THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTIONALIST A. PROCLAMATION. It becomes all men, who individually recog nize and adore the Supreme Ruler of the Uni verse, laying aside, at times, their several avoca tions, simultaneously to bow before His Throne —to render thanks for bessings shared by all, and to supplicate protection and advancement lor interests common to all. The people of Gergia have much to be thank ful for—and very much to pray for. To destitution, nnparalled in their history, the result of protracted war, an abundant har vest has succeeded. .Pestilence, which, among neighboring people, has slain its thousands, been unknown within their borders. Subject ed to a form of government not of their own choosing, nor congenial to their cherished love of liberty, and menaced with social disorder, aiwl popular commotion, by the evil machina tions of unofficial intruders and agitators, yet, patiently awaiting the prevalence of better counsels, they find to-day that apprehended tumult and violence have thus far been averted by an unseen Power, greater than that of all earthly agents and potentates. 1 hose and many other blessings, earnestly besought m the past, call for devoutly grateful acknowledgment of their present realization. Whatever of physical, social or spiritual good they may property desire, it is their priv ilege, and their duty, to implore at the Mercy seat of Omnipotence : Therefore, I, Charles J. Jenkins, Governor of the State of Georgia, do issue this my procla mation, appointing Thursday, the 28th day of November instant, as a day of public thanks givinu and prayer and do earnestly invite my fellow-citizens, during its brief space, to close their places of business and to open their sanctuaries—to lay aside their secular cares and engagements, and to celebrate it by commu nion with God. G ivcn under my band and the seal of the Ex ecutive Department at the Capitol In MilledgeviJle, this Bth day of November, A. D. 1807. Charles J. Jenktns. Political. —Among the numerous rumors in Charleston, says the Courier , of Monday, is one that Chaplain French and a leading politi cian of the Republican party, recently arrived from Washington, have made application to Gen. Can by to postpone the election of a State Convention. They give as a reason that a num ber of prominent Republican members of the House of Representatives have agreed to so modify the reconstruction acts as to include a much larger proportion of the whites of the South among the enfranchised classes. Many of the Radicals at the North have become alarmed at flic recent elections, and are now anxious to propose or adopt more conciliatory measures. Having, they say, yielded at the last sessiou to the views of Thad. Stevens, Sunnier and other leaders, and the election having gone against them, they now demand that Stevens, Sumner and others shall co-operate with the more mod erate wing of the party. It is also rumored that Gen. Grant, if run as the Republican candidate for President of the United States, will do so only upon a modified platform. One great cause of the unpopularity of negro suffrage at the North was said to be the disposition evinced by the blacks at the South to thrust everywhere their own color forward, both for local and Congressional of fices. This course, it was feared by many lead ing Republicans, would seriously injure, if not totally deleat their party. We only give these rumors as some of the on dits of the day. University op Georgia.— The Journal $ Messenger of the 15th says : We the Hoard of Trustees of this a sliorl and pleasant session in the Thf report of the Chancellor con diiion of the University to be— much more so than could rea sonably anticipated under the po<g^^^Veum- I ■ o r ninety are m. about one hundred in the and iudigent soldiers —nearly iu all! The Cotton Tax.— The Macon Journal and Messenger , of the 12th, says: “We learn lrorna prominent fellow-citizen (Col. E. S. Shorter), who has been in correspondence with Senator Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, says the Eu faula News, iu reference to repealing the tax on our great Southern staple, that he has received letters from the Senator, and also from Mr. Colfax, the Speaker of the House of Represen tatives, announcing themselves in favor of a prompt repeal of the tax of two-and-a-half corns per pound ou cotton, and making the repealing law retro-acting iu its operation, so it will go back to the first ot last September.” Try It.—We read occasionally of deaths from burning. If the following is reliable, it is to be regretted that the process of rendering the ma terials of ladies’ muslin dresses uninflammable is not more generally understood and used.— “ Either of three substances —phosphate of am monia, tungstate of soda, and sulphate of am monia—cau be mixed in the starch, and, at the cost of two cents a dress, deaths from burned garments can be reudered impossible. Articles of apparel subjected to these agents can, if they burn at all, only smoulder. If everyVme who wears out the chair bot toms, and encourages idleness by lounging around the store doors, would go to work, how many more roses would bloom in Eutoutou next spriug, than will, if this loafiug business is continued ? —Eatonton News. Good as wheat! But would it uot be, Beebe, better to raise grain, have plenty of flour and leav* the roses and other flowers to those dear Pinks of animated perfection—the ladies. Death of one of the Aztec Children.— Since the opening of Dan Gastello’s great show in this city there has been on exhibition adjoin ing it, but disconnected, we believe, with this circus company, a young man and his sister, the former about twenty-five years of age and the latter about lourteen, both of whom were deformed, and have evidently been idiotic from birth. They were generally known as the Aztec Children, and their peculiar physical conforma tions made them objects ot sufficient attraction to exhibit to the public for a pecuniary consid eration. On Monday the man sickened, died, and was yesterday buried iu Magnolia Ceme tery, as we learn- Os the history or antecedents of these unfortunate chib.ren we could gain uo particulars.— Charleston Courier, 107/i. European News. The Scotia arrived at New York on the 12th with dates from Liverpool to the 2d and Queens town 3d. At a meeting of the shareholders of the Eng land American Bank in London, the reso ution previously passed in favor of the con firmed TO * wound up, was con- At the meeting of the Grand Trunk, of Can ada, Railway Company, it was stated that the total loss sustained by the company, from 1862 to June last, in American currency, amounted to no less than £311,000 sterling. Much excitement prevailed in Dublin con sequent on the shooting of two police officers by a supposed Fenian. The wound in each case it was feared would prove mortal. Some arrests had been made of suspected persons. A reward of £I,OOO sterling had been offered by the Government for information which should the conviction, and of £-300 for information which should lead to the arrest of the perpetrator of the outrages. ♦v ® ubJin commenced on the -'oth of October. The prisoner Warren was first tried, and was foundguiltv. Sentence was deferred. A great.l rotestant demonstration had taken place at Hillsborough, Ulster, and passed off quietly, the Marquis of Downshire presided. The trial at Manchester of the Fenian pris- U ' Q - O’Meara Allen, | Machael Larkin, \\ uliam Gould, Thomas Maguire and Edward Shore, who were indicted for the murder of Charles Brett on the 18th of September, was concluded on the Ist. inst. The jury were ab sent abont an hour and twenty minutes, and on returning gave a verdict of “Guilty” against all five prisoners. Oh being asked if they had anything to saw they all made impassioned ad dresses. Alleif and Larkin expressed regret coneerning-the death of Brett, but maintained the righteousness of their act, and dwelt on the wrongs of Ireland. Maguire and Shore pro tested their utter innocence. Gould avowed himself an American citizen, and complained that Mr. Adams (the American Minister) had not rendered him some assistance. The usual proclamation was then made, and both Judges put on the black caps. Mr. Justice Mellor,addressing some remarks to the prisoners, passed the following sen tence : I have now only the solemn duty which devolves upon me, to pass uj)on you the sentence of the law. That sentence is, that you and each of you be taken hence to the place whence you cume, and thence to a place of ex ecution, and that you be there hanged by the neck until you shall be dead, and that your holies be afterwards buried within the pre sets of the prison wherein you were last con fined, after youi* respective convictions, and may God in his infinite mercy have mercy upon you. J Before the prisoners left the bar they reached over and shook hands with Messrs. Jones, Cot tingham and Roberts. The court adjourned at twenty minutes past 8 o’clock. Bombay advices to October 14 contain Urn following: The advance brigade of the Abys sinian field force, under Col. Field, of the 10th Native Infantry, left Bombay for Massowah on the 7th instant. H. M. S. Totiilite is to assist in landing the troops and stores. A depot will he established ot Massowah, and the advance brigade will probably march sixty miles into the interior of the country. Up to October 12, twenty-five vessels had been chartered for trans port service b}- the Bombay Government. Another Murder —The steamer St. Helena, Captain Boyle, arrived from Rockville last evening, bringing the murdered body of Peter Lockwood, a young and well behaved colored man of this city, aged about Iwenty-four or twenty-five. Peter went to Rockville a day or two ago, where he was to have been married yesterday. On Saturday night he and several ol his colored friends had a dancing party, which broke up quietly at one o’clock. Peter then retired to a small room adjoining the kitchen of Dr. Daniel J. Townsend, and between that hour and four o’clock yesterday morning he was most brutally murdered, his head being clove in two with a hatchet. The murderer left the hatchet behind, but no clue to the perpetra tor of this foul crime has yet been obtained, except that it is known that one of his own color did the deed, as.a negro wrapped up in white was seen hurriedly leaving Peter’s room through the window, before, it was known, however, that a murder had been committed. The pockets of the deceased were rifled and turned inside ont. He lived about two hours alter the fatal blow, but was entirely insensible during that time. As w-e mentioned above, Peter was to have been married yesterdav, and it is strongly suspected that some rival in a fit of jealousy committed the deed. An inquest will be held to-day by Coroner Whiting. [Charleston Mercury, Ilf/;. Alabama and Georgia Railroad.— The work on this road has commenced in good ear nest, and we congratulate our citizens with the prospect of a large increase of population, such as will astonish the most sanguine. This road is the great connecting link between New York and New Orleans, and we venture the as sertion that there is not a point between the two cities that has greater natural advantages than Rome. The bridge at this place is to he completed by the first of January. The work will then proceed from both ends ot the road, the Rome train running on this end until the connexion is made. The work from Blue Mountain, to six miles this side of Jacksonville, will be com pleted as rapidly as the iron can be laid down, the grading to that point having been com pleted. We may reasonably suppose, with good weather, that the staging on the line will be reduced to forty miles, a day run, by the Ist of February. We are reliably informed that every effort will be made to complete the road to this place by the Ist of July, though we doubt its com pletion before the first of October or Novem ber. Persons wishing to buy property in this city should invest at oucc, as one year from to-day property will advance twenty-five per cent. f Rome Commercial. Mr. H. O. Morrill, of Baltimore, has made a wonderful clock. His extra time for the last fourteen years has been devoted to its perfec tion, and it is indeed the wouder of the age The space necessary to display its capacity and operation is nine feet by eighteen feet. It run« eight days, and performs as follows : It wakes up a household. Strikes the quarters by four automatons on four bells. Sonnds the alarm to awaken the master of the house. Lights a lamp and kindles a fire in the stove. A car : riage is seen eoming aloug a mountain road, | calls at a place of business, and gets a clock i left for repair. The bell is rung to awaken a j servant, who rises in the presence of the au ! dience and draws the curtain of her chamber to i make her toilet. The carriage is again seen j upon the road; when near a rocky covert a ! robber springs iu front of the horses, and a , fight ensues. A farmer by the roadside, uot I seeing the robber, commences to belabor the horses, when a hunter in the distance compre j hends the situation, fires his rifle at the rob : ber, who escapes to the mountain, and the car i riage with its inmates drives on to its destiua | lion. All this is done by the machinery of this unrivalled clock, which is said to beau admira j ole timer. — j A horrid murder was committed in this 1 county on Mr. Benjamin Myrick’s plantation ; on the Ttb inst., by Jackson Thomis, colored, lon Reuben, also a freedman. A quarrel arising between them while they were by them«elves, Jackson literally cut to pieces Reuben and then buried him. Reuben being missed and perhaps blood being seen on Jackson's clothes, excited suspicion, and after search, Reubeu was found as stated. Jack son has been arrested and com mitted to jail for trial. Both uegroes had belonged to General My rick j MilledgerUle Recorder.
