SRIFFIN SEMJ-WnKLTS TAR 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.

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. jgy- “Why don’t you limit yourself ?” said a physician to an intemperate person. “Set down a stako Ihut you will go far and no farther.” ~ .... “Ido,” replied tli{ other, “but I set it so far off that I always get drunk bof.re I to it.” Jno.

The Herald saye: “Menard, the ooloTed Congressman from Louisiana, saye he wrote to Governor W aro moth for his certificate over two weeks ago, and has received no answer yet. He is inclined to believe that Warmoth wants to play him a trick, and by withholding his certificate lead the Committee on Elections to suppose that the Governor of the State has his doubts about the legality of his election. Menard is ansparig in his de nunciations of the corrupt ring of Repub licans in power in Louisian*. Warmoth, ho says, is at tho head of the arrangement. The Northern carpet-baggers (tome in for a liberal share of his animadversions. He is satisfied now, after a few years experi ence, that the carpet-baggers are scoun drels, and that the colored people are fast coining to the same conclusion. His treat ment here by the Republican Congressmen has sunk deeply into his soul, especially tho contemptuous manner in which his Radical colleagues from Louisiana, elected by colored votes, have acted towards him since his arrival.
