S. 11. §IESEL A HItO., Opposite Court House, Public Square. Dawson, Ga., Dec. 19, 1867—ts Frank Leslie's Ladies Magazine for January is, as usual, punctually on our table. It comes to us in anew and gorgeous style of cover, and with many other improvements in its differ ent departments. It is the most com plete faebion book that reaches us ; and the full size patterns accompany ing each number renders it particular ly valuable to the admirers of fashion.* The reading matter of this number is *tao most excellent. Nbw Book —Wo have been furnish ed by Messrs IlaveDa & Brown news dealers, of Macon, with a copy of the groat Eemition novel‘‘Tiger Lillies,” by Sidney Lanier. It is a Southern work, and is pronounced by competent judges the best thing of the season.” We will notice more fully at another time. Christmas —Our city presented any thing but the appearance of bard times during Christmas week. Men in every branch of business did a heavy busi nct-s. The confectioneries and toy shops were “.cleaned out,” and substantial were sold in large quantities. Very few of the freedmen wore tie old time appearance on Christmas—the majority of them being concerned about the next year’s rations. Wo heard of no serious disturbances of any kind—although tRc usual disor der reigned during the day. Heavy Importation. —One of the rrost attractive sights witnessed by us while in Macon last week was the mammoth stock of Cutlery, Crockery, China and Glass Ware receiving by our ftiend B. A. Wise, who spent most of the past summer and fall in Europe. His goods were bou jht and are being imported direct from the most celebrated manufacturers in all Europe They go through no second hands, and the usual large profits made by Northern dealers are saved to his customers. He already has the lurg est and finest stock this side of Savan nah, and is still receiving by almost •very train. Those mei chan's who have been in the habit of buying fur ther North, can save freight and many risks by sending their orders or calling on Mr. Wise. His reputation as a fair dealer is already well established throughout Georgia, and we do not wonder at his great success in busi ness. Cotton Stealing. Sambo on a Sfrek —Oa Friday of week before last three negro men in Cuthbcrt concluded to start out fer a Christmas fr.'lio. They accordingly bir ed a team and driver from a gentleman of that place, under protest of wanting to move their families from Terrell county. They arrived in Dawson Sat urday—sold a bushel or so of corn, bought whiskey vnd started out again. During that night they went to the plantation of a Mr. Allen, in Lee ccun ty, rolled a bale of cotton some half a mile to the wagon, and arrived with it here Saturday morning, carrying it to a warehouse. By representing that they had been delayed by a break-down, that it was their share of the orep, &e., they finally succeeded in storing and draw ing six dollars on the staple, with which they purchased a jug of whiskey acd departed. During the day, Sheriff Lasiter heard of the transaction and suspicioning something wrong, started with a few gentlemen in pursuit. The bummers were found a little after dark, son e six miles from Dawson, encamped for the night, drinking and industriously pre paring some white man's pig f o r their supper. They were brought back to Dawson and-“taken in out of the wet’* by the jailor. The driver being sent by his employ. ®r with the team, proved enough to Warrant his release, another of the party gave bond, leaving two of the gay and festive youths to seo their Christmas “through the bars.” Sic transit Ac.

The Hon Joshua Hill in a speech at Atlanta, a few days since, used the following language : He said that at one time he had been in favor of Georgia adopting the Constitution of Massachusetts,, upon the subject of suffrage ; his mind, how ever, had undergone a change. It was now necessary to er.franch'pe the “loyal” and prescribe the “disloyal'’ men of Georgia. Once Mr Hill stood high in Geor gia, and commanded the respect of good men, but we fear ho will lose the respect of his former supporters in his present ecurse. He can be a loyal man, • without making war upon hi* former supporters, and placing over them a sot of ignorant boobies, who have no idea of justice or of right. J. for Joshua—J. for Judas.

The extract given below is copied by the Baltimore Gazette from a pri vate letter received by a gentlemen in that city, from a correspondent in Canton, Madison County. Mississippi The letter was written on the 12th in stant, and is frnrn one of the most pro ductive counties in th* cotton growing portion of that Sta’e. Both the writer and recipient of this letter, says the Gazette, are persons of well known re spectability, and our readers may rely implicit? on .the statements made in it The writer says : “Nino planters out of ten are ruined. Besides losing heavily on the crops, their stock (horses and mu!»ft) is worth nothing scarcely. Mules that I paid 8230 for last spring, I could not get 8100 lor. There *eems nothing for a man to look forward to here. The sad experiortee of the last two years has convinced planters that it is impossi ble, at present pricee of provisions, for a hand to make more than enough to pay for his victuals and clothes, and feed his team ‘•There seems to he nothing like preparation for planting. Mon in the country say they are only going to try to make something to l.ve on. The most serious qiustion which arises is, what are the negtoes going to do ? Thiy hnve not the means to farm fo r themselves, and nobody can afford to hire them. • They are daily being dis charged by their employers, and are afloat without homes or visible means of sustenance. I greatly fear we will have serious trouble here with them ” It will be observed, says the New York Express, that the curse of Radi calism falls as heavily upon the unfor tunate blacks as it does upon the whites. Indeed it is more fa'al to them because they have not the recu perative power of the whites. In like manner it m’ght be easily shown that tho North as well as the South is to share in tbe b ight that Radicalism is now breathing like a pestilence upon the latter. Habd Times in Georgia — Neuj York Dee. 26.—The Times’ Atlanta Georgia, correspondent, says; Or.e of tho largest and wealthiest merchants in this city told me this morning that since the passage by the cooventi >n of the temporary ordinanae prohibiting tbe levy of executions aud sale of property be has been unable to eolbet a hundred dollars, and that all business, except a little retail trade, is practically dead throughout the State. A number of agents ofNoitbern meioantile bouses are hers, looking asblack as a thunder cloud. They are not collecting a dime. I never saw such stagnation and ut ter want of cocfiieDcc. Credit is dead and buried. Ouot.era Amono tiie Mississippi Negroes —The Cholera some weeks ago broke out among the negroes on the Bmkhorn Plantation, in Louisiana, near Miliikin’s Bend. The overseer, the only white person on the place, be coming alarmed, went off Dr. Danley was sent for, and, on arriviug, found fifteen dead and unburied. Those who bad not been taken with the disease paid no attention to either tho dead or the dying, refusing to assist in burying the dead. The doctor went to General Peck’s plantation, a few miles off, for the purpose of procuring help. The negroes there at first refused to go, but after being stimulated with whiskey, finally consented. In tbe meantime twenty more bad died, and in a day or two forty-eight, making in all eighty three. This dreadful mortality is sup posed to have been occasioned by tLe eating of fisb, which were caught in large quantities in somo lakes in the neighborhood, which had been nearly dry, the water remaining being very muddy, stagnant and offensive. There w re about a hundred negroes on tl e place, Negro DiMtui'bance lit Ala bama. Montgomery, December 25.—The negroes were out in force to-day, con trary to the municipal regulations and military orders, with guDs, pistols, etc., and in full uniform. No effort was made to suppress tbe demonstration.— In the afternoon several thousand ne groes were harabgucd in incendiary lan guage by Barber and Brainard, and other prominent Radicals. Late in tbe afternoon Barber and Brainard were ar rested by the military authorities. LATER. Montgomery, December 25.—1 tis reported that there was a disturbance at Grecneille last night. . A military dis tachnacnts was sent there to restore or der There are no rarticnlars but all was quiet at last accounts.

Facts Concerning Human Life.— The total number of human beings on the earth is computed at 3,00(1,000,000, and they speak 3,063 known tongues. The average duration of human life is 33$ years. One fourth of those born die before they are seven years old, and one half before they arrive at the age of 17. Out of one hundred persons, only six reach the age of 60. Out of five hundred persons, only one attains the age of 89. Sixty persons die every minute. Tall men live longer than short ones. Marred men are longer lived than the pit gle. Rich men live, on an average, 42 years, but the poor only 30. There is a drunkard to every 64. Come out for Grant. —Gov. Brown low, of Tennesse, is reported to have declared for Grant, as the Republican candidate for Prcrident, A Nashville letter says this is dcuc in compliance with an agreement that his own nomina tion to the Vice Presidency might be Eccured.
