Loins Napoleon’? Power, —The tri
miplunt acquittal of Prince Bonaparte
n the face of the charge of the Procu
eur General, and the notorious facts
sonnectcd with the killing of Noir,
dearly evince the mysterious power of
-he Emperor,—a power which charms
»nd enthruils the masses, and seems to
vindicate the royal dogma, the “king
can do no wrong.**
Tbe French Emperor once an outcast
and needy muiguant, now towers aloft, a
full head and shoulders above all of the
magnate* of Europe.
The man of destiny apparently, still
a close examination of every act of his
life, from the bloodless coup de tat which
overthrew a proud dynasty, and eleva
ted him to the purple, will evince a de
gree of astuteness and far seeing suguc
ity, which shows that the “nephew of
his uncle’’ is one of tbe master spirits of
the 19th century.
We confess to a desire to see the
young Prince imperial succeed his tire
oa the thrwae of France, that it may be
demonstrated whether “blood will con*
tinue to tell” ‘in the future career of the
Bonaparte family.
Experience has proven that none oth
er that a strong government, can hold
in check the volatile and impetuous
French. Universal suffrage and the
vpheaval of the bottom crust in our
own country, may yot call for a similar
exercise of power. Any thing in prefer
ence to a radical mobocracy.
*3T Bullock has been making a
speech in Washington, and calls for ri
fles and a loyal militia.
The Telegraph & Mesenger gives
some good advice on the subject.
What do wo want with arms and a
militia white or black ? Is it to male•
trouble that we may quell the same ?
Heaven knows the South fears no
foreign foes, and the sherift ana his
posse eomHatus is abundantly able to
preserve domestic peace. • .
We' opine, the field exhibitions and
past glory of the Georgia militiu major
will never be revived. Nor will the
4 ‘golorioas 4th,” and the old ‘‘grid iron’*
evei awaken the enthusiasm of former
days.
The result might have been otherwise.
But it is hard to tesch a people to love
the oppressor, while smarting daily un
dor his repeated blows.
If Grants motto be ‘‘let us have
peaco” then why this appeal for arms ?

The Surveyors At this important en
terprise, wWdfc, since the advent of Col.
Hr.lbert Jut taken anew lease of life,
and is bow poshed forward with the
gt-eateit energy, have completed their
recognisances from Albany to this city,
en rout* for Eufaula.
► Accompanied by a prominent citi
zen, we had the pleasure of a long per
sonal interview with Col. Charles S.
Schlatter, the chief Engineer of the
Road, on Friday afterodorl, at his rooms
in the Hay’s House. The Colonel is
an exceedingly affable and intelligent
gentleman, and we found him-busily en
gaged with a multitude'of maps and
field notes before him,. I n the
ted Conversation which ensued, we
'.earned that the survey had been satis
factorily prosscuted to the vicinity of
our town, where a series of hills and
ravines had interposed obstacles, which
would require a little time, and the run
niog of several lines, properly to sur
mount.
In view of the fact that this road will
probably form one of the connecting
links of the great Southern Pacific
highway, no pains are spared in tbe
preliminary survey, to secure tho most
eligible route as to grade, directness,
cheapness, etc. etc. An examination of
the profile, and elaborate field n tee of
the line located from Albany, revealed
many interesting facts, as to the topo
graphy of the intervening country.
Every watercourse, field, and’ swamp
were minutely described, and the seve
ral cuts and embankments fully indica
ted, upon the huge roll of pasteboard,
which the accomplished draughtsman
unwound and exhibited. The scale
embraced only 1000 feet to the inch,
which was sufficient to allow of the ut
most particularity und accuracy, in the
description of objects.
We were pleased to learn that our city
•tanda almost upon an exact air-line, be
tween the connecting points of the pres
ent survey. In answer to an inquiry as to
the right of the company to locate a
road parallel to, or which shall cross the
south.western, we were informed that
the charter of the Albany & Bruns
wick Railroad is fifteen years older Lh;«n
that of the latter. Wo can see no good
reason however why the two roads may
not fuse into one at this point. Why
go to the expense of constructing two
line* side by side, which will ever keep
up a war with each other, like that of
tho celebrated Kill Kenny cats, while
one is abundantly competent to do the
work of both ?
We trust this important question will
be approached and determined, with
the utmost calmness and deliberation by
all the parties in interest. Whatever
be the result however, Col. SohutUer af
firm* that tbe new road will certainly
be built.
That gentleman state* also that the
company have already expended bona
fide of their own means, $600,000 upon
this enterprise, and that no lack of cap
ital will be wanting for the completion
of every foot of the road. Moreover,
be says the State uid which has been
secured, will not add more than five per
cent to the actual value of the bonds ot
the concern, nor will one dollaarever be ac
tmlly drawn from the State treasury, in
the prosecution of the work. The ef
fect of the “State aid” will simply be
to inspire confi lenue in the undertaking,
and induco capitalists to embark their
funds in an enterprise, the success of
which is guaranteed by a great com
monwealth. In no event could the
State incur loss, save in the utter fail
ure of the road when completed, to pay
expenses.
We are thus particular in dwelling
upon this point, because our reads-s are
fully posted as - our uncompromising
hostility to all Stale a<d for internal im
provements. Nor have our views chan
ged in the least, aa many of the projects
in contemplation never can pay expenses,
and will therefore revert back upon the
State, to bankrupt it worse than ever,
unless wholly abandoned.
In the present instance however, we
believe no such apprehension need be
entertained, as this great and direct ar
tery to the seaboard must not only ptove
self sustaining, but largely remunera
tive.
We are assured by the chief engin
eer also, that the late emeute of the roud
employees has besn greatly exaggerated
by Avery. The entire difficulty origi
nated, and was confined to a few drun
ken individuals, and the presence r.f
the military at Bruuswiuk is wholly uu
necessary.
Id conclusion, we trust our citizens
will uflord every as istauce and em'-our
agemeut to Col. Schlatter an<l the gen
tlemanly resident engineer, Charles E.
Fogg Esq., in their efforts to secure
the best approach to our city. The
farmers of the surrounding e*?ontry can
also render valuable aid in locating the
route to Eufaula.
The country is hilly and rugged, and
a favorable location will result in the
saving of much expense to the compa
ny. Let us hope however that this
work will be tendered unnecessary, by
the junction of the two roads.
Before closing this article, we wish
to state distinctly, (hat the road under
consideration in no degree conflicts
•with the Bainbridge, Cuthbert& Colum
bus Railroad. The one will run east
and teeti, the other almost due no/th
and south. They cross each other at
right angles, and will tfraw their sup
port from districts independent of, and
remote from each. The one seeks an
Atlantic, the other at St. Marks, a Golf
outlet.
The one is intended to connect us
witb the far distant Pacific, the other
with the North-west and the'‘Great
Lakes.”
The one will transport the passengers
and gold of California, the other the
corn and teeming products of the valley
of the Ohio. •
There should be no antagonism there
fore between the two enterprises, but
let us cooperate heartily lor the saceeaa
of i*ach.
Our only regret is, tha kfooth should bs
sprung upon us at ttie same time. The
more cause exists however, f>r deter,
mined effort* on the part of oar com
munity.
Great benefits require and deserve
great sacrifices Let os gird up our
loins therefore for the work before ns,
and every citizen contribute to- the full
extent of his means, to the completion
of each of the grand enterprises which
will inure so vastly to the prosperity of
our beautiful city.
The Virginia Legislature ; £ n .
‘f.Jr tne new Con.stit”*; l , oj p a a passed a
law allowing any rate of interest, not
to exceed 12 per cent., to be stated on
the face of the oote.
Thia is a move m the right direction.
We hope to see our Legislature take
hold of the sulject for early action,
when it meets again
The idea of putting an embargo on
money when we so much need it is the
very acme of old fogyism. To muzzle
money is simply to clog the borne that
pulls von.
A Major John C. Thompson, of Ten
nessee, made some most sensible re
marks tin the subject in the Convention.
He alluded to the fact that the great
writers on finance, Adam, Smith, Jere
my, Bentham, Mill, Macuuley, and oth
ers, Were all against Usury laws. These
men all took the bold theory that gov
ernment «-ff..rts to restrict the value of
money were hurtful and futile. Money
it* cheaper where it is freest
In Amsterdam and London, where
its price is unrestricted, in fact money
is the cheapest. In Wall street, it is
more abundant than anywhere else in
this country, and cheaper.
Money merely represents value, and
if tbe value of property varies, why not
the value of money, which is worth
what it wil* bring ? The law of supply
and demand should govern. To pay
interest for money is simply to buy mon
ey on credit. You cau sell your house
for what you please. Why not your
money, which is simply another kind of
properly ?
Your neighbor’s corn is worth a dol
lar a bushel today, and a do lar and a
half at Christinas, llis money may in
crease in value in the same proportion,
yet he ceii’t take the benefit of it. The
law lets him make as much as he cun
on his corn, but trammels his use of his
money, and prevents him from making
only so mu- h.
This is an unjust discrimination and
as injurious as unjust. The way to re
duce the usurious interest is to knock
off the risk connected with it, and open
the field. Money will rush in to get
the high rates, and the very abundance
consequent on this will draw down the
interest.
The (juestion is a practical one, and
the opposition to the repeal of the usu
ary law is more a prejudice and a tra
dition, than a reason. Constitution.
Women as Jurors. —The “lords of
creation” appear perfectly willing tha<
the fair sex should take part of the la
bors of jurymen off their shoulders, es
pecially as tln-y have no fancy for the
work anyway. But the impression
prevails tlmt the experiment will prove
a failure not .more from natural causes
that would seetit *•<> disqualify them for
the task than from t)»e serious consideru
tion that no twelve women would aver
bo able to agree on a verdict I lbere
were but five feminines on the Wyoming
jury who recently tried the murder case,
jt took five days’ confinement and
starvation to make tkeni agree with the
masculines, and among themselves,
which is more diffi-’ 11 ! 1 still, ihe dar
ling creatures had each their own opin
ions of the law and the fact£« and not
until they were pale aud wail a'.nd was
ted away to shadows did they become
of one mind, and we shrewdly suspect
there were even then some strong pro
tests and reservations. At this rate the
courts will never get through with the
business of tho country. Subjected to
such an ordeal, Judge Schley, who is
given to impatience with his dockets—
probably caused by leisure-loving law.
yers—would make a present of Ins com
mission to Bullock before bis first riding
was over!
We observe that the subject is at
tracting very general attention from the
Press. Ttie ardent progressionist, the
Now York Tribune, holds this theory as
to this womanly jury manifestation, eith
er that the masculine lawyers “unwise
ly confined themselves to a gumeut
when they ought to have tried persua
sion,” or that it arises as “ungallaut
men declare” from the rational law, to
wit: that *‘a woman having once con
ceived an opinion is obliged to be de
livered of it, and cannot be reasoned out
of it, though she might be coaxed or
bribed.”
It i» very ungallant in Mr. Greely to
intimate that a lady can be “bribed,”
and we should not erv to hear that Mrs.
G. had combed his few straggling locks
with a three-legged stool; but when he
talks of coaxing , he speaks like a philoso
pher and a dutiful benedict to-boot.--
Indced, that may be set down as the
great secret of all success with the ten
der six, and a good eouxer at the bar
would be second best only to him who
can successfully “feign, lie and flatter.*’
What a revolution, then, is the change
destined to effect among the practition
ers at the Bur ! Your prosy, plodding
musty old wiseacres, who now carry
everything before them and fill their
pockets by emptying those of their cli
ents, will have to give way to the young,
handsome, gallant and oily tohgued but
briefless limbs of the law, who are des
lined to rise into sudden popularity.—
Tiie ingenious special pleadings and pa
thos of this class may go far to remove
the objection arising from the natural
antagonism that exists among women,
and, after all, good and dutiful hus
bands may consider it not a bad bar
gain to swap a somfortiess jury box for
an obstreperous baby at home. We
may recur to this momentous question
hereafter. — Sav. Rep.

The following communication from

forth the working* of this Southern en
terprise will be read with interest :
Among tbe various object* of impor
tance and attraction wbfcfc the visitor
beholds in thia refined and beabtitiil
city, the Georgia Practical Business Col
lege occupies n prominent position.—
This most valuable and growing insti
tution wa* established about two years
ago, and is located in the heart of this
intelligent aud enterprising popnlation.
Its course of instruction consists of four
distinct and separate department*, to
wit: The Commercial Department.
bracing Book keeping and
Commercial law; the Mathematical,
including Surveying and Civil Engineer
ing. The English and the Telegraph
ic Departments, each of which has its
own appropriate professor, with compe
tent assistants. The regular professors
of the College are B. B. Boston,
George B. Levison and J. T. MoGin
ty. These gentlemen are eminently
qualified for their respective chairs, and
are thoroughly identified with the peo
ple of the South. They have illustra
ted their patriotism and devotion to
Southern rights and interests on many
a glorious battle-field, and are in strong
and abiding sympathy with the soldiers
of Johnson and Lee. Prof. Eustnn
was connected for a long time with the
celebrated Dulbear College, of New
Orleans, and has educated many of the
best business men in the south.
Prof. Levison, formerly connected
with the business department of the
Eastman College, New York, an in*t*-
tir ion favorably known to the people yf
the United States Prof McGirity is a
graduate of Mercer University Ga., a
teacher of long experience, aud of well
earnedt reputation. The college is fur
nished with its own text b<»>ks, and is
not dependent on the North or the old
vVorld for thes e indispensable aids. Its
plan of instruction is entirely of a pras
tide character. There are no class?*,
each student being taught individually
and separately. The number of stu
dents now in connection with it, is about
forty, and the prospects for a much lar
ger attendance are daily brightening.
We can candidly say that we know of
no ins itution in all the land that is bet
ter adapted to the wants and circum
stances of our people, and that is more
deserving of public patronage. Many
of our young men who have not the
time and means to pursue a regular
course in oitr old literary institutions,
can here be fitted in a short period, and
nt smalt expenses for the most lucrative
and honorable offices of life. We,
therefore, sincerely hop* that our peo
ple everywhere will rally vigorously
around this rising college, and innke it
a power and ornament to the South.

Demoralized Servants. —We have
taken occasion several times to call the
attention of our readers to this subject,
and tbe absolute necessity for a change,
and disposition to benefit b-<th employee
employer, is our excuse for doing so
again That servants are becoming lees
efficient daily, is a fact patent to all. and
that our system of hiring ad discharging
is the cause, t* n>> less apparent. It is
said that servants are scarce, and for
that reason we can adopt no measures
hy which to cantrol them. We do not
think this is the case. If we have few
servants it is all tbe more desirable that
we maka that few good, and this we can
do only by making their success in ob
turning situations dependent on their
qualifications. It matters not how itn
pudent or worthless a discharged ser
vant may be, there is no difficulty in
obtaining another home, no questions
being askud as to character. This
works injustice to the servants them
selves. There is no preference shown
good ones, no inquiry made as to which
are good, and no particular inducement
to be good. It has a tendency to make
the good bad, and the bad infinitely
;vorse. We hope the evil may be cor-
one of these days, and that to se
cure » situation it will be necessary to
present testi.’.uoniala from the last em
ployer. We cart control this thing it
we will.— Eufaula Neyst.
The New Indian Policy. —Treaties
with the Indians are to bo discontinued
in the future, and a policy adopted rest
ing upon a different idea A bill will
be reported in a few days which divides
the Indians into three distinct classes.—
First, those on reservations, self sustain
ing; secondly, those on reservations
not so far advanced in agriculture as
the former, and third those not on n
servations. It provides for diyidiyg the
territory info four distritwl, with one
general superintendent for each of them,
and one agent for one or more tribes un
der the charge of the general superin
tendent. It is proposed that this hill,
with some modifications, will be adop
ted. Even if adopted it will be barren
of results unless good men are appoin
ted superintendents and agents. What
changes there are for such taking the
lead, can be gathered from the charac
ter of those running otuer branches of
the public service.— Sen. Rep.
General Lee. —The Virginia papers
say this grand old soldier’s health is not
good, and that he will takes Southern
tour to recuperate it. He is expected
to reach Raleigh, next Thursday.
We are not informed h->w far South
he will come, but if as far as Georgia,
we hope to see him in Macon. No uian
has ever lived, oi fives now, who has a
higher pluee in the admiration and
gratitude of the people of Georgia, or a
stronger hold on their hearts than the
sta<nless soldier aud gentleman, Robert
E Lee. G--d keep him many, many
years in the land he loved s-> fondly and
served so faithfully, is the prayer of eve
ry true soul in it .—Telegraph and Me*
senger.
From the Country. — We learn from
our planters that corn is pretty general
ly planted throughout this section.—
Some ot it is up. A large .breadth of
land has been sowed in oats, and the
oaui are doing well, the prospect for a
good crop being very fine. The large
majority of our farmers are preparing
to use guano freely, all opposition to its
use, as we can learn, having been giv
en up, the experience of the past year
satisfying the most incredulous.
The fruit crop, notwithstanding the
many cold snaps the past month is
promising. The first blooms that
made their appearance in certain locali
ties, were destroyed by the freezes, but
in other places even the early blooms
received no damage whatever, and ail
the late blooms are uninjuied. It is
now too late to apprehend any further
disaster, as the young peaeh will sooi.
be too fur advanced to be injured by
anything short of u freeze.
There bus been much new fencing
pnt »p and new ground taken in, for
the purpose of cultivation, the present
year. The most of our farmers appear
hopeful and measurably contented.- |

Wall Stkkkt Uneai-y —New York
March 20.—The air is full of rumors in
regard to coming difficulties in Wall
street. The extraordinary frauds of
the past week, the unsettled condition
of financial projects in Washington, the
collapse of the paper money and stock
exchange bubbles, aH have combined to
make the banks and money lenders ex
tremely careful of their collateral for
loans. No body wants securities in
Wallstreet to-day. All want money.
If tbe funding bill becomes a law fiuan
ciers fear a violent contraction of the
greenback currency, and a disastrous
financial and commercial panic.
The weekly bank statement shows
bank expansions in the face of a de
ert-ase in specie. legal tenders, and < e
posits. The bank loans show an in
crease of $1,863 079, in the face of a
decrease of $527,584 in legal tenders,
and $1,384 388 in specie, making the
total loss in what the banks call their
legal reserve $1,911,000. During the
coming three weeks there will be wide
fluctuations in gold and stocks, and it
is felt all around tb <t some enormous
blow w.ll be s'ruck which will fall heav
ily in a quarter least aniteipated. The
week opens in the m dst of a general
want of confidence, with the air full of
rumors of comiug disaster.— Luuisv

and those committed have no political
significance. He further sny3 that
there is no proscription of Union men.
This is the testimony of a Northern

goes to the Senate
Card from Judge Cabiness. —A dis
patch from Atlanta to Wilmington City
having stated that a Convention of the
D. mociatio part of Georgia will be call
ed by a majority ot the Executive Com
mittee in the event of the passage of
the bill for the admission of Georgia
with Bingham’s amendment the under
signed, as Uhuirtnut of the Executive
Committee, deems it due to truth to say
no such call is contemplated by any
member of the committee, so far aa he
is apprised. No member of the Coni
mittee or other p< r-on has requested
him to convene the Goto mittee to con

Another Lie.—We see a paragraph
going the rounds of our exchanges
taken from the Atlanta Era, that the
"Mayor of Fort bain* adjourned the
Council by knoekeriijg two of the Aider
men and the clerk under the table.”
The above is a wilful lie. No one in
this place has any idea from what, even
a rumor of such a thing could obtain.
Our Mayor, the Alderman and Clerk
are all on the most pleasant and agree
able terms, and there has never been
the least unpleasantness between them*
and they all are working harmoniously
together for the good of our city— it.
