Though the notice of his coming was al- xnwit ua brief oh his stay, Mr. Davis went swuy from Macou with a heart swelling with joy and pride. Ho left behind him men, women and little children with moist* ened eyes and minds bewildered by con* flic ting emotions of joy and sorrow. We have never witnessed such an ovation to any man. A Urge crowd, intelligent, orderly, well dressed, with all the indica- tionri of people who make up a noble com munity, gathered to do the man ar.d the occasion honor. Howhero has he shown such deep feeling. Am he sainted the widow of Howell Cobb, presented his qwn daughter to his friends and referred to the fact thAt here she and her mother found friends and a home when the world was turned from them, the hearts of hu» listeners gave answer in tears. In another column the incidents of the occasion ore portrayed. Jefferson Davi* desired to come to Macon. The people wished him to come, and the memory of the scene will last with the liv^s of those who witnessed it. home Paragraph* and Paragrapher*. The Atlanta Constitution builds these paragraphs in its issue of Saturday : Mr. Darla will go to Pavannah by way of Augusta. Bv know that the Augusta paragrapher* will not abuse him for coming to Atlanta. We may now expect from our Macon contempo- imvy a column of abuse because Mr. Davl*. with great presence of mind, refuse* to be made a target ot He will go to Savannah by way of Augusta. Bnt even in Augusta the “flippant para- graphist” dwells, is may be seen by these specimens: The AUauta paper* talk about their ‘ ‘Jeff Davis edition*" a* if Jeff Devi* were tho main feature at the dedication and Ben UiU had uothing to do w||b it, unless it was to die in order to give Atlanta smother opportunity * for a big hurrah.—Augusta evening Newt.

Davis will ran near a very pungent paragrapbist, as will appear from this in the Augusta News: The Atlanta Con*tituttor^ with characteristic cn ItrpfUo. sent a correspondent to Montgomery to report the Jeff Davis meeting in that city. In hh reports in yesterday's paper the reader would infer that It was a Gordon demonstration purely, and • that the Davis part was a mere side show. There la So doubt of the object of this report. Our own let ter printed to-day in the Evening New* from Atlanta would seem to give force to this surmise. It would tsdssd be a pity should tho occasion of the unveil ing of the status to the lamented Ben Hill at the hands of the great and honored Jefferson Davis be seed for the base purpose* indicated.

After the ceremony a crowd of persona followed the officer ahonting ‘Vive le France,' and diiphtying great enthusiasm. The police diapenual tho mob." The golden fields of Alence and the purple vineyards of Lorraine hayebeen wrung from Franco by the iron hand ot war, but the hearts of the people of those two provinces cling to France rather than to Germany. The missionaries in the East arp writing homo that their position ii a very dangtr. ous one on account of the indignation felt by dhc Chinese at the outrages upon their countrymen. A tetter read at the meet ing of th- Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society, in Pittsburg, sets forth “the absolute necessity of strong treaty stipu lation for the protection of the mht- sinaries." Solemn treaty stipulations have been found utterly insdequste to protect Chinese from robbers, inc-tiaries and murderers ■..rtokkmI /aMmi-H. being dead to the world when they can agi tate two continents. The presenf visit of Mr. Davis to his friends in a couple of neighboring States has drawn protests from the English press and from some of the bloody shirt standard bearers at the North. Perhaps onr English friends nro appre hensive that straggling Irishmen may take new heart from the demonstrations, and some of our Northern brethren are indulg ing in very bad manners and worse language. Mr. Davis comes from bis home to par ticipate in raising a monument to the dead heroes of Alabama. He comes to Atlanta to take part in the ceremony of unveiling a statue to a great man who vms his friend in the days of his greatest trial, and he will close his tour in Savannah os a witness to two highly interesting events. A military organization of distinguished service in peace and war, one that has been highly honored by Washington, celebrates its centennial, and duriug the week devoted to this occasion the monument to General Greene will be dedicated, the friend of Washington, a hero ot the revolution, nud the first Northern man who has had a mon ument reared to bis memory in a Southern State. All these incidents appeal to the high est and best sentiments of the human heart Why should they disturb patriots'' It is not strange that they have no interest to miserable, little politicians. To the credit of the city of Albany, to the great State of New York, only two hundred men met to give utterance to wrath and re venge. Only two hundred at this one place sang We ll hang Jeff Davis on a sour apple tree," and these two hundred ought to rep resent nobody bnt themselves. The passage of a revolution by them de claring treason ' odious, is meaningless. Treason has always been odions, and will always he, but the taint of treason is found by the judgment of courts, and not by the howls of mobs. The incident is provoca tive of much righteous indignation, but even the voice of indignation would bo wasted on those who never had a hand in hanging anyone but a friendless foreigner and an innocent woman. The North does not ndniirc Jefferson Davis. Tho balance of the world does. The time has not arrived when tho icon of the North can do him simple justice, but the time is when the thinking men of thut sec tion should bo able to behave themselves. We prefer to think that the utterance of the New York Sun is a better evidence of the real feeling of the North than the rav. rags of a small mob at Albany. The San says: “No doubt, loo, there as throughout the South, to-day and to-morrow, as on Memorial Day, tributes of affection and honor to the gallant dead will not check the universal feeling of gratitude and pride in the restoration of ^ha Union, again the common country of ns nil.” 8HBEDS AND PATCHES.

Washisoios, April 30.- The Republican leaders are in high feather over Jefferson Davis's reappearance, os they see in it s campaign issne. Senator Sherman said to day that he was cutting ont of the news papers the speeches of Jeff. Davis, and the descriptions of the demonstration* in the South over him, and putting them wheie they wonid be bandy in the next campaign. He thought the Democrats were furnishing plenty of campaign material for the Re publicans, and that good nse would be made of it. ‘As for Duvis," said Mr. Shennan, "he is n monumental fool, a vain and disap pointed old man, nosing as a martyr, griev ing over his failure, and appealing for sym pathy What he says is of no particular consequence. Everybody knows that lie lias felt just as he talks all the while; but the significant part of it all lies in the man ner in which his words are received by the people. The demonstrations of approval, the enthusiasm they create, that is what will affect the loyal element of the oonu- (ry and make the blood of those who fooght to save the Union boil with indignation. The effort of the Democratic party for many years has been to convince the peo ple that such sentiments os Mr. Davis ut ters aro not cherished by the South. Every ouc who has charged that they do has been accused of reviving sectional issues and waving the bloody shirt. Yet Mr. Davis exclaims that the spirit of Southern liberty is not^deud, and the whole mass of the peo ple shoot their enthusiastic assent.” Ex-Governor Foster of Ohio, who is here, says that the effect of Davis' speeches will lie felt iu every village and hamlet in the North, particularly among those who re in the army, and the result ril! he seen in the returns of the next election. Yon will hear thut speech repeated from every platform and every stnmp in the Northern States, and before the campaign is over the Democratic party will wish that old Davis had been born dumb." Ou both the Semite and House sides of tiie capitol and among members of both parties the speeches are the subject of con versation, and wherever a knot of Congress men are gathered one may be sure that they nre discussing the political effect of, them. The Democratic Congressmen are swearing at Davis and his munagera. There have been a number of telegrams of remonstrruce scut to Gen. Gordon, and he has been begged to suppress Davis, or at least to steer him off upon some other topics than those he has been discussing. "In the excite ment at Montgomery/’ said a Democratic Senator to-day, “they don't realize what infernal fools they -are making of them selves, bnt they will find out when they come to see what advantage the Republican papers and politicians will take of his ut terances." Oen. Gordon** Probable Candidacy. Personally the editor of this paper is a friend to and admirer of Gen. Gordon, and when he was so bitterly assailed for that untimely and nnfortnnnte resignation as United States Senator, we raised onr voice and exerted onr limited inflnence in de fense of his honor and good name. Bnt Gen. Gordon to-day and we believe through the instrumentality of designing politicians—threatens to place himself in a position that no fair minded man can en dorse or follow, viz.; os a dernier resort candidate for Governor, brought ont as n forlorn hope by the enemies of Maj. Bacon, and for the sole object, of encompassing that gentleman’s defeat. If Gen. Gordon announces*' himself, the people will clearly see and understand his object, and he is snre to receiva in tbe con vention or at tho [tolls a just aad withering rebuke. He has thousands of warm friendq and admirers throughout Georgia who Htand retdy to endorse ami honor this gal lant Confederate officer whenever they can do so without lending their aid to a politi cal scheme that is unfair to a gentleman whom the people' consider equally deserv ing their trust and support as Oeu. John B. Gordon or any other man -Major Uoeon. Hod Gordon's candidacy been annoanced at any other and in any other manner than with its present peculiar and con- spicous surroundings, the populace would have hailed his name witli acclamations ot pride and joy, and he could have mails a gallant light for the high ollico.to which he aspires; but should be uow enter tbe arenn it will bo bcuentb a cloud of public dis trust thut, like a pillow of darkness, will stand be.ween him and the goal of his urn- bitlon. As sure os the sun rises iu the eas and sets in the west a defeat, and un over whelming and mortifying defeat, too, will be bis portion. Even tbe greut intluence of onr two Uui'ed States Senators, and the combined political power of Atlanta cannot sav . him. In past contests, this great po litical triumvirate of onr State stood in tho light of bci g assailed, and the people by tbeir votes came to tbeir re-cue anil vindication. But now tho taldee are turned, and when Gen. Gordon announces bis candidacy it will be looked upon attempt to take an unfair advantage of a pnre statesman anil n true Democrat, sim ply because he is not s number of u curtain political clique that is determined to leave no effort nntried to encompass bis defeat. So long as a shallow of hope remained tor the nomination of Judge Simmons, the contest was left with the two distinguished gcutlemeu'of Macon; hut when there whs discovered throughout the length and breadth of the State such an overwhelming and nnmistakafcle sentiment for Maj. Bacon, that even at this early day annoanced n triumph over his adversary. Bacon’s foes discovered that they must find stronger men than Judge Simmons. After vainly casting their eyes over the State, they at last rested on Florida, and it wok then determined, os a last hope, to recall General Gordon to Georgia, and thee if his gallant military services, backed by a ring that bos for yean controlled our politics, could not break tbe solid phalanx of Demo crats that surrounded Bacon, and tbns de feat anil forever retire to the shades of pri vate life a man whose only fault is an avowed determination, if elected Governor of Georgia, to submit to no dictation ex cent the will of the people. We cannot believe that General Gordon, when he sees for himself the nprising of the musses iu behalf of the adversary that he mast melt, and understands the true invrardnees of the politicians that are urging him to enter the contest, will lend his name to such an un fair scheme. Georgia stands ready to honor Gen. Gordon whenever he asks it iu the right spirit ami for himself; Imt the people will not accept him its the tool of a political clique, solely' with a view of defeating an acceptable and good man.—Athens Uunner- Watchman. Homs Foreign I’arioual*. Loxnox, May 2.,—At the banquet ot the Royal Academy yesterday evening. Sir Frederick Leighton being present, received The Proposed Florutn Extension—Its Value to -Macon. Ousx.gr, Ua,, April SO. Enron Tklxorahi: From Mr. Macheu's Sunday conversation as reported in the Tt:t.t:oi!Ai>n, we leant that “the Florida ex tension is no part of the Richmond and Danville enterprise, though their intention is to embrace it in its system." The reason of its willingness is given in an interview which appeared in Sandfly’s Teleouapi). “The Richmond niid Danville Railroad wants a portion of the great increasing through travel to Florida." Mr. Machen also says, “that he would t>e delighted to go in with some Macon men tend continue on to Florida," and adds, as a reason for Macon's continuing the route to Florida, “that the tide from North to Sonth would How through Macon, and the local benefits to Macon will be too ap parent to every business man to need men tion." A careful survey of the route char tered by the Lane syndicate, and which would have been constructed but for nnfor- tnitous circumstances in the financial world, will convince the biisinesl men of Macon that it will be of more value to Macon than any road now running into the city. Of this we have written before and will not now recapitulate, bat simply give the Flori da part of the extension. Quitman has raised $50,0(1(1 for its construction to their town, and knowing Got.’ Lane’s in tention was to embrace .Quitman, in passing onto Lake City, I will give prole- able ronte sonth, commencing at Quitman. Tiie road in pausing south, would cross Withl iconchee river and peas near llellville, and from thence, crossing ARapnhs river at tbe Natural Bridge, pass Jasper, county town of Hamilton county, and there cross tiie Savannah. Florida and Western rail road in passing to White Sulphur Springs, one of the most noted springs in Florida, and from thence to Lake City, where it will intercept the Jacksonville, Pensacola, Mo bile and Darbyville railroad; also tbe Sa vannah, Florida and Western to Gaines ville. In passing southward it wonid reach Waldo, where it wonid intercept the Florida Railway and Navigation railroad, and I’en- iusnia railroad. These toads open up all South Florida, and northward retch Feraiindina. From Waldo southward to Falatka on St. John’s river. Steamships coming to • Jacksonville come also to 1‘alatka. By means of s)xi|» piag at this place, you have the world to market naval stores and pine lumber, aa well us have access to all tbe lakes in South Florida, and if salt water is needed, cross St. John’s and St. Augnstine is reached. .We have mapped ant a line going sonth unsurpassed in its advantages to freight and passenger carriage, and incorporated in Richmond and DuDville syndicate, make it the best syndicate in the Sontb. Of this I will not now write. Mr. Machen well Bays the advantages 'ore too apparent to mention, and 1 shall not, certainly. Will a road of so great importance fail of beiog constructed') Will Macon allow it to fail' Can she afford to ullow it? Her busi ness men and capitalists mast answer nt least in part. Atlanta's experience ought to tench Macon a lesson. She lost the Midland, she lost the Savannah, Dub lin and Macon Railroad in it, extension to Birmingham. Overweening confidence- lost tbe Midland. Macon’s overweening confidence may loos* this magnificent opportunity offered to her bus iness men in this Florida extension. At lauta has waked up to her loss too late to remedy it. Tho Hawkinsville projected narrow gauge ■ hows her determination to repair her loss, if possible. If Macon fails to moke the Florida extension she wilt, like Atlanta, awake when too late to her irre parable loss. Atlanta with bent yndicates may easily ran a line directly south, cross ing Southwestern railroad at Montezuma, ant occupy this field and Mfteon stand by and Me the untold wealth, which by right wai here, passing into Atlanta’s coffers. It Macon will do her duty tbe prize is hers. Foiling it npiy become another's. I have passed over, by private conveyance, the entire route trom Macon to l’aiatka. I know whereof I write, when I say from Macon to l’aiatka the road will be located through the best landed country of any rood now run ning ont of Macon. Thu road will be constructed either to Macon or Atlanta sooner or later, identified with Macon. 1 always look to and feel that Macon is my home. In her prosperity I rejoice and feel proud, of my boyhood home. I want to sec her, us her position watmnts, the grandest city iu Georgia. This extension will help tn make her so, und also the great railroad centre. Her Wesleyan, Mercer and Noun colleges make her the educational centre. She de serves all. 1,wonid givo iter every addi tional excellence that heart could wish. Will her sons bestir themselves und udd this road to her already large uumborof roads. Wo await and will watch tho Macon TKi.Km:.mi to sec what she will do in reference to the Florida extension. The road extended and incorporated in the Richmond nud Danville syndicate will make all investments mude in stock secure. Along tbe line subscriptions to tho capital stock in land and money will aggregate n large amount. We are anxioas tor the ex tension in Quitman, and have already in notes and giiod subscription SoO-lKIO. Oth er places will do os well proportionately nt leasts. What will Macon do?.Will her cap italist join in with Mr. Machen and con struct this road? N. B. Ousucr. WOMAN’S WOOT. LIGHT HEADING FOB THE EDIFICA TION OF THE FAIR SEX.
