The premises have undergone a complete reno vation, and everything looks nice and clean. jsg* We would like to accommodate a “ Perfect Brick,” but long established rules cannot be violated. Brick-bats are very ugly things, but a “ Perfect Brick” is some to be admired. Fruit is coming into market very plentifully now. Prices are falling. The peach crop is very abundant. Those that have reached market as yet, are quite small. We hope there is something better yet to come, in that line. £3T* We are pleased to see the repairs that are constantly going on upon our streets. They have been too long neglect ed. We desire very much to see Macon as clean and neat as it was before the war. Its appearance was complimented by every stranger who visited here. . u Southern Christian Advocate. —This ex cellent Christian journal has made its ap pearance once more upon our table. We welcome it back, as one of our old friends. The present number is sent out as a speci men, and to let the world known that there is some life yet in the church. As the only publication of the M. E. Church, South, it certainly ought to be liberally sustained, perfainjy that large denomination, so able to sustain, will not let it wane for want of support, The subscription price is only $3 00 per year. Let this paper be found in every Methodist household. Mayor's Court. —Valentine and Roy, two gems of color, were before the Mayor for hauling wood from the city reserve. They were fined, one sls, the other $lO and cost, and dismissed with the injunction “ go and sin no more.” pharles, a “henpecked cuffy/’made rath er a novel demand of his Hpner. Him his “ ole ’oman” could’nt get along to gptjier, at least peaceably, (hp had just given her a soqnii flogging,) and desired the Mayor to give him a divorce, It being anew item oi business, it rather confused his Honor, and the darkey was referred to higher authority. Charly was compelled to pay cost, for whipping his wife, and was Recommended to unmarry the same way that he was married, having never been married at all.

JFAiVe.—This gentlemanly soldier has been recently appointed Com mandant of this Post. By the fidelity with which he discharged the duties of Provost Marshal, he won the confidence of the peo ple. And now that he has beeqpromoted a more important command, we may ®xpect the interests of the community more closely guarded. His order which may be found in another column, in regard to the selling of ardent spirits, is but the beginning oi better times. This was . a bold stroke,* but a very necessary on *, and while Col. White may invoke the invectives of a small class of persons, lie will have the testimony of an approving conscience, and the grati tude of the larger and more respectable portion of the community. No oqe is more awakened to the danger arising from the free use of ardent spirits arnoug soldiers, than Col. White himself. He is also con scious of the mischief that would result from the easy access to drink, by the thou sands of negroes that throng our vicinity. Although strictly ordered from headquar ters not to sell whiskey to soldiers, and positively against the city ordinance to re tail it to negroes, yet there were men mean enough to do both. And for this disobedi ence to law and regulations, the whole traffic is closed by one sweeping order. The Provost Court and Mayor’s Court will lose half their business, now that this “mon ster” is chained. Again, we must in the name of the community thank Col. White for his action in this matter. Laying of ihe Atlantic Cable. From the London Tines.J The present Atlantic cable is just twenty three hundred nautical miles, or in rough numbers, about twenty-six hundred miles long. The central conductor is composed of seven fine copper wires, twisted into one com plete strand, which is insulated with Chat terton's patent compouud. Outside this come four distinct layers of gutta percha eaoh also insulated with the same material that encloses the conductor. Outside the gutta percha again are wound eleven stout iron wires, each of which, before being twist ed on, is itself carefully wound round with strands of hemp, soaked with tar. Thus, then, there are no less than twenty-five thousand miles of copper wire in the con ductor, about thirty-five thousand miles of iron wire in the outside covering, and up wards of four hundred thousand miles of strands of hemp, more than enough in all to vo twenty-four times round the world. The cable has been made on an average at the rate of seventeen miles per day com plete, and in some days its outside cover ing of hemp and iron has been overlaid at the rate of one hundred and seventy-three miles a day, though not a fathom or a foot has been manufactured without every part being kept under constant test for “ con ductivity” and insulation, and to this hour it is as regularly tested as it was a year ago, when the first mile was twisted. .In strength the cable is equal to bearing a strain of seven and three-quarter tons, while its specific gravity is so low that it can with safety be depended on to support eleven miles of its length in water. It has been made mile by mile, joined up in long lengths of seven and eight hundred miles, and shipped on board the Great Eastern into three enormous tanks. Five hundred miles have still to be stowed away on board, and it will take a fortnight to oomplete this work, though the last mile of the coil will come through the machines of the telegraph works at 3 o’clock on Mon day next. All three tanks are kept filled with water, and when each is stored with cable as well, the ends of the wire will be joined up, and a constant system of signals keept through every part from the moment the expedition starts till the cable is laid.- The mere cable, however, is but an item in the mass of heavy weights the Great Eastern will have to carry on this occasion. Her draught of water will be rather over than under thirty feet, and, all told, her weights, when starting from Valentis, will come near the stupendous mass of«§eighteen thousand tdtns. They are all however, stowed high,' and so according to present arrangements, it is believed that the Great Eastern will start in the very early part of July, and certainly, if possible, not later than the 13th. It is intended, if possible, not to let the vessel go beyond a speed of six knots, a minimum of velocity which it will be diffi cult to keep to if steerage way is wanted quickly, and which will, we think, be found absolutely impossible to retain in a seaway. Qn this occasion, however, the middle of July is chosen as being thought even more fayorablp in point of weather than the mid dle of June, when the last Agamemnon cruise was commenced. Captain Ander son, we believe, is in favor ol starting to wards the early part of J uly, and his long experience in command of the China has very properly induced the directors to give every weight to his opinion. With ordi narily fair weather, and steaming at the rate of six knofs, it is expected that the voyagb from Valentia to the Bay of Heart’s Content in Newfoundland will occupy from twelve to fourteen days, during every hour of which regular communication will be kept up with England, Prince Napoleon Repentant. —Within the last few days Prince Napoleon, accord ing to the statements of h’s friends at the Palais Royal and Meudou, has returned to better sentiments, and that instead of wishing to brave the Emperor, he is pre pared to recognize the fault he has com mitted. He persists, nevertheless, in his resignation of the Vice-Pre idency of the Privy Council, which assuredly no one will object to, but he will retain his functions as President of the Universal Exhibition. The resolution is all the more proper, inas much as the Prince of Wales, as Presi dent of the English Commission, would be forced to resign if Prince Napoleon did not again place himself at the head of the French Commission, the Prince'of Wales being unable to act on terms of equality except with a member of the Imperial family. Musical Gossip.—The Paris papers say that an Arab singer will soon appear in that city whose voice is so immense, that she sings all parts for all voices. They don’t inform us whether she sings them all at once. We would suggest that some en terprising manager engage her as a quar tette club, and thus save traveling expen ses. It may be on account of our ignorance of anatomy, but we really don’t see how she oan sing two parts simultaneously, unless she is twins. Tfce Title of the President. The editor of a Providence paper en lightens his readers upon titles, and snvg of the Presi *enf, be is uot “ Honorable,” like the members of Congress, Senators and Judges of the Superior^ nnd Inferior Courts; he is not, ‘‘His Excellency,*/ like Governors and Ambassadors. lie is simplj “the President.” This is not only a matter of usage, but it has been settled by Con gresa A p oposition was made to give an official title to the President, and*the one that was received with the most favor* wa* “His Highness the President of the United States and the Protector of their Liberties.” But, after discussion, it was decided that the title should bo The President. The dignity and simplicity of this is far more effective than any of those swelling titles that have comedown to us from barbarous times. Any other title is ridiculous, vulgar and snobbish. Lion Tamer “ Chawed Up.”—A lion tamer, says the New Albany Ledger, at tached to the Combination Circus, while “ taming” with \i cowhide a refractory lioness in Terre Haute, last week, had several fingers gnawed off.
