consists in a slight
displacement of tho cartilages on one of the
joints, either the wrist or elbow, attended by
pain, swelling and tenderness. The joint is
fixed in a semi-flexed position, and the little suf
ferer will not allow it to be moved or handled.
It can be easily rectified by a surgeon, by forci
ble flexion and extension. Finally, by lifting a
child in this manner the ligaments ‘about the
joints may be extended, and this will weaken
the joints, and this weakness may remain as a
permanent disability.—Vrorn the Note-book of
an Eminent Physician, in Hearth and Home.

Great .Southern Piano Manufactory.
Wabbenton, N. C., Sept. 23, 1869.
Editor Republican—When I was on a visit to
tho growing and flourishing city of Baltimore,
in March last, I wrote you relative to the piano
factory of Messrs. Knabe& Co., which afforded
me much pleasure in going through and ex
amining the different apartments, and at the
same time I informed yon that an addition was
in contemplation and perhaps would soon be
commerfted.
On the 30th of July I was in Baltimore again,
and Mr. Wm. Knabe very kindly invited me to
take another look at his unsurpassed operations
in the manufacture of pianos. I took a seat in
his carriage and was soon in front of this build
ing, which is not only an ornament, but an hon
or to tho city of Baltimore and the entire South,
for now we can boast ot the largest, most mag
nificent and best regulated piano factory in the
United States, commenced, completed and
owned by men who are worthy of onr support
and patronage, not only on account of their hon
esty, industry, enterprise and energy, but who
endeared themselves to every true Southern pa
triot by most liberal acts of kindness to onr un
fortunate countrymen during the late war, when
ever opportunity offered.
The large addition to his factory is just com
pleted, and the entire building has been remod
eled for the better arrangement of the several
departments of the work, so that as the man-
facture of an instiument progresses it passes
regularly from floor to floor and room to room
until it is ready for nse. The factory now has
a front of two hundred and ten feet on Entaw
street and one hundred and fifty-six feet on
West street, and covers, with the lumber houses
and yards, an area of nearly two and a quarter
acres.
The whole building is five stories high, and
on the roof is a handsome cupola, which over
looks the entire city, and from which there is a
magnificent view of Patapsco river, and the
beautiful hills and valleys for miles around; it
is also well supplied with water, lights and fix
tures, comforts and conveniences whioh the best
skill in the science of modem architecture conld
devise. By these improvements the capacity
for making pianos has been increased from
twenty-five to forty-five per week, giving em
ployment to abont four hundred men of skill and
experience, for they will not employ any man
unless he can produce undoubted evidence of
these qualities. The long drying process through
which the lumber must pass before it is made is
one of the causes of the unequaled durability and
the fall, rich, mellow tone whioh characterize
the Knabe piano above all others. I saw one in
a private house, which had been in almost con
stant nse for thirteen years, and yet the tone
was full, freBh, sweet and mellow, as though it
had just received the finishing touch from the
hands of the master musician at the factory.
Knowing that many fathers contemplate buy
ing pianos for their daughters this winter, and
schools and colleges are springing up all over
the South, and mnst have instruments for the
use of pupils, and having known the Knabe
piano for several years, visited the factory and
examined closely every department, and become
satisfied-that f%M and ample justioe is done to
every part by the most experienced workmen,
I have written this letter for their benefit, and
trust that every one who wants a piano will go
or send to onr own Sonthern city of Baltimore,
and patronize men who are polite, worthy, mag
nanimous and honest
Another evidence of the superiority of these
pianos,is the fact that Messrs. Knabe & Co.
have received the medals, premiums and prizes
at every fair where they have exhibited one of
their instruments, whether of the grand, square
or upright kind. ^ J. L. M.
From Houston County.—The local of tho Tele
graph has an interesting and valuable correspond
ent, who flourishes ou the Southwestern railroad,
and from whom he occasionally receives a few in
teresting items of news. He handed in the follow
ing yesterday:
Mr. Local: Allow me to give you my dottinga
collected after getting a stop-over ticket at Brown’s
Station, on the Southwestern railroad. ■ I was hon
ored, recently, with a ride in the country from that
point, by Judge Eli Hill, who drives a splendid span
of horses, of the Morgan stock, raised on his own
farm, and who is one of those model farmers that
raise all their stock and supplies at home.
We drove out to look at some lands in the neigh
borhood, which were far better than those who
travel through that country without getting and
using stop-over tickets would ever suppose. These
lands have a good clay body and are susccptiblo of
great improvement. By proper culture they will
yield from one-half to a bale of cotton per acre,
and with a reasonable quantity of fertilizers, will
yield double that amount. There are large portions
of these lands which could be bought, or leased to a
good tenant, at reasonable rates; such rates aB
would give the tenant time to make the purchase
money. There are bottom lands in the neighbor
hood which will yield fifty bushels of com per acre
this year.
I give you this information for the encourage
ment of those who aro desirous of going to work to
get permanent homes for themselves and families,
which is infinitely better than going to Cuba to get
employment in tbe hazardous game of war.
The freedmenh&ve all done well in this section
this year. Several of this class are now preparing
to farm on their own hook next year; but I think it
is rather a bad conclusion, on their part, as I find
but few who do not require the white man, or did
master to dictate to and direct them. I find this to
be one of the moBt pleasant neighborhoods in the
country, and has only to be known to be thickly
settled np. I send you a few natural or geological
curiosities in tbe shape of Bhell-stone, gathered on
the South side of Mossy Creek, in which you will
find a quantity of sea-shell embedded in flint rock—
some again having the appearance of diamonds and
well cut glass. Should these prove real diamonds,
don’t say much about it until we supply our small
families with a few of them. Yours truly,

Fixing Up.—In passing through Tineville to the
Laboratory the other day, we noticed that several
of the many beautiful family residences with which
the place abounds, were repairing, painting and
“fixing up” in very handsome style. Like some of
the young ladies we know of, they must be “setting
their caps” to catch beaux during the Fair.
YTo also noticed that there was considerable room
for improvement in the condition of the road lead
ing through Tineville. It will bo thronged with ve
hicles and pedestrians going to and returning from
the Laboratory during the Fair, and should be put
in the best possible condition. The ngly-looking
pond, or rather mudhole, in the road just beyond
Vineville, whore a small branch crosses, Bhould be
attended to. It will havo to be bridged over. We
understand that so Boon as it runs and the surface
of tho road is softened, the work will commence
for putting it in good order.

Macon, Ga., Oct. 7, I860.
Editors Telegraph :—Please allow me space in
your widely circulated and inestimable journal to
correct an erroneous impression that may havo been
made npon the minds of many, by “Rusticus,” in
his letter published in the Eufaula Weekly News,
of the 5th inst.
In the latter part of his letter, comparing the
cost per sack of transporting salt now and before
the war, he says: “That mammoth monopoly, the
Georgia Central Railroad, if I mistake not, charges
$142 for freight alone, from Savannah, Ga. to Eu-
faula.” I speak knowingly when I say the tariff on
salt from Savannah to Enfanla by the Central Rail
road and Southwestern Railroad is fifty-five (55)
cents per sack, except when it Is to be nsed for ag
ricultural purposes, then it is charged only (25)
twenty-five oenta per 100 pounds. Cms.

A Little Stealing Nipped in the Bud.—Yester
day morning that vigilant and faithful young officer
of our police force, Henry Ferrell, was stationed on
Cherry street, between Second and Third, and in
passing along in front of J. M. Seisel’a store, he
carelessly rapped on three goods boxes with his
cudgel. The first box rapped gave an empty sound,
but the quick ear of the officer detected the differ
ence in sound when he struck the Beoond box, and
to satisfy himself he examined it more closely, when
he became satisfied it was filled with something,
and was placed between two empty boxes with fel
onious intentions by some one. He took it in oat
of the weather and reported the matter to Mr. Sei-
sel, when it was fonnd that the box was filled with
fancy dry goods, and some of the articles were the
costliest Mr. 8. had in store. He had been moving
tbe day before, and the draymen had evidently en
deavored to conceal the box, in the manner de
scribed, until after nightfall, when they oould cany
it off; but having no opportunity to do so, the little
piece of thieving was nipped in the bud.
