Diminished la bor and Radical legislation won’t advance the value of real estate. Mules and fertilizers now are our best reliance. Glorious At last, weeping nature exhausting her copious flow of tears, reveals her pleasant countenance,- wreathed with sunny smiles.

Dixson, a few weeks since was robbed of a large amount of bacon, stored in his smoke house, by some thief, who under mined the wall of the building, and thus effected an entrance. On Monday night last the repentant bacon lover re-entered the apartment, and kindly re stored one piece of the meat. It is surmised that “ Tom and Jerry ” were the potent allies of Mr. Dixson. on this occa sion, the kind urbanity of that individual, to gether with the melting influences above named, having disarmed and subdued the heart of the criminal. We cant vouch for this, but Billy thinks so, and confidently recommends this bev erage as a softener of the conscience and recti fier of morals. To our vision it looks like a sly dodge to popularize a mixture already too great a favorite. Now Billy you must preach morals from some other (ext. it is a rum argument which maker, rum a reformer. Try again. Perhaps Dr. Teasdale had some thing to do with this unparalleled case of restitu tion. BTBy reference to our advertising to-day it will be seen that Dr. J. K. Harman is at the Brooks House for a few days, where those afflicted with the di-eases he proposes to treat, can have an interview. He brings good refer ences as to his skill and former success. lle unions Revival. —For several weeks, under tl»e actiwe and devoted efforts of Rev. Dr. T'eas dole as the principal human agent, an interesting work of grace has been in progress, in the Bap tist church iu our city. This venerable servant of the most High God. is lull of zeal and fervor, and though well striekeu in years, possesses pow ers of endurance, which might be sought for i n vaiu iu a far younger maa. His sermous have embraced a wide range of thought, and frequently were characterized by great force and pathos. It was hard to withstand bis appeals, and the walls of the fortress of error aud unbelief under his repleated assaults were at length breactied-, its ramparts carried, and the sacred banner of the cross elevated upon the bat tlements. Quite a number profess to have experienced a charge ol heart, among them several of very tender age, and many ore inquiring the way of salvation. The Doctor preached again last night, and bade »dieu to the people for whom he had labored so faithfully. -Rev. Mr. Warren ot Macon is here, and will aid Mr. Daniel iu the further continu ance of the meeting. llousu»Talk. —Mr. Jones —“Friend Smith of whom did you purchase that fine looking horse V’ Mr. Suit Hi--" This horse? why my dear Sir, I Lave owned him uine years.’’ Mr. J—“ You dqn’tsay that is old Bob? why what in the world has brought him oat so ?” Mr. St—“l have.just been giving him a dose of the Central City Condition Powders in wet food’ once a day, for ten days. lie began improving at onre, and «t the expiration of the ten days, I baldly knew him, myself, I always intedd to have a box of the Central City Condition Pow ders, in my house.

In the absence of brick or stone pave nreßts, no better expedient cam be resorted to. The gravel becomes mixed with, and trodden into the clay soil, forming a hard and smooth amal gam, delightful to walk upon. Those affected with rheumatism should not fail 10-read the advertisement of J s G. Gib. son. He furnishes many very flattering testimo nials, some from this county. True to their Training.— Walking near the Baptist Church, a few evenings since, we en countered a buxom darkey running like mad along the streets. “What is the matter?” we asked. “ Oh, nothing, sir,” she rejoined, “Ise been to the white folk’s meeting, but tought 1 beard we preacher, and am gwi e to my church.” Sure enough, the thunders of the ebon parson were even then rousing tne distant echoes amid bill and forest. On weut the pious creature, and soon her voice also, doubtless, went to swell the quaint refrain, whose monotonous cadence fell upon the ear. Even in religion the races are rapidly bccom ing two people. Let us give our colored friends the gospel, and strive to counteract the fanati cism and superstition so rife among them. The Peak Family .—One of the largest and most fashionable audiences that ever graced the elegant new Hall of Dr. Powell, greeted the re turn of this Interesting troupe to our eitw. Every member of the family seemed in perfect health, and all engaged with spirit in the various performances, and acquitted themselves hand somely. The applause of the auditory was frequent and rapturous. Jj) the entertainments of this interesting and gifted family, the most exacting moralist, or ascetic prude can find nothing to condemn. Their w hole hearing is refined and #nd it is evident that as gentlemen and ladies, they have moved in the best society. It is re freshing to note such exceptions to the usual rule of traveling performers’ and stock com panies. The music of these silver bells, so rapiuly and skilfully handled, is unique and delightfu'. The singing and acting too were excellent. We shall not soon forget the pleasant hour of relaxation and amusement for which we are in debted to the Peaks. Elfire Nursery. —Attention is called to the advertisement in to-day’s paper of the Empire Nursery near Georgetown, Ga., Mr. Surles, the proprietor, has taken great pains to produce varieties adopted to tkie climate and parties ordering from him run no risk of the climate injuring or destroying their settlings as is frequently the case with those brought from a northern climate.

P- BiChamax, Secretary, Public Friday at Andrew Female Col bketi-—The first of the usual series of public en tertainments for the present year, came off in the Co!tegs Chapel on Friday afternoon last. It was our privilege to be a delighted auditor, nnd right cheerfully do we accord that mede of praise which is so eminently due to the young ladies. The exercises consisted of dialogues, the re hearsal of selected pieces, aud original essays Os these there were ten in number, covering a large and diversified field of thought, which, in not a few instances, was so cultivated, as to give promise of a rich harvest at maturity. We have no space to particularize, nor would it be seemly and in good taste to do so. The de_ livery of the young ladies on the whole was good, and their enunciation distinct and suffi ciently audible. Many of them will make fine readers. So also with the recitative performances.— These wore entered into with spirit, and a proper appreciation of the meaning and intent' of the originals. We were glad to see reproduced the affecting scene between Cassius and Brutus, and other sterling productions of antiquity, which modern authors essay in vain to imitate. The exercises closed with an original poem called “ Growlers and Grumblers, - * which was spicy and amusing, and quite creditable to the young authoress. It affords us real gratification to state, that Dr. Hamilton’s excellent institution was never in a more prosperous and satisfactory condition.— Over one hundred pupils are in attendance, of whom fifty are from abroad, and members of his household. Avery large proportion of these are just verging upon womanhood, and we never saw collected together, a more robust and at tractive assemblage of young ladies. Physical training is doing wonders for the deveiopmea of their lungs and chests. The Doctor will have magnificent material for the commencement per formances, which annually attract so vast a crowd to our city. Before closing this little sketch, we would again impress upon the patrons of the college, the urgent necessity for the prompt settlement of their board and tuition dues, to enable the inde fatigable President to maintain his ground, and meet the enormous expense of his establishment. Oar own city and county too, with a very small effort, might double the compliment of pu pils in attendance. This is'an enterprise in which all are interested, and it is already a bless ing to the State, and enjoys an extended reputa tion abroad. Let it ne_ver languish from the criminal neg lect and indifference of our own people. HARRISON & PRICE, BOOT AinD SHOE MAKERS In reir of Barber Shop, Cuthbert, Ua.

The Military Districts have acted under coercion bjr the standing army. If they do not succeed in getting Dis tricts, we suggest that they* run the thing through a few Women’s Rights Conventions, to complete it . Savannah News. The Value of Water Power. We find the following paragrpli ‘-go ing the round” among our exchanges; ‘Ten thousand horse power at Lowell Massachusetts, has collected a popula tion of 40,000 and produces an annual value in manufacturers of $24,000,000. Fall River lias a population of 23.000, and a valuation of $17,000,000. Law rence, with a power equal to Lowell’s, has already a population of 30,000. — Bidden ford and Saco, with 3,500 horse, have a population of 16,000; 4,200 horse in operation at. Lswistown have already collected 22,000 population and $8 000,000 valuation. In general a pop ulation of 1,000 may be looked for by each 116 horse power employed in tex tile or equivalent manufactures.” ft is mortifying to know that while their inferior water-power has done so much for the cities and towns above nara ed, the almost incalculable water power of Columbus and the country on the river just above it has done so little lor Georgia and Alabama. Tiie whole available water-power ot some of these Northern cities has bgen appropriated, while that of the Chattahooc.iee river is only partia-ly brought into use at two or three of its many tine falls, the great mass of its falling water being yet left in its natural freedom and wildness.— The principal manufacture to which the water power of these Now Lnglan.l cit* ies is appropriated, is that of Southern cotton, a good deal of it grown on the banks of the Chattahoochee ! The su perior enterprise of the New England ers in bringing into subjection and prao lical use the most of their water power, is not due to superior energy and sugac lty so much as to neoesity. Our people of the South have displayed equal ener gy m the culture of cotton, and have heretofore been satisfied in concentra ting their capital and labor in the pro duction of the raw material. But we rejoice to believe that they are daily turning their attention more an 1 more Jo the importance of manufacturing as well as producing, and that the changes wrought by political revolution will soon be followed by industrial reforms that will make our prosperity even greater than it was before the war. The water power oi the South is a great resource held in reserve, which can at any time be brought into use ip augmenting the wealth of the section and giving remunerative employment to its increasing population. Nov is the propitious time for bringing it into use now, while we so much need an influx of thrifty and intelligent white laborers now, while our old plantation system is deranged, probably beyond restora tion to its former importance and profit. Let our people—and especially those in the immediate neighborhood of fine wa ter-power —reflect upon what that pow er has done for New .England cities, and resolve that the resources of wealth and power at their own doois shall no longer remain undeveloped and unap propriated. — Columbus Enquirer. The total number of doaths in Augusta for the twelvo months ending- December is 555, of which 252 w.re whites and 303 were blacks. ... Judge Andrews. A few years ago this individual was esteemed an honest, mao and patriot despite his union proclivities. It seems however, his disgusting prin ciples and arrant treachery were -only kept iu abeyance by cowardice, and the force of circumstances. With the first success of Georgias worst enemies, he throws off the mask, and stauds forth prominency among the motiey throng, who are now feeding like cormorants up on the political corpse of a noble, but prostrate Common wealth. Hear him at the late Radical mass meeting in Atlanta. The honorable gentleman said he had another reason for coming on the stage. When he saw that flag with its stars and stripes, he felt as if he was at home a>»-ain. v It reminded him of the days of “auld jang syne,” when on the July fes tivities they used to siqg the national a j rS —Hail Columbia, the Star t’pangled Banner, and Yankee Doodle, and when the celebrated toast was always drunk “Dumb bo the tonguo that speaks. against, and paralyzed the arm raised against the Union.” That blue (point jo,,. to the banner) looks familiar—it is the blue my lather wore at Yorktown. And no wonder the wearer feels proud of it—it will make the tour of this North American Continent, for the flag which he follows, will, in the lifetime of some of them, lie hung from the North pole aud suspended on the equi noctial line. Here (holding up the trumpet of one of the band) the speak er Kvthi, soldier, I hope you may live to toot this trumpet on the North pole, and that your comrade may answer back from the banks of the Darien canal.— Once,.to say ‘T am a Roman citizen,” was a passport through the world, and then, more emphatically than ever, will the same honor and protection be eon ceded to tho citizen of the United States. '1 ho Speaker then said, now that all are beginning to get back home, and like hungry children begging for bread ask to be under tho National flag, this will not be called party politics, if it be, ‘make the must of it.’ The first question the speaker wished to take occasion ‘to improve,’ was not only the sin but impolicy of supporting the liberty of speech and the press, and abusing them by license. He then spoke of how they had been suppress’ ed before secession, when the bluo cock ade fluttered as defiantly and cruelly as the tricolar during the French revolu tion; how the Union press ref used, from apprehensions of danger, to publish his moderate Union articles, and by such suppression the damning sin of sCces sion finally was perpetrated. llow, after the battle of Gettysburg and the capture of Vicksburg, he thought his fellow-citizens would suffer him to show the desperation of the failing ‘cause,’ aud that then, the Confederacy should avail itself of the liberal terms which could havebeotijhad. Butfreespeechwas suppressed by threats of the rope, and we paid the heavy penalty of such sup pression, After showing fully the con sequences of suppression in other cases, the speaker then pointed out how the license of the freedom of speech and the press, on tho other hand, had brought the violators to the very ends they wished not to attain ; how it had contributed to elect President Grant and sustain Governor Bullock with the National administration. The blindness of their wrath preven ted them from seeing that such black guard abuse —which disgusted all do cent Democrat*— only engendered sym pathy for its object at the North ; bow Governor Bullock had friends and ac quaintances there who knew there nev er had been a breath uttered agains him as an honest man and gentleman before he became a politician, and, of course, their abuse ended as they might have expected, in making him the most pow erful man in all the State. It was well enough known that no reliance could be placed on the political operations of a press that dealt in such indiscriminate and vulgar abuse of one whose previous life had been so correct. After giving other instances how the abuse of the liberty of speech and the press had brought defeat on the authors, the speaker said he must stop here or he woufd be led into a political speech. All Fixed up Now* The consumation, which vve have all the time apprehended and warned our friends against, appears to have been reached at last. The Legislature is or ganized/ with an extreme Radical major ity in both branches. The vote on Thursday, on the question of giving to the defeated Radical candidates the seats vacated by declaring fifteen or twenty Democratic members ineligible, showed that Bullock had not then a safe majori ty, and the necessary measures (what ever they were) were resorted to lo pro cure a reversal of this vote on Friday. The decision on that day settled the question. Whether this decision is in accor dance with the State Constitution, tr with the Code, or with the Reconstruc tion acts, we do not propose to inquire. But we Wish to call attention to the out rageous distinction that lias vacated Democratic seats, and at the same time seated Radicals who labored under pre cisely tire same disability. If as Gen. Terry contended, and Gen Grant in dorsed, and Bullock demanded, the votes cast for the Democratic members elect were equivalent to blank votes be cause the Democrats were ineligible, why is it that the votes cast for Radical candidate who were ineligible at the time of the electiou, and whose disabilities have since been removed by Congress, were not also blank votes ? A number of them have been thus relieved only quite recently—among them Conley, President of the Senate; McWhorter, we think, had been regenerated, for some months. An act of Congress, re moving their disabilities, may have had the effect of making these Radicals eli• gible after its passage, but it certainly cannot be contended with any reason that it could reach back to the election aad vitalize the votes that the Code or .the Reconstruction acts rejects as blank votes and not to be counted. But this inconsistency is only in eulire keeping with the whole Reconstruction pro~ gram mo. —Columbus Enquirer.

Special to the Telegraph and Messenger] Atlanta , January 28. —The Senate met twice, and adjourned without doing any thing. In the House, a communication was read from Terry, saying ho approved of Bullock’s recommendation of yesterday relative to qualifying meTnbers iu place of those who were ineligible. A motion was made to reconsider the action of the House on yesterday, and the motion to reconsider, was carried by ayes 68 to nays 58, amid intense excite ment. Tweedy moved to'qualify these men at once, and the motion was carried by ayes 66 to nays 56, the excitement rag ing higher, and Bryant giving notice of protest, the Speaker persistently declar ing that he had ruled their swearing in to be in order, and refusing to entertain any motion, declaring everything and everybody out of order., Goodwin of Bartow, Thomasson of Carroll, Holcombe of Fulton, Johnson of Spalding, Armstrong of Dooly, and Nesbit of Gordon, svhites, and Guilford of Upson, Jackson- of Randolph, and Hutchings of Junes, colored, were sworn in. Newton was elected Messenger by 12, and Lineberger (white Democrat) doorkeeper by two majority. After the adjournment, Bryant and Tweedy had a fisticuff in the entry of the House. Bryant was overpowered by numbers, and suffered some loss of blood. Georgia. Atlanta , January 31. —The Senate spent the moruing session in discussing and arranging unimportant prelimina ries The Committee appointed to wait on the Governor reported that the Gover nor would notify the Commanding Gen eral of the organization of the two houses, ami would communicate with them on Wednesday. Brock introduced a resolution calling on Terry and Bullock to stop proceed ings on contracts prior to June, 1565, which was ruled out of order, on the ground that the organization of the two houses had not yet been recognized by Terry and Bullock. Bryant, in the House, offerered a pro test against the illegal organization of the House. After considerable discussion of this subject, the House adjourned till Wednesday. Speculation is rife on the cause of so long an adjournment. .Senator Ed. mund’s dispaich may have something to do with it. Members can’t understand why Bullock allows each member to draw three hundred dollars from the Treasury, which order was issued to day. Georgia. RESOLUTION TO HITCH CHATTANOOGA ON TO GEORGIA. The following resolution was offered by Mr. Nesbitt, of Dade, was laid over till Monday : Whereas, It is manifestly to the in terest of the people of the State of Geor that that portion of the State of Tennes see over which the Western and At lantic Railroad has been built, shall be come a part of the State of Georgia; and, whereas, a convention of the peo pie of the State of Tennessee and the General Assembly of said State are both now in session, and an opportunity pre sented for negotiation for the acquisition of so much of said State as may be necessary to accomplish this purpose.— Therefore be it Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia, in General assembly met, That His Ex cellency the Governor, be authorized, a&d he is h%tr*by directed, ttr appoint three commissioners from the House, two from the Senate, and ten from the State at large, who shall immediately proceed to the city of Nashville, iu the State ot Tennessee,#nd take such steps as may be deemed by them necessary, by negotiation with the Constitutional Convention of the State of Tennessee, or the Legislature of said State »6w iir session, to acquire, by purchase or oth erwise, and arid to the present limits of tho Slate of Georgia so much of the soil of the State of Tennessee, as may be in cluded iu the following boundaries, viz : begiun’ng at the diorthwestern corner of the present boundary of the State of Georgia, thence extending the present line between the State of Georgia and Alabama northwestwardly to the cem tre of the Tennessee river, thence with the centre ot said river, with its mean ders, to a point opposite the centre of the mouth of tiie South Chiekamanga creek, thence with the centre of said creek to where the right of way of the Western and Atlantic Railroad crosses said creek, then southwardly with the east side of the right of way of said railroad in such a manner as to in clude all of said right of wu.y in this new line to the present line between the State of Georgia and the State of Tennessee. Resolved, That said commissioners will, as soon as practicable, report their action in the premises to this General Assembly for ratification or rejection. A Contrast betwf.en Imperial Francs and Republican America.— The leading men of France might teach ns Republicans a lesson in simplicity of life and character. Our commonest Con gressman think nothing of themselves until they have made enough from fran chises, subsidies, loans, grants, and what not, to erect three-story brick fronts on the main avenues of the capital, and do not profess to be fledged for society un til they can count up their possessions by the hundreds of thousands. But the pmrerrt head of the French Cabinet, Ollivier, is content to live in an unpre tending house, which he does not own, 'but rents for five hundred dollars per annum, to retain but a single servant, and to pursue his occupations in plain quarters’ from which onr gorgeous pub lic men would turn away with a sneer of contempt. It was just so with St. Beuve; a man of the simplest ways of living, of unpretending manners, and inexpensive habits, yet the very prince of modern critics, the idol of the first literary men and women, ami. the inti mate of princes. The salons of Paris that are the nursery of the brightest thought and happiest expression bear out the same illustration. They would be voted bores by the majority of our grandiose public huracters, without •character. How much France has yet to learn from America. — N. Y. Democrat .

We reproduce the entire dispatch of Gen. Terry, that the telegraph condens ed for us a day or so ago. Washington , January 27.—The follow ing telegram was received at the War Department to-day, dated Atlanta, Georgia*January 27th : “The House was organized to-day by the election of McWhorter, Republican candidate, as Speaker. Three persons were excluded as ineligible. Eleven of those whose cases were inquired into here were pronouncedjneligible; sixteen who had refused to take the oath, were declared to have become ineligible by their refusal, and one, whose case was sent so the Board, having failed to ap pear, and being absent from the city, was forbiden to take part in the organi zation. After a careful examination of the act of December 22d, I decided that the 4th section would not permit me to seat a candidate having the next highest number of votes in place of persons found to be ineligible. [Signed] Alpbjsb U. Tkruv, Brevet Brigadier General. It will be observed that Gen. Terry declares that the Georgia Bill does not permit him to seat a candidate having the next highest number of votes in place of ineligible members. Yet he en dorses Gov. Bullock s recommendation to the Legislature to seat those candi dates. This certainly sounds disingen uous. But the Legislature has done the very thing that Gen. Terry admits there was no law for, thus standing convicted by Gen. Terry himself, of a wrong. Will General Terry now rectify the wrong ? Os course nut. The military has shown no disposition to interfere, save in help of Gov. Bullock’s faction. It will be readily argued that as the Legislature has done it by a majority vote, it must stand, (hough illegal, as their own ac tion. But it is remurkuCla that this gmnent is never considered good to fas ten any action that happens to conflict with Radical power. Verily, this organization is a comedy of much spice and variety.— Constitution. The Situation. —Yesterday the defeat of thcTecommendation to admit the next highest candidate in tlio place of the in eligible, show’s clearly that the defection of the Democrats lost the Conservatives the Speaker the previous day.

The dyspeptic becomes, too, in a measure demoralized by bis sufferings. He is subject to fits of irritation, sullenness, or despair, as the case may be. A preternatural sensitiveness which he cannot control, leads him to misconstrue the words and acts of those around him. and his intercourse even with t„ose nearest and dearest to him is not ufrequently marked by exhibitions of testiness foreign to bis real nature. These are the mental phenomena of the disease, for which the invalid cannot bo justly held res. ponsible, but they occasion much household dis comfort. It is to the interest of the home circle, it is essential to family harmony as well as to the rescue of the principal sufferer from a state not far removed from incipient insanity, that these symptoms of mental disturbance be prompt ly removed.
