Camp Nartlun May Soon Bo HIM With Georgia Volunteers. • The Atlanta Journal of yenterday contained the following, which will iotereat every citizen of Griffin, ae it may mean the mobilization of over one tboueand volunteers at Camp Northed within the next few days: “Two points of mobilize ion fur the Georgia troops may be decided up<-o. It is now proposed to concentrate half the volunteers here and the other half al Griffin. “Tt is said that there is not add. quate tentage here tor both regiment* and the two light batteries, and it has been suggested to the governor that the First regiment, recruited from the southern portion of the state, be mob* ilized at the state encampment at Griffin. ‘ All the field officers of both regi ments have been in conference at the Capitol today, and the matter is still under consideration. Present Indies* tions point to such a division in the concentration of the troops. “No troops will be moved before Thursday. Very few companies in state have been recruited to full strength, though a majority of them have notified the regimental com* menders that a full roll will bo bad before Thursday. Thia seems the day generally settled on, and from the best sources it was learned today that there waa little thought of bringing the troops together sooner. Under pres ent conditions, it would be impossible to begin moving the troops tomorrow." WORKS OF ART. Belford, Middlebrook & Co., of Chicago, are publishing weekly a series of beautiful portfolios, devoted to the AMERICAN NAVY AND CUBA The illustrations are reproductions of photographs, with introduction and descriptive texts, show* ing all the vessels of our navy, the MAINE, as she majestically rode the waves before her destruction, and all of her officers. CUBA, THE QUEEN OF THE AN TILLES, is illustrated in all its phases, from the captain general's palace to the hovels of its starving wretches—shown as it is today, not as it will appear after Sampson’s fleet has bombarded it, that will come later. We have made exclusive arrangements with the publishers whereby we will fur nish our subscribers with these beautiful portfolios, containing 16 reproductions in each number, at 10 cents for each series. The regular subscription price is 50 cento, and those wishing them, who are not sub scribers to our paper,.can secure them st that price. And they are well worth 50 cents. T We have samples of these beautiful works of art and history in our office which we would be glad to show you and take your subscription for the entire series or as many parts as you wish. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There ia only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the infiamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out Os ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces.

Tbe forts of Corrigedor island gave tbe alerm by firing on tbe intruder* ' but they seeufed to have ioflicted no serious damage. Tbe American squad ron moved up the bay and at 3 o’clock in the morning appeared before Cavite Here, lying under tire shelter of the i forts, waa the Spanish squadron Admiral Montejo, a few days before, went to Subic bay to look fur the ene my, but learning that they were vastly superior in force, bad prudently re* turned aod placed his ships under tbe protection or tbe forts. This was his only chance of meeting tbe enemy on something like equal terms, and it did not suffice - ' , ’ Boon the Americans opened fire. The Spaniards replied vigorously, and the combat continued without inter ruption for four hours, dcring which the Don Antonio de Ulloa was sunk, tbe Castilla and Mindanao were set on fire and tbe Rena Maria Christina aod tbe Don Juan de Austria were serious ly damaged. One or two of tbe smaller craft were scuttled by their erewf to escape cap ture. Others took refuge in a small neighboring creek, emptying into Baker bay, where presumably the American ships were unable to follow them. But not one surrendered "* Surprise. JWA diaappointment has been caused by the destruction done by the American fleet, ae it had been officially stated that tbe authorities at Manila had received sixty torpedoes and heavy guns to atrengtben the coast defenses, "particularly the de fenses commanding tbe two channels on tbe right and left of Corregidor island. It is suggested here that the half breeds at the Manila arsenals, who ars rebels at heart, cut tbe cables connect ing tbe sub-marine mines and thus enabled Commodore Dewey to force tbe harbor in safety. No real bombardment will be nec<« eesary to destroy Manila, if the shells are o! tuck a character as will set houses on fire, the bulk of which are of wood or of bamboo. Notwithstanding the limit to tbe information from Manila, tbe careful fact remains that Commoddfe Dewey is now in possession of Manila bay and can certainly take possession of Corregidor island, even if be finds dif ficulty in effectually capturing Mani la itself, owing to the absence of a necessary landing force Having thus secured a naval base, be will have no difficulty in securing supplies of coal. Lemons for Insomnia. From the Ashville Chronicle. The Rev. T. 8. Brown, the pastor of the Lutheran church of this city, is running opposition to Bishop Lyman on insomnia cures. Mr. Brown yesterday told a Chron icle reporter that lemon juice, diluted and taken just before retiring, will almost cer tainly produce sound and refreshingsleep. Mr. Brown also said that he had learned from an eminent physician that if diluted lemon juice were drunk after a heavy dose of it would prevent latter’s caus ing buzzing in the head.

Wai.hlnqton, May 3—The csbiuei i meeting today resulted in a decision i to await a report from Commodore : Dewey and then to send him the num ber of troops he deems necessary to i enforce our control of the PhilippineC, The whole session bee consumed in a general dbacussion of past evwete. The administration baa praelieaffy decided to occupy the Philippines wittf a strong military force ae soon ae pow»l •ible after tbe commodore's report* which ia expected tomorrow, has been ■ received. t > For thie purpose Pacific slope troope will be used, and it is expected that at least 5,000 will be enroute within the next ten days There does not seem to be any doubt as to the government's purpose to hold these islands' pending a final settlement with Spain, when they will be used as a collateral to se cure the pay meet to the United States of a war indemnity. High of* fioials are of the opinion that noce cl tbe powers will seriously dispute our right to make such final disposition of tbe islande ae suits our purpose in the eolorAment of war claims against Spain, and in any event this govern bent will be prepared to contest any point which may be raised on this score. A dispatch from Madrid says there is no talk of surrender there, either in ministerial circles or among the popu lace, but that Spain "will pursue the war to the bitter end. The authorities intend to throw the whole naval strength of Spain into one united and supreme effort against tbe United States fleet now in Cuban waters Un til this engagement is foggjil, no,pro posal for intervention will be to. ■" A dispatch from Havana via Mad* rid says the entire American fleet has sailed, presumably in the direction of Key West. The president has stated positively to the southern delegation that be bad appointed both Generals Lee and Wheeler major generals. '‘Political Generals” One of tbe curses of the Northern armies in the civil war were tbe“polit. ica generals.** There were lots of them who might be named, some from our beloved state of Massachusetts. Pres ident Lincoln yielded frequently to political considerations in elevating men of no military capacity to high command and while he may have act* ed wisely from the large standpoint of securing political support for the gov ernment, the field operations of the Union armies frequently suffered severely from such appointments. Is it necessary for President McKin ley to yield to the politicians io this war? He is surely under no such ne cessity. The country ia not divided against itself; one party is as patriotic as tbe other; no faction or state need to be placated. He is entirely free to appoint to tbe high places only train* ed'officers, men who have made arms their profession; or those who like Gen. Lee are educated and veteran soldiers. Tbe civil war proved that the West Point graduates and experi* enced officers were tbe ones to rely up on ; only in very exceptional cases, such as that of Gen. Logan, did a civ* ilian show the ability to command efficiently an army corps. Il is said that ten generals and forty brigadiers are to be appointed to com* mand tbe volunteer forces, and mili tary service has in tbe past proved so powerful a facto? in securing political emoluments that many an ambitious politician would give almost every thing he bad to secure one of these commissions But the President should trot yield to political influence. Place the professional soldiers at tbe bead; let tbe politicians and aspiring youth of high social station aerve in tbe ranks and win their glory at tbe cannon’s mouth.
