the city a lively and enterprising air.

MANUFACTORIES. "
Macon has two cotton factories, known
as number 1 and 2, running 15,000 spindles
and S3 looms, and operated by tbe Bibb
Manufacturing Company, fonr brass and
iron foundries, two cotton gin manufac
tories, one carriage and boggy manufac
tory, one harness and leather factory, three
sash and blind factone*, and six brick
yards,
The goods from the Macon cotton mills
have a wide and favorable reputation, and
are sold in advance. The mills are in
flourishing condition, and are operated
Mr. J. F. Hanson. The foundries are
ways crowded with work, aod send forth
into tbe world a large number of Macon
manufactures. The engines, cotton gins,
cotton presses, horse and steam powers,
are sold in every Southern State, and are
unexcelled in point of effectiveness and
durability. Tbe carriage and buggy, and
leather manufactories are also important
factors in Macon’s progress. Tbe harness
and leather establishment of Bernd Bros,
is the largest in tbe South, and does
overwhelming business, shipping goods
even into Northern cities. The sash and
blind factories were necessary adjuncts
tli^ great advance made by tbe city during
tbe last ten years. Every store and bouse
bnilt in Macon during that time, was built
by Macon men with material manufactur
ed here. A large and important industry
is tbe manufacture of brick lie re. Tbe
levels below tbe city, furnishes tbe finest
brick clay found in America, and enter
prising men are utilizing it by means
steam run steel brick machines with
total capacity of 150,000 brick a day.
The manufacturers are pressed with orders
at all times, and the scene of their labels
Isa busy one. South Carolina, Florida
and Alabama receive from Macon con
stantly large shipments of these necessary
articles, and tbe whole State of Georgia
draws on her for burnt cisy. Tbe little
swamp below tbe city has not only built
Macon, but has reared costly stores and
court booses, station bonses, elevators and
public buildings elsewhere. At an aver
age of $0 per 1,000brick it willbe seen that
tbe brick yards are of the utmost im
portance
COLLEGES AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Tbe pride of Macon is her colle_
and public schools. The city Is tbe edu
cational centre of the State aud ’tis to
this point that tbe sous and daughters of
tbe South arc sent for mental and moral
training. First among these institution*,
in point of age, at least, is tbe Wesleyan
Female College, founded lu 1838. By
recent donations from George L Seuey,
Esq., of New Fork, tbe college has been
placed upon a sure financial foundation
and will henceforth be no more embar
rassed for want of funds. This famous
institution opened a few days since with
tbe largest attendance bad on opening day
for many yean. There are now in at
tendance over two hundred young ladies.
Flans for the new buildings, a eat of
which appears elsewhere, have been'adopt-
ed aud brick are being hauled to begin
tbe work of remodeling. By next Sep-
tember the new building will stand forth
on College Hill a monument to the gener
osity of Mr. Seney, and a grand advertise
ment to tbe college itself. It will be sup
plied with every modern convenience and
extensive library and scientific depart
ments.
Mercer University, situated on Tattnall
Square, West Macon, comes next. This
justly popular and prosperous institution
came from Penfield by invitation of this
city, from whom it receised such liberal
donations as enabled it to erect one of
tbe most beautiful structures in the coun
try . It possesses a faculty unexcelled in
tlie South, and annually sends into tbe
active world a large class of thoroughly
elucated and accomplished young men.
Fio Nono College, situated at the ex
treme of Vines!lie, comet next, a Catholic
institution, dating back to lSTJ. It, too,
has an ab!e corps of teachers and profes
sors, and Is both an ornament and a credit
to tlie city.
Mount de Sales Academy is situated on
Bass Hill. Its main building was form
erly tbe residence of Governor Towns, but
extensive additions have been made to it.
It is In charge of the Sisters of Mercy and
Is well attended. Its commencements are
marked by a brilliancy remaikable.
Tbe public schools of Macon are the
■r oet popular and best patronised of the
city's institution, net only because they
are free schools, but because of their thor
oughness. There are four white element
ary schools, two colored elementary schools
aud one white high school.
The total number of scholars in attend
ance are 1,351, white and colored. These
are taught by thirty-eight teachers. Prof.
B. M. Zeller is the general superintendent.
Supplemental to these are tbe Alexander
Higli School, supported by a Amd donated
by tbe late Elam Alexander, Esq., and
tbe Lewis High School, a colored institu
tion supported by tlie American Missionary
Association, of New Fork. Tbe former ie
a free school, the latter a part pay school.
While not exactly in tbe nature of a
school or college, we shall notice, also, the
“Appleton Church Home,” an asylum for
orphans, built by D. H. Appleton, of New
York, and In charge of Sister Margaret.
Heee Hilt Cemetery.
Probably the most naturally beautiful
of all spots in Georgia, is Rose Hill Cem
etery, situated ou tbe west bank of the
Ocmulgee river, in the city of Macon.
This celebrated bnrial place was laid out
In 1840, and to it were transferred most of
the remains then interred in tbe old cem
etery just ba'ow tbe city. The site for tbe
new cemetery was upon, as stated, the
west bank of tbe Ocmulgee. The land
billy, rolling aud densely wooded, broken
up into beautiful valleys and slopes, and
coveted in many places by a heavy carpet
ing of ivy. Art bas assisted nature great
ly in beautifying tbe place, tbe numerous
springs have oeeu walled inland tbe little
branches ornamented with rustie bridges.
Costly monuments and tbe well aept yards
are prolific of flowers and choice shrub
bery. No stranger bas ever visited this
spot without receiving impressions of its
loveliness, that lingers long after the
solemnity of the surroundings bare faded
from his mind. It has been several times
described by traveling correspondents and
others. Tbe following sketch was last
year published in these columns:
SUDNIOHT IN THE CITT OF THE DEAD.
It wss late in tbe night when in com
pany with a companion, like ourselves
moved by curiosity, we arrived in front of
Rose Hill Cemetery and pasted in silence
under the arch which, itself, stands like a
monument across the pathway of tbe liv
ing. Not a sound from all that vast rest
ing place of the dead aroee to break upon
tbe breathless air, save tbe monotonous
crunching of the gravel as we strode along
down the right, past the white monuments,
to the lowly beds of the Confederate dead.
What a sight! Line upon line, rank upon
rank, column upon column, as though a
regiment wearied and worn, had lain
down beneath those trees to rest. We
fancied once we beard in the distance
the faint echo of a bugle call, but as we
listened, tbe repeated booting or an owl
explained the sound. Never again will
the ranks uprise, nor stir. Never again
will those solemn lines be broken by
deatb, slckncts or furloughs. There in
tbe sound of the river they rest. Empires
may rise and fall, republics strengthen,
creak and die, and Liberty become im
mortal, but tbe changes will be rung no
more in tbe hollow circle of their lives.
Their labors are ended, and in tbe hearts
of Southern people their name and their
glory is preserved. We stop and read
upon tbe nearest head-board, “Unknown.”
It seemed the very irony of fate.
Leading away toward the river wss an
avenue, above which tbe trees clasped
hands and caught the gleaming dew-props
as they fell. Beneath we passed until the
flashing light upon the river shone upward
through the tangled brakes. Within this
aisle which followed tbe river course
through tbe cemetery the shadows are
away among the trees right and left, the
ivy carpets the ground from view. In one
plsce stood a giant tree entirely covered
by it, The vine bad climbed to tbe neao
est bow, awayed back in streamers, aud
woven iueif a banner that swung nearly to
the ground. Through this dark robe the
broken light found a passage. Scarcely
bearing each other’s footsteps, we were
traversing tbe avenue, when there fell
upon tbe ear, tbe low gurgling warble of a
mocking bird just breaking into song.
Away above us be bad hid himself. The
song, broken into snatches at first, grew In
power as the singer became enthused.
Wonderfully clear and musical It floated
down. The narrow aisle was filled with
a presence, as though the very incarnation
of music had swept by upon trembling
wings, and awoke a thousand fairy bells.
We could but listen. Thoughts, for
which neatber reason nor training are re
sponsible, at times flash over the mind,
and so as we stood there with all ths night
tremnlous with this strange rapture, there
came a dream, that this weird melody,
born out of tbe silence of deatb, was
chastened grief turned to joy, and made
immortal in melody. It came and passed,
casting a fleeting shadow on Belief, as the
shadow of a bird falls upon tbe upturned
face of an infant that watches, and leaves
its mark only upon memory.
Just out of the line of these aisles our
companion pointed to a group of pines,
whose trunks and branches wove them
selves into tbe semblance of a ruined
cathedral. Tbe columns were standing,
and tbe rotten roof, across whose opening
the white moon was swiftly gliding, teem
ed just ready to drop downward. A low,
murmurous breeze shook tbe foliage, and
like tbe far, faint chanting of a hymn, we
heard Its whispers. This low-voioed
breeze, this only sound which reaches ns
from eternity (DeQuincy), beard through
this temple of tbe pines above the graves
of many thousand, spoke its message not
In vain.
On we pass, up tbe river, turning once
to look into tbe hollow aisle we have for-
saken. The deep, transparent shadows,
* ? ^ the back ground Correg-
gio loved, the shades Rembrandt learned
so well. It only needed a fair fact beside
the scarred beech, to make the picture
>erfect, and who can doubt but there have
wanderers there, who, turning from
a flower-decked tomb, have paused to look
upon the perfect picture wrought by Mem
ory’s potent touch.
And so lingering no more, we continue
tbe journey. White robed forms stand
back ameng tbe trees pointing to heaven:
a chid sleeping upon a marble bed with
upturned lace at rest; a boy kneeling for
ever with hands clasped in prayer, and
silent crosses keep watch. Into the light,
into tbe shadow, we pats back and forth,
at these slumberers had passed through
joys and sorrows. The river is far away
behind us, the broad entrance before. As
we pass out we think if all tbe griet that
has sobbed beneath that arch could return
and find voice, tbe walla of heaven itself
would tremble end tbe eugelt’ song be
boshed.

The Central City- Park Is tbe pride of
Macon. It is situated upon tbe banks of
the Ocmulgee river just below the river
bridges, aud occupies a section of what
was at first supposed would be tbe busi
ness portion ol tbe city. It consists of
two hundred and fifty acres of level land,
containing ua extraordinary heavy growth
of timber. In the western division of the
park is tbe balf-mlle treck running under
tbe massive trees, tbe inclosure being
beautifully laid off into beds, and contain
ing a lake with fountains and tropical
plants. In this division also, is located
tbe splended fair buildings, or rather the
majority of them, viz- Premium Hall,
Floral Hall, Machinery Hail, tbe Dinini
Hall, Editors’ Home, Ladles’ Cottage an
Officers'Cottage. Throughout tbe grounds
are scattered statuary aud fountains, giv
ing tbe place an attractive tpp*arance.
The eastern division is devoted princi-
tally to tbe magnificent mile track, said to
>e unexcelled in the United States. It is
almost s perfect level, there being just
enough depression toward tbe centre to
drain it. Within this track indoanre is
tbe military parade grounda. In this di
vision are located tbe Graad Stand seating
tan thousand people, a grand Hippodrome
Agricultural Hall, equine homes, stock
pens, etc., etc.
This park, which was completed in
1871, cost the city $300,000. Visitors have
universally pronounced It the finest of
its size In America.
