TUESDAY, DEG. 18, 1868.
Georgia’* pro«p«ct for being re- .
mun leU back to anarchy, is to all appear- '
ancea, »ery Battering. Although *e hare
yielded implicit obedience to tbe law* of
the land ; and hare oomplied with each I
and erery requisition of our rulers, yet
we are threatened with a oontinuauce i
of the yoke of tyrany, under which we
hare been groaning ever since tbeeeaia
tion of hostilities between the armies of the
North and the South. We adopted the
new Amendment to the Constitution, which
was the oondition on which Georgia was to
resume he place in the Uoion. In fine,
we have done erery thin* in our power for
amelioration of our condition, but to no es-
sect. . .
They, (the Jacobin Congress,) seeing
that the Georgians are determined not to
submit to negro supremaoy, seem to be
bending their energies to delay our admis
sion into tbe Union.
Now we hare only to say, if they kubw
in what consist# tho salration of the coun
try, let them work it out. In our opinion,
the decent white people ought to refrain
from haring anything more to do with
reconstruction.
With the lights before os, we cannot
riow the dim vista of the future with the
least composure. Let us not repine how
ever ; but stare the future sternly in the
face, nnd go to work with renewed energy,*
to retrieve our lost fortunes. Let ns raise
our meat and bread. ’ and contrive facilities
for manufacturing a largo per cent, of the
staple raised in the down trodden South.
An Imfohtavt Decision.—On Teuailay
last the following case came on for trial :
Previous to the war Joseph Richardson
gave his promissory note to a Boston firm,
for S2BO, for merchandise. When said
note beosme due, the war had commonced,
(but tho note was placed in the Bank at
this place.) That James A. Nisbet re»
ceived of the Confederate States Govern
ment, ordered Richardson to pay it to him
■gidcr the sequestration acta, and that un
der said order he paid it to said Nesbit.—
After the evidence bad been submitted,
tho presiding Judge, Green, charged the
Jury that if they believed that the note had
been paid to James A. Nesbet, as Receiver
of tho Confedratc Government, upon a
proper Judgment issued under said soques
t ration law, tbat this Boston firm could not
ngsin reoorer. Under this oherge, the Ju
ry returned a verdict for tho Defendant,
Richardson. Peeples A Stewart, for the
Plaintiff. Boynton A Dismuke, for the De
fendant.
m.Conccrning the blood stono, or heli
otrope, there is a curious tradition : “At
the Crucifixion, the blooit which followod
the spour thrust, fell upon a dark green
jaspor lying at tho foot of the cross, and
from this oireum-tanco sprang tho variety.
Iu the middla ages, the red spooks alluded
to wero supposed to represent tho blood of
Christ, and this stono to represent the same
medicinal and tragic virtues as tho jas
per.” Tho opal, beyond doubt tho most
beautiful of all gems, is also tho only one
which cannot bo imitated. It is impossi
ble to value it, sinco the price depends
solely on tho play of color. A flno spcci.
men will bring a thousand pounds, but fif
ty times that sum has been refused in the
case of tho Vienna opal. The hydrophanc
or Mexican opal, loses its beauty when ex
posed to water ; and Sir Walter Scott has
nlludedto the fact in “Anne of Gierstein,”
although in that -romance he ascribes it to
supernatural agency. Strange to Bay, af
ter the publication of the novel, the belief
that opals wore unlucky, obtained such
currency that they quickly wont out of
fashion.
Advertise in Season.—A great number
ol advertisers neglect to advertise in due
season, they are apt to wait until tho very
time comes, when the article they have to
sell, is wanted by those who havo delayed
till tho last moment of time, but wise ones
have purchased early and have had the
choice and selection of a large stock and
have secured to thnm-elvos the very best
by taking “timo by the forelock,” and
those lute advertisers loose a largo amount
of trade by this dolsv Oal. Farmor.
Tub Chatham Banditti —Tbero appears
to be a regularly organised negro banditti
around Savannah, says the Macon Tele
graph, strong enough to bid defiance to
law, and to support each other in a regular
system of plunder and robbory, A few
days ago they waylaid and assaulted tho
police, killing two of thorn and seriously
wounding others.. On our first fcage, cop
ied from the Savannah News, is another
outrage, in whiuh an attempt was made to
inllict summary vengeance upon a oitiien
for the act of arresting one of this banditti
who was eneagt-d in •♦•'aline hi* stock.
“For every bad, there might be a
worse ; and when a man breaks his leg,
let him be tbaokfu! that it was not his
neck.” When Fenelon’s library was on
fire, “God be praised 1" he exclaimed,
“that it is not tho dwelling of some poor
man I” This is tho true spirit of submia
•ion—one of tho most beautiful traits that
can possess the heart. Resolve to see the
world on the sunny aide, and you hava al
most half won the battle »n the outset.

the superior virtues of cold water, re

KINBALL'S OPERA HOOsE THE
OAI'iTOL.
This magnificent building, beyond con
troversy the finest in the State of Georgia,
and now being fitted up for use as the »ete
House, is rapidly approaching completion.
We propose to give as full a lesonpHon or
it as our limited space will allow. It wee
originally intended as an Opera House ;
but owing to the misfortunes and Onancial
embarnassroentt of the company wnten
projected it, in June last it was sold at
auction, and purchased by the Messrs. Kim
ball, with whom the City Council, to ful
fil! the pledge of the city to tbe Stale, ne
gotiated for ito fitting op, to be us as the
Stats Capitol. The building is situated at
tbe corner of Marietta and Forsyth Streets,
about three minute’s walk from the car
shed, iu one of the handsomest portions or
tbe oity. It is five stories high. The east
end is surmounted with a tail tower, in
which is to be placed a clock with a bell
that can be easily heard two miles. The
roor. known as the “French or Mastard.
the most benutilul in ths world, together
with the I urge windows of only two panes
of French plate glass, the highly-finished
walls, and the magnifioent entrance on
Forsyth street, give to it a grand and im
posing appeeraooe— eclipsing tbe Capitol
at Miiledgeville, and furnishing a fine il
lustration of what Atlanta enterprise can
do on short notios. The main entrace is
reached bv a flight of granite and marble
steps. The lower vestibule is floored with
mnrble sill#, and a flight of broad stairs
leads to a large vestibule on tbe second
How, from which we enter the Represen
tn ive Hail, tbo Senate Chamber, and the
Executive apartments. A corridor ex
tends from the main entranoe through the
entire building, on each side of which are
the offices of the State House officials.—
Tho Comptroller General, Secretary of
State, at.d Surveyor Gtfnerhl, have each
three lorgo nnd elegant rooms, twenty-four
feet square on an average, and sixteen feet
high ; and the Treasurer has three rooms
of similar size, and a fire-proof vault eight
by twelve. The Represeetative Hall, un.
questionably the finest and most elegant
room south of Washington, is seventy-five
feet square and thirty eight feet high to
the celling, with a dome thirty-six feet in
diameter. The Ilall Is lighted by one o
Frink’s Mammoth Patent Corrugated
Glass Reflectors, ten feet in diameter, plac
ed in the top of tho dome, which throws a
light, without oaxting a shadow in any
pnrt of the room, as clear and steady as
daylight, ond sufficiently strong to enable
one to read the finest print in any part of
the Hall. The Hall is beautifully fresc »ed
and adorned with life-»izoportraits of some
of Georgia’s noblest sons. There nre guile
ries on three of its sides capable of seating
some five hundred people. Tho floor is
gradually raised from tho Speaker’s desk
to the roar, thus giving n good view for nil,
nnd the scats are so arranged that each
member passes to and from his desk with
out going in front of, or disturbing, any
members. Connected with the Hall are
two onat and wash rooms, or lobbies ; also
rooms for the Clerk and Speaker ot the
House, and the Enrolling and Engrossing
Clerks. The Senate Chamber is fifty feet
tiy seventy, and thirty feet high with gal
leries on three aidos. It is lighted in. the
same way as the Hall ri Representatives,
and the walls are to bo frescoed and oth
erwise adorned in a similar manner. The
rooms of the Attorney General are nlso on
this floor. On the third floor are the Su
preme Court room, amt nlso soveral largo
Committee nnd Executive rooms. On tho
fourtli floor are eight commodious Commit
teo rooms, two large Caucus rooms, and
the Law and General Library of tho State.
On the fifth floor aro a large number of
fine dormitories, elegantly furnished, that
oan be occupied by tho officers and mem
bers of the General Assembly, if they so
desire. In the basement will bo tho “Op
era House Exchange,” with elegant bill
iard and dining rooms. There are five
Inrge stores on the first floor, each with a
basement, which will moke ndmirablo re
tail business houses. Tho windows of
each these stores will be a single plate of
glass, seven feet by twelve —each plate
ousting not less that a thousand dollars.
The building will he heated throughout
with steam, and furnished with marble
wa-h-staods, water-closets, and all the
modern improvemen-s. We understand
the entiro fifth floor and one of tho elegant
stores have already been lensod, to bo fitted
up as a Ladies and Gent’s Case.
At tho time this building, or rather huge
mass of brink and mortar, was sold by the
Reoeiver of the Court, and knocked off to
the Messrs. Kimball, many of our old bu.-
sinoss men shook their heads in doubt of
the result. But notwithstanding the mag
nitude of the enterprise, tlioso gentlemen,
by their untiring energy and hnppy man
nor, eucceedod in convincing the city au
thorities of the superiority ol this building,
for State purposes, over the additions which
they contemplated making to tho present
City Ilall, and have erected a magnificent
edifice ; and we are satisfied all will hearts
ilv concur, that the negotiation between
tlie City Council and tho Messrs. Kimball
for this building was the happiest arrange
ment that could have been made, too
much praise cannot be awarded tho enter
prising owners for the beautiful and tasty
manner in which they have finished the
building. They have seemingly acted cn
tircly regardless of expense. Wo almost
begin to think that nothing is impossible in
Atlanta.—Christmas present.
Young Men.— lt should be the aim of
young men to go into good society—wo do not
mean the rich, nor the proud, or tho lash
ionuhle, but the society of tho wise, the in
telligent, the good. Where you find men
who know more than you do, and _ from
whose conversation you can gather infor
mation, it is always safe to be found.
It has broken down many a man by as
sociating with the low ana vulgar, where
the ribald song was inculcated and the in
decent story told, to excite laughter or in
fluence the bad passions. Lord Clarendon
attributed success and happiness in life to
associate with persons more learned and
virtuous than ourselves. If you desire
to be wise and repected, and desire hap
pioess and not misery, wo advise you to
associate with the intelligent and good—
Strive for excellence and strict integrity,
and you will never be found in the sinks
of pollution, or on the benches of revilcrs
nnd gumbrels. Once habituate yourselves
Pi a virtuo s course; once securo a love for
good society, and no punishment would be
greater than by aocident to be obliged for a
half day, to associate with tho low and
vu’gur.

“Menard, the ooloTed Congressman from

election. Menard is ansparig in his de

J. possess fully equal, and under some conditions,
greater fertilizing power than Peruvian Guano. Its

Planters can afford to use it more liberally, and thns

Directions for Use.—Strew one-half the quantity to

it. When the cotton or corn is brought to a stand, and
well op, say four or five inches, sow the other half
broadest hmween the rows, b -fore the plows This
is found to be a better method than to apply all in the
drill.
This Guano not oqjy increases the crop so largely,
but insures it from two to four weeks earlier—thus
adding so long a time to the bearing seasnn. ad makes
a good crop, notwithstanding it bo attacked by catei

John B. Reese St Co—Dear Bftns: Another season con
firms my previously expressed convictions, that the
Soluble Pacific Guano, as compared wi‘h Peruvian, is
fully as good—indeed better. I have now tested it
sufficiently, using each side by side for two seasons, ap
plying the some weight of each per acre, and in every
case the Pacific he* given the best results on cotton,
corn, potatoes, and small grain, and the testimony 1
have from a great many Planters Confirms my experi
ence. WM. H. YOUNG,
ITT*Charles A. Peabody, Esq, of Lee oonnty, Ala.,
in a letrer to Wm. H. Young tays:
‘•Tho Peruvian Gnano I hud before used, and know it
to be an invaluable fertl izer for cotton. I now find
the Soluble Pacific to be equally as good. At the same
price 1 would as soon have it for eotton or com, as the
Peruvian ; some of my hands insist that it la belter. ”
