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 ? *GT The Macon Telegraph St Messere ger announce s the death of Dick Mason, the well known porter at the car shed. A more faithful and obliging man nev er lived, and it will be long before we cease to miss Dick amid the struggling arowd of that busy thoroughfare. 10L. A Brunswick correspondent of the Telegraph & Messenger says: six months ago Brunswick numbered but 1500 inhabitants, and now Bhe boasts of 8000. •_ • t@. The Atlanta New Era of the 29ih inst., credits the Appeal with the following, in reference to the completion of the first 50 miles of the Brunswick & Albany Railroad. Every one who has seen this new read, pronounces it excellent and thor ooghly constructed. Th-s road has been examined by a competent authorized agent, but we move that W&dley, Sneed & Go. be ap pointed a special committee to overlook all matters not in accord-with the wish es of their roonßtsr monopoly. The Appeal never thought,,’ wrote or said any 6uch thing, ©ur own sire was one of the original stock holders of the old Central, and and a close, friend of Cos). Gordon, and R. R. CnylW- That slander mill in Atlanta, has Briareaii anas that extend every way. Pithy.-— Commenting upon the fact that the Radicals in Congress wish Bul lock’s term extended, because the p«o --pie will uot re-elect him, the Savannah Republican says : “We have certain ly iallen ou strange times, when it is openly argued in favor of a government that it has not the sympathy and mp port of the people, ami therefore should be upheld.” Brunswick and Albany Rail road- 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 newspapers contain the following marriage notice: “Married in Salt Lake City, Utah, on the 16th ultimo, iti the presence of the Saiuts. Eldrr Brigham Young to Mrs. J. R. Martin, Miss L. M. Prendergrast, Mrs. R M. Jackson, Miss Susie P. Cleveland, all of the county of Berks, England. No cards.” Another Printer Gone. —Benj min T. Gastelluw died in Talbotto.i a few days since. Many years' ago Mr. Cus teHaw was foreman of the Central Geor gian office, and in 1866 .was for a short time editor of the Georgian. He re moved to Talbotton, and until recently, published the Gazette, of that place. ‘Well, neighbor, what’s the news this morning ?’ said a gentleman to a friend. ‘I have just bought a sack of flour for a poor woman.— ‘Just like you I Whom have you made so happy by your chariiy this time?’ ‘my wife.’ Georgia Business C ollege. The following communication from Macon to the Albany Newa, setting 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. Visitor. 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.- | Bainbridge Argus , f-Vom the li onswick Ap >e 1. Batiro&d Troubles, Hsy. did Ale diddle.

ALONZO. 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 Courier., Intolerance. —General A. R. Z. Daw son, who commanded the Rost of Mu cok, from the war to January, 1866, has written a letter to Col. CiHyer and Others in Nashville, in which lie says that three-fourths of tho outrages re ported to Congress as occurring in Ten nessee, have no foundation whatever, 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 man who fought in tho Federal army against us. Yet, monstrous to say, we have South ern men in our midst, running papers, who seek the crucifixion of the State by fabricating falsehoods about our po litical intolerance. Low and degener ate must be the son of Southern birth, who can thus basely traduce our peo ple to work us injury.— Atlanta Consti tution. The Mormon Reformation Bill.— W„hi ngton, March 23. I he bill to pub lish j olygamy in Ulah, which passed the House today provides that the Marshal ol the Territory shall select the grand and petit jurors, which will enable him to take them from the anti Moi non or Gentile population—though the right of challenge is reserved to the accused In indictments for concubiago, bigamy, &c., it is not necessary to prove the first or subsequent marriages, but the accused’s admission that be has more than one wife, his acts recognizing them as wives by introducing, treating or de porting himself toward them as such is to be regarded aa sufficient evidence. After this hTI becomes a law any man in Utah who shall live or cohabit with one woman or more, other than his wife or wives, shall be adjudged guilty of concuhiage, and upon convie viction thereof shall be punished by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, and by imprisonment in the penitentia ry at bard labor not exceeding five years. In all prosecutions the alleged concubines of the accused shall be com petent witnesses to establish or disprove the charge. Punishment for adultery .is proved for, any person who practices polygmy shall not be allowed to hold any federal office. The biil is full of details, but these are the main points. A section directing the Secretary of the Treasury to provide for such persons as may be made destitute, as supeifiaous wives, &c , by the ab dition of polyga. my, was v-*ted down. The bill now 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.
