Good news for the operators who join ed in tbo strike on tho Central railroad has bccu received by E. It. Dozier, di vision chief of the Order of Railway Te legraphers in Macon. It came in the shape of a letter from Chief Operator Ramsey of tho order and stated there wns asum between $6,000and$8,000subject to his draft. This money will be drawn and used in payipg the men at the rate of a dollar a day for the time that has elapsed since the strike begun on tho 10th of De cember. The chief operator also requests the divison chief to send him a complete list of the striking operators and their places of residence. The amount to bo used in paying the men is appropriated in what is known as the protective fund of tho order which now amounts to some thing like $75,000. ¥ * * HI, Money Involved. The Atlanta Journal says: O. C. ifu 1 - ler, acting as examiner, is engaged in Inking the testimony of State Railroad Commissioner Fort in the case of the in ters tatc commission against the New Or leans and Texas Pacific and Western and Atlantic and the Georgia roads. This is a test case involving thc>long and short haul clause and a va9t amount of money to the railroads of the country. If decid ed agaiost them, for instance, it will cost tho Georgia railroad alone upwards of $500,000 a year, and tho railroads all over the country in proportion. In order to illustrate the principal point in ibis test ease made by the interstate- commission, it is only necessary to state that less freight is charged on buggies shipped from Cincinnati to Augusta, Ga. than on buggies shipped from Cincin nati to Social Circle; although Augusta is 100 miles beyond that point. Judge Newman of the federal court, will take up this large, important aud interesting railroad case—the biggest now on any docket in this country—in a few days. -‘ A Remarkable Setlteaeeut.

This makes a total of morn than $20,000 paid out in a single day for tho educational institu tions of the Btate. Of,course, the money was either in payment of quarterly, and iu somo cases for semi-annual, dues to the colleges, and it will be several months before they will fall due again. ¥ ¥ ¥ Deserved Pardon. Governor Nortlien grunted n pardon a few days ago, behind which is an inter esting story. A. J. Burnett is a whito man who wns convicted of manslaughter pcvernl yoars sgo by the superior court of Crawford county. lie lind a son, a part- nor in the crime, and they have both served out their terms with the exception of n few months. Tho father wns sen tenced for threo years. He took tho enso to the supremo court after a hard strug gle iu the superior court of his county, and was about to bring on n long trial in tho high court, ilo linally gave out tho notion of contesting it any further, and dcoided to turn himself himself over to the authorities nnd servo out his throo years in the state jjfinitcDt.iary, lie went to tho penitentiary department nt tho capitol and told the authorities there that ho wns ready to bo takou to tho camps and called a halt in the pro cedure of the cos# in tho supremo court. He was a man of high character, well- known at home as a thoroughly honest man, and deserving the confidence of all the neighbors. Ills thorough frankness before the keeper of tire stnlo penitentia ry was such as to inspire tho keeper that hero was u convict wilt whb ns noot a gentleman ns convlotaf ever get to be. When ho told tho kiVperthat ho was ready to bo taken to tho comps, and gave himself over without further hesitation, that officer told him to go to the camps as soon ns he fixed his business at homo in loudition for departure, Und the man wont .o thu convict camps unguarded nnd with no handcuffs on his arms. He went vol untarily nud atone, and gave himself up to the convict guards, taking with him his papers of conviction and telling thorn that he had come to woik out’his len ience. This is, perhaps, tho only case on record when a convict, in the state of Georgia has taken himself to the convict camps without a sheriff or a guard at his side. It was Bbown to the governor that Burnett has conducted himself most be comingly whilo nt the camps, and that bo has served nearly all of his time there, ft was further shown that there wns no positive evidence that he wns guilty in the first placo, and that tho jury that tried tho case, and tho judge who sen- tcuced him united in tho appeal for clem ency. * * ¥ Georgia ftclioola. An enumeration of the school popula tion of Georgia will bo made this spring. This was decided at the meeting in At lanta a few days ago of the state board of education. It was also decided thet history should be taught in tho common schools of the state. The board met in the office of State School Commissioner Bradwell. Every member was present, Governor Northern, Secretary of State Cook, Comptroller General Wright, State School Commissioner Bradwell, Attorney General Terrell and the secre tary of tho board Mr. Robert Gaines. The accounts lor tho last quarter wero approved and then the appeal case from Pike county was taken up. The negro teachers for Pike who made contracts for certain sums asked to be paid by tbo number of scholars they hud. The county school commissioner refused to grant their petition and tho case wna carried to the county board, which sustained tho decision of the commissioner. The case was carried to the state school commis sioner, who sustained those below him, aud it was appealed to the state board. The board'sustained the ruling that had been made. Then the ease from Cobb county as to the uso of history in the schools was considered. Commissioner Bradwell recently in structed county boards of education that they only had tho right under the law to prescribe the text books constituting tho curriculum of the common schools. Or- thogrephy, reading, writing, English grammar, geography and arithmetic. History had beeu prescribed in the schools of Cobb county nnd the board of education there appealed from the decis ion of the commissioner on this point. The board annexed history to the list. The action of tho bonrd makes history a compulsory study and allows county, boardB to prescribe what history shall be used. Tho board decided to have an enumer ation of the school population of tbo state made. The law says this enumer ation must be made every ten years, but it can be made every live yest j. It has been five years siteceUthis enumeration was made, the sumbec of the uqquUU95 then being 000,281. The population now will remount to about 050,000. Btata School Commissioner Bradwell will hare charge of tho work, which will cost be tween fifteen und twonty thousand dol lars, He thinks it will bo completed by May.

And Recounts Some of I lie north »f Val id' of the Hero of New Orleans, Just seventy-eight years ago to-elar, (January eighth) there weis fought a memorable battle, tho most ex traordinary perhaps, that is recorded in the annals of all history. It. wjvm not a very groat battle,for there wero only 18,000 men engaged. It dill net last but forty minutes,and yot its ro- sulta were wonderful, and thoir influence is folt to tills day, and will continue) to be felt as long IIS this government exists. If thnt battle lied been fought he old England or Now England or in any other nor I lime state of this Union, it woulel leave boon celebrated i„ „torv and la song by orators nud poets,and boon a landmark in history, a boeecou light of uonrago and pa triotism and generalship in bright anil an en during nee llohonlindou or Thermonvlae Bunker's Hill. '* But it wan fought at- Now Orleans, away elnwu south in Dixie, by southern men, who wero un- dor tho ban—the ban of tolcrutlng and defend ing slavory—the ban or being barbarians. The foileralists of Now England lead onpoeeod the) war with England, and they gave only a reluc tant praieeo to Juokson for hit victory, for they foaroel that it would make him popular with tho masses who wero fast settling up the west- orn ntatcee. And it did. The victory was »o amazing, so unexpected. 0,000 southern men, armed with ol 1-fashlonod rifles, ami unexperi enced in modem warfare, pitied eigaimit 13,• 000 English Iroopa, the flower of Wellington’), army, that had jiiBt a few months beforo con* qnored Napoleon and retired biin from Paris to Elba; and yet those rough, untrained soldiers did, lu forty minutes, kill 3,000 of tho enemy aud put tho re-at to flight, anil tout only eight killed and thirteen wounded of their own side. Where does history record ancle a victory? There waa no fooling about that bitsinesH. Those riflemen hadn't limited boar and wolves and cat amounts and shot squirrols’ eyes out all tlioir lives for nothing. Their fathers bad fought old England in the Bevolullonary war, and the sons had no lovo for tho Britishers. Wash ington city, tho capital of tho Union, was then ill tho hands of tho British, but those southern patlrots colioeil Jackson's oath when lie swore by tho eternal they should not taka New Orleans. Ho had already driven them from Pensacola anil Mobile, amt bad scattered the Indians from hill and hollow aud blown up a fort with 300 runaway negroes iu it—negroes that tho British were not only protecting, but wero inching to a merciless warfare upon the families of the absont soldiers. Wonderful man lliat Jackson, for be had to light foes without and foes within. Thoro was no telegraph to bring him orders from Wash ington. and when tho mail brought them iu tho old-faahloued stage li» had already elono what they forbade or what they commanded. It maelo but little difference) to him. Ilo con sidered bis commission ns major general in command of tho southern division, its a ‘‘carlo bhtnuho'' to do just as be pleased for tho public good—and lio did it. Ilo was king atuf auto crat. General Winfield Hoott reported bint as a mutineer for not obeying orders, and bo de nounced Hoott as a currion-feel buzzard, and thon challenged him. Ho would light anybody iu defouso of his own honor or that of a wo man. Ho nevor allowed any reputable woman to bo maligned in bis presence, not oTcri by a hint or a whispor. Ho brolto up his oabinot bc- causo Mrs. Jolm C. Calhoun and Mrs. Berrien refused to asHooialo With Mrs. Eslon. Ho was always Blow tee boliovo charges against a woman. Jackson was the first imUifler, for ho absolute ly refused to execute tho mandates of tho eu- promo court unless they coincided with his views. When tho state of Goorgia rofttaed to recognizo tho claims of tho Indians within her borders and was in open conflict witli tbo fed eral government, Jaokson withdrew the troops and nworo l>y tho oternal that the red-haudi d, blood-licking Indians should havo no state witlein a state! He had beon lighting Indians for years, and knew tlielr treachery and tlioii brutality. But bo was a great, big-hearted, noble man—a diamond In tho rough. Ho l-noed, bo bet, ho gambled, ho swore and bo fought duels, hei was always forlho oppressed and the helpless, and always the protector and tho dofendor of woman. Even if her hus band was the oppressor, lie sought a quarrel with him about it, and generally got satisfaction in somo way. What a will ho had, anil what a will power over men—even such men as Tom Benton anil Gass and Blair and Ghlof Justice Taney. He waa the first president who said turn tho rascals out —and he turned (hem. From 178# to 1829 thoro had been but seventy-four removals from ofllco, but Jackson turned out 3,000 tbe first yoar of lets presidential service. He determined to break up the United States bank, because be said it was being used for plunder anil political purposes, and so he ordered McLean, tho secre tary of tho treasury, to remove tho deposits. McLean declined. 8o lee removed McLean and appointed Duane. At the last moment, Duane declined because it was illegal. He removed him and appointed Bogor B. Taney, and ho re moved them, and all tho people said amen. He declared afterwards that, if Taney lead foiled him, ho would have removed the deposits him self. He was as determined as Cromwell, when lee onoe made up his mind. Ho and Sam Hous ton nud Davy Crockett had fought together and bqnlrcd together,and a hundred times imperiled and the British,“and they' wero all of I he same •tripe and type, and lead a moeiauro of contempt for courts anil laws and for tho aelstoeracy of weaith, He put New Orleans under martial law, and the judge fined him *3,000. Ho put tho jndgo ire jail and kept ore his course as though nothing had happened. When Florida belonged to Spain, and was occupied by lawlees people from different countries ami disorder was universal and hideous, Jackson wrote to President Mouroo for loave to go down thine and regulate tbo concern. He didn't get ee re ply and concluded It ought to bo done anyhow, notwithstanding that Spain owned tho country, and so ho organized a littio army of 2,301) southern men, and marched tleero and turuod tho Spanish rascal) out of their own offices in Halt Augustine anil 8t. Mark), ami arrestee! every outlaw ami killed every hostile Indian lee could find and hung some Englishmen because) they couldn't give a good nccouut of what thoy wore doing—and, within a year, Spain got tired of demanding satisfaction for his out rageous invasion and sold the stats to the United States government. But this Is enough of Jackson. He lived long and lio lived muoli. His whole li fo Was marked by truthfulness, integrity and courage. No wonder that tho good peoplo of New Orle ans eclebrato this day, and thus hand down feoni generation to gene ration the memory of ono of t)io moat remarkable victories ever achieved. I lovo lo road atiottf it tend to contemplate it, for it was all tbo horoism of southern people -people whose sons fought at Kbllolt and Cor inth anil Vicksburg. And It Is a comfort lo know that, although Jackson left no children, yot tho soo of his adopted Bon set veil in the confederate army, in which ho wees a colonel. Now, let tho boys read tip Jackson and pon der him, and avoid his e mm soil, imitate his virtues. It will, perhaps, surprise them to find that this great battle was fought just two weeks after peaco heed been niaele at Gbout, a city in Belgium, but there was no telegraph or sub- marine cable then to bring the news. If there lead been, then 2,B00 live s would leave been saved, and, peebaps, Jackson would havo died without becoming famous. It will bring a 'glow to tlielr southern prtriotiam to know that ftlec men who fought unde r Jackson wero tho tfathers and grandfathers of tho name men who, only 700,000 strong, all tohl, did for four long tear) fbri.t against 3,000,0(10 of tlielr fees in tho fate unhappy war.

When the gain of tvimt Is termed a whole nation under amts is estimated, tho exaggeration, says the Fortnightly Review, ol the pompous phrases hides the nakedness of the fact that large numbers of young men are lost to their country by tho moans to which thoy resort to escape military service.
