Telegraphic Line to Mill dg<

A Telegraphic Hue from Milledgeville 1
Connect with lines now in o|>enuion, h is lot
been considered a great desideratum and is fa
becoming an absolute necetsity. The citizei
throughout the State fed the need nnd in*
portance of getting the new s from the seat <•
Government as soon as possible, and it i
somewhat humiliating that the capital of Geoi
gin is perhaps the only one in the Union n hid
does not enjoy telegraphic facilities.
And here let us make a suggestion : A gen
tieman in this city of skill and experience in
such matters, will guarantee, if a Coinpan
with a capital of S3OOO cm be formed, ho nil
build the line between Macon and Milled -
ville for that sum an 1 take 8509 in stock. 11
•ays it will cost only SI2OO per annum to kec|
it in operat on, nnd there is no doubt it wil
pay a handsome dividend.
Since an object so desirable enn be accom
plished at so trifling an expense will not th<
citizens of Milledgeville subscribe the sum < I
$2500 requisite to insure the completion of tin
work ?
We will have more to say w hen we lien
from our cotemporaries of the Union and /?'
carder.
Th? Wheat Crop.
We are informed by n gentleman o r exne
rience in the growing of wheat, who has Jus'
returned from a trip to the tip country, innd
for the pnrpose of picchasing wheat for hi
Mill situated in Houston county where he als<
resides, that there is a better and larger croi
of wheat made in Georgia this year than Im
ever been made in any prev'mns year; nnd h
also informs ns that there is more than emmg!
old wheat in the country in the hands of far
mers than will he sufficient to snppty th
wants of this section, as he frequently conver
ed with farmers who had on hand 1,000 o
more bushels of oi l wheat. He:inti'-ip ite«pm

P. S. Since the above was written our Get*

In an Uneisy Condition.
The California papers have found out a scion
of the Murat race of w, uld be Kings, and
have found him in very unregal condition—i.
e„ if being “as drunk as a lord” and as “coarse
as a c urtier” are not personalities of royal
ty. Thus runs the elation: “A poor, wretch
ed looking man was found upon the streets .
last evening and brought into the station house ;
in a state of helpless drunkenness. He w ,
placed in one of the cells and laid out upon ' <
the aspbaltmn floor, and at 7} o’clock la* eve- ,
ning he was a’ta ked by an epiletic fit. and but i t
for the pr nnnr k'n luen of th- ollie -r in aten- i .
rlnnonfhn rwutr liot'n Hirul With j ■
agony. Upon inquiry we learn the man’s j •
name is Louis Murat, and that he is a lineal , i
descendant of.! -a him Murrat, King of Naple- •
under the resign of Napoleon BniUpart. He . e
arrived in this country in 1849, having con
siderable means and letters of c.-eilit: the for
mer he squandered and the lattor he lost, and
for two years he has been a Common street <
drummer.”
The Story of a Jack Knife.
The Boston Le Iger tells the following :
“In 1789, a youth, then residing in Maine. ;
owned a jack-knilc. when he, being of a some. , ]
what trading ami money making disposition. (
sold it for a gallon es rum. This he retailed, | t
and with the proceeds purchased two gallons,
and eventually a barrel, which was followed
in due time with a large stock. In a word,
he got rich, and became the squire of tho dis
trict through the prosession and sale of the
jack-knife, and an indomitable trading indus- ,
try. He died worth property in real estate
and money, valued at SBO,OOO.
This was divided by testament among four
children, three boys and u girl. Luck, which
seemed to have been the guardian ungel of the 1
father, deserted the children; for every folly '
and extravagance they cot 11 engage in seem
ed Pi occupy their exclusive attention and eul- |
I tivation. The daughter mi.r. ied unfortunate- |
j ly, and her patrimony was sioi thrown away
by her spendthrift of a hu bind. The sons j
were as unfortunate, and two of them died in ; ,
dissipation and poverty. t
The daughter also died. The last of the , t
family, for many years past, has lived on the (
Kindness of those who knew him in his pros- ,
perity, as pride would not allow him to go to ,
the poor farm. A few days ago he died, sud- ,
denly and unattended, in a barn where be t
hid laid down to take a drunken sleep. Upon ; .
his pickets being examined, all that was found ; i
therein was a small piece of string and a jack- i 1
knife. (
S? the fortune that began with the imple- (
ment of that kind left its simple duplicate.— .
We leave the moral to be drawn in whatever
fashion it may suggest itself to the reader—
simply stating that the story is a true one, and .
ill the facts well known to many wli ui this I
lelation will doubtless reach.

Certainly not—we do not desire to give Leg

ly d > desire to give Legislative sanction to a
measure which we believe meets the approval
>f i very large major! y of the people of Geor

would redound m rc to the good and glory of
the State and peapl.j than the question of
-S a’e Aid” in cases where the State is per-
Jt'-tly secure from present or ultimate loss ;
such a bill can be framed and the people will
demand its passage by the next Legislature.
T.io Times suggests that the question of
• S a*e Ad” be left to a vote of the people—we
think the people of Georgia will send proper
II presen atives to the Legislature, and are
filing to trust in their hands the future desti
ny of the State either for good or bad, with
>ut tr mid ng the people to vote on every ques
tion of S ate p diey, to say nothing of lowering
by this means the dignity of a legislative as
-embly. \\ e are glad to see our suggestion of
a e iivcntion of the friends of “State Aid” has
been seconded by many of th? leading Journals

Kniceerbocker.—We have on our table the
above valuable Magazine for June. Besides
the usual amount of literary matter, this nutn
lier is handsomely embellished with several
elegant steel plate engravings, among which
we find a portrait of Prescott, the historian.
3rd District.
The Atlanta Intelligencer is out with a high
pressure article in favor of our friend Lochrane
for the Democratic nomination in this District.
So far so good. We know Col. Lochrane very
well. He is a pleasant gentleman, a clever
lawyer, and a very popular speaker. The
same may be said truly of Col. Spear, and
should either of them receive the nomination,
wc need hardly say that the best efforts of the
State Press shall be at his service. However,
we are not quite sure that the Intelligencer is
right in slamming the door so peremptorily in
the faces of every body else. It is no doubt
true that la>th Col. DeGraffenried and Mr.
Tracy may have declared that they were not
“in” for the race, and we have no idea that
cither of them has solicited the support of
Delegates. But the Democracy have a fashion
of nominating the man who seems to them
most fit; and so it not uufrequcntly happens
that some who are considered “in” find that
they are “out,” and rice rersa. We have no
doubt that the Convention will take a calm
survey of the whole field. Bibb county and
every where else, and select the man who seems
to combine the most elements ot strength: and
we have just as little doubt that the man,
whoever he may l>e. will be very willing to
accept the-honor. As to Col. DeGeaffenrieo
and Mr. Tract, however mneh they may hold
themselves in the back-ground, it don’t follow
by any manner of means that their friends
will remain so quiescent. And what is true of
them may be of others.
A New Suggestion for Governor.
A correspondent of the Sumter Republican
suggests the Hon. 11. R. Cuvier, for Governor,
with many complimentary’ remarks in respect
to the man. not one of which is misapplied,—
Mr. Cuyler's government, however, is already
so extensive, so satisfactory, so well ordered in
ill things and sure, that he will hardly feel a
lisposition to leave it for an adventure on the
stormy sea of polities.
Wc find the above in this morning’s Tele
</ra/>h. We were aware that Mr. Cuylcr b
a government, and n very tyranieal one at t?
but we are surprised that a Macon paper sk
become his Court Journal. We presuv<

This is fresh in the recollection of our mcr

which he might chance to be nominated.

bons, Esq., editor of the Harrodsburg. Ky.,
Transcript by shooting himself through the
head, says:
Alas! poor Gibbous! He was said to boa
clever and kind hearted man. But he had the
nisfortune to be a Democratic county editor
—a class that is usually worked hard and
isoorly paid. He laborei fathfully and zeal
ously for the Democracy of Lis county, but
lid not earn enough to support his family
uid meet his current expenses; consequently
■or relief in liis troubles, he first resorted to
iiquor, and finally to suicide. Truly a melan
choly fate.
Native Africans is the West.—A friend recent
'y from the West, aud who had opportuilies of ob
•ervlng some of the recently imported Africans in
their new homes and at their new occupations, in
forms that they are exceedingly docile and ea-v
managed. He saw some of them ploughing, who
performed that operation well. He informed ns that
an African would learn to plow in two or three hours
—that ail that was necessary was for the overseer to
set the example, and tin* apprentice was soon a me
ter workman—provided there was no frog- or gnt
hoppen in the field. That whenever a gras<diupper
flew up. or a frog leaped off. the plough was aban
loned. and chase instantly given, and that when the
former wore captured lint wings were cropped and ha
nas swallowed as a dainty morsel. They prize Ihe
frog also as a delicacy—greatly prefered by the Afri
cans to -alt baeon.—Ckeruw Gazette.

We understand that Mr. I ield expresses hi
faith in the ultimate success of the cuterpri- •
■is strongly as he did at its first commcncc
nent. His iK'rsever:>ncc in ntcli a noble tttt
lertaking deserves success, lie thinks that
the exigencies of war in Europe w til prove fa
vorable to the enterprise, as they will demon
strate more decidedly than ever the necessity
ot the communication. —.V J’ JhrulJ.

tlte Chancellor of the Exchequer, in a great.
