Tiix unhappy bird is the bird that does not buit^> nest Thebe are gayer things than the wind even when it whistles. Few things art* sadder than a pair of feminine eyes that watch in vain. Ir the cyclones were to conclude to take “bi-ennial" trips [across this State, emigra tion would be in order. Of coarse we mean “bi-ennial" as the Legislature understands it. Some of the Georgia papers speak of “Alexander H. Stevens." Earthly fame is fleeting, and even the names of promi nent actors in earthly scenes arc not secure till their coffins have crumbled. Tnire is a striking peculiarity about the exiles that the despotic authorities of Bussia banish to tire frozen steppes of Siberia. They never lose their affection for their native land, and are even more loyal to the Interests of their despotic ruler than when domiciled at home. The subject of atmospheric changes is not well understood. The best that science can now do is to detect sudden and violent changes, and to warn poople of the ap proach of storms. Even the little that sci ence is able to reveal in till#line is not fully utilized for the public good. Whence the storms come, hour they originate, how they arc impelled, how their vast power is dissipated—are ques tions over which human science toils and gropes and guesses. But for all this, It comes away from their consideration erect, smiling and self-confident—loaded down with impossible and mysterious theories, more difficult of understanding than the original difficulties. Mix are prone to take a telescope when hunting objects upon which to bestow their charities. The statement that “dis tance lends enchantment to the view" is of msnifdd application. A heathen in Asia is supposed to be worth more than a hea then in America. It wouldn't be amiss to drop the telescope for a while and try the microscope for the sake of a refreshing change. It would make the American heathen smile. Rt-sstA is the only empire that presents an unbroken stretch across twocontinents. Under wise and humane methods, it la im possible to estimate the Influence for good that it would exert on the millions that follow its banner, from the Baltic on the west to the shore of the far-distant Pa cific on the east. The thought ought to be an Inspiration to humanity even in the bosom of a hard and rugged Romanoff. Fast Mall Trains. The fast train on the Atlanta division of the Central railroad becomes a slow train now and then. This has occurred three times during the present week. The down train from Atlanta was sadly liehind some days ago, while tho up train, due at Atlanta at 7 a. m., did not reach there on the morning of the 19th until thirty-two minutes after S o'clock, and on the morning of the 20tli it ar rived still later at ten minutes to 9. These failures to arrive on schedule time are great disappointments to trav elers, to correspondents and newspa- paper readers. On both these occas- sions the Teleckaph and Messenger was not received at the Atlanta post- office in season to be distributed by the carriers on their morning rounds, nor could it be forwarded by the early out ward bound morning trains on the Air Line, the Western and Atlantic, the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor gia, and the Georgia Pacific roads. If any one is at fault, and somebody probably is, we trust he or they will consider the feelings of a passenger bound on important business who is forced to lie over, even in the famous Gate City, and of the subscriber* to the Tele graph and Messenger, who go about the streets and the country, sad and in consolable, because their favorite jour nal has not reached their outstretched hands on time. The Central road has a fine road bed betw een Macon and Atlanta, and with the new- coal burning engines, which will soon be attached to the fast trains, the public may expect more regular service and possibly quicker time. We remember when the mail train left Savannah al 7 a. m. and arrived in Macon in time for supper. The traveler rested here at tile old Lanier House, the Floyd House or the Washington Hall until next morning, when he was whisked up Cotton avenue to the Ma con and Western depot near the present site ot St. Paul’s church. Here he purenased his ticket, paying five dollars for it, and took passage iu very common coach for Atlanta, ar riving there ifite in the afternoon, and remaining over until the next day. A journey which then required thirty-six hours, is now accomplished in les^than one-third that time. In those primitive railway times, there were no night trains, and of course no sleeping cars, and there was consequently no use for hendlights on locomotives. Wagner had not then been heard of, and even Pullman was unknown quantity. Looking back to those days, when there was comparatively little travel, and when young men courted and mar ried nearer home than they do now, per haps both travelers and newspaper rcad- mightfind cause to be more consider ate and less exacting. Even the ex press company, with its genial, handy entourage, had not then gladdened the world, and postal cars and postal cards remained for future discovery. Were those some of “the good old times’ about which one now hears so much? must I those years» sired \ the i ask Bibb, roll, the i Asia rest* under the shadow of the great Russian Empire.

The prediction of Napoleon as to Europe’s becoming ‘’Republican or Cotsack In fifty years" was not verified. Russia then was vastly more influential in European capi tals than she is to-day. The virtue of courage never fails to meet with earnest recognition, in all lands and among all people. Among savage people it is regarded as the first of all virtues. Really it Is the foundation of all other vir tues. The courage to do right at all times, to resist temptation, to midntafn one’s in tegrity, to speak the truth, to expose error and fraud and wrong-doing, and maintain the right as between man and man, prin cipic and principle, must of necessity underlie all human virtue. True human greatness can rest on no other foundation. i to Hon. C. Robin, R. Be A day or two sinro there arrived in this city a distinguished guest who lias lieen w intering in the tropic*. He came without bag or baggage, extra wraps or even railroad ticket, having dead headed himself over the air line; and lie dpen not propose to pay hotel fare while remaining with us. Somewhat dudcisli in his get up, Wearing a dark cap and coat, a scarlet vest, ami flesh colored pants skin tight, lie attracted at once the attention of the small boy who contrary to city ordinances and in violation of the natural laws of courte sy and hospitality, has amused him self by making tho visitor a target for his Alabama sling and cap rifle. But older folks are more courteous the gentle stranger than the mis chievous boy. Of all- visitors he is Use mi>st cheerful and sociable. Having summer and a winter home, he follow the mild weather as it journeys semi annually South and North. Without care, fed on the best, free of cost,.wher ever he journeys, he can afford to cheerful, and his clieery whistle and merry song in our gardens and Jawn* attest the fact that he is not only happy but disposed to share his high spirits with all the neighborhood. His ap pearance at this seaam signifies that the backbone of winter Is broken, the gifted traveler never makes a mis take in this matter; and that the sea son of flowers, song birds, and the early vegetable—especially tho early vegeta ble—is at hand. With this in mind, we beg leave „ extend to him publicly a hearty wel come ami the freedom of the city, the same time warning him to keei ■harp lookout for the Alabama sling in neighborhood* where the police do circulate. and the balance of the data needed, be sought for in the memory of who survive their organizations.

The following is a list of the heroic dead: Telegraphic Newe Service.

Its advocates are quite will ing to leave tho tariff where if is, but if any change is to be made, they claim that it would be better for the Southern people to increase, rather than reduce existing duties. The time seems to be approaching in the Southern States when the white people, like Abrahpm and Lot, will sep arate into two parties, the one going to the right and the other to the left. We do not know that this would be a misfortune to the country, especially if the negroes should also divide and align themselves with the two organi zations. We have practically already two political parties of the white peo ple in Georgia, with one of which the negroes always unite when there is a necessity for it. The chief danger to be apprehended from such a division, is the possible restoration to power of the foul combination of carpet-baggers, scalawags and negroes which got pos session of the government soon after the war. ■Lieutenant-Commander George W. Be long; Jerome J. Collins, meteorologist of the expedition; Dr. James M. Ambler, surgeon; Walter Lee, seaman; George Washington Boyd, seaman: Henry Han sen Knaack, seaman; Carl Augustus Gortz, seaman; Adolf Dressier, seaman ;i Nelsc Ivor-on, seaman; Ah Sam, cook. The remains ol this gallant band have been brought from the Lena delta over the frozen wastes of northern Rus sia, and across Europe and the Atlantic ocean, many thousands of miles, or half around the globe, to be burled at home among friends. Wo do not think that expeditions to thq Arctic regions are either wise or profitable, but others entertain a dif ferent opinion, and arc ready to risk their lives and tlie happiness of their families in search of the North Pole. Lieutenant Do Long and his gallant followers, like hundreds of his daring predecessors, lost their lives in an at tempt to reach the frozen goal of naval ambition, and now their dead bodies have been brought home for interment. Let them be buried with every possible mark of respect and affection. Men who sacrifice their Uvea, even in a vain endeavor to extend the boundaries of human knowledge and to benefit their fellows, deserve and will receive tlie admiration of the good and brave of every land. Sad Deceivers." Such are the pathetic words employed by the negro Republicans of Bibb county to’ characterize “the few so- called white Republicans,” as they are pleased to denominate their political associates of the Caucasian race. The reader must have been amused, if not instructed, by tlie proceedings of the meeting held by tlie negroes in this city on Thursday night and pub lished by us yesterday. Our reporter, after diligent inquiry, has failed to dis cover the exact cause of the onslaught made by “the brother in black” upon “the few so-called white Republicans. ’ ’ That there are serious divisions in the party we see no cause to believe. tlie contrary, • the present quarrel probably has its origin in a contest over the appointment of delegates to the State and national conventions, and the passing of a trifling pecuniary consideration will quickly adjust so trivial a matter as this. There can be but little doubtthatthe delegation from Georgia has already been practically secured for Mr. Ar thur. The negroes, as far as they know anything on the subject, may have a preference, some of tliqm for General Logan and a few for Mr, Blaine, and their late demonstration may have been intended to manifest os much. But we are surprised they have not long since discovered that tlioy really have no voice in the determination of this or any question of importance. The only use the white Republicans have for them is to pull tlie chestnuts out of the fire. The white Republicans are good enough to let them do tlie voting, but they take all tlie offices The negro may black the l>oot, but’the white man wears it. “Xiggcrbakc de hoccake, but dc white man eat ’em.’ The treatment of the blocks by the Republican party will be recorded in history os one of tlie blackest crimes of modern times. His sudden umancipa tion, and the gift of tho clectivo fran chise before he was prepared to exer cise it, was a great wrong both to the negroes nnd the whites; but the man ner in which they have been deceived and debased, and shuffled by Republican gamesters for the most corrupt purposes, far surpasses in turpitude. Instead of elevating the negro, they lmvc debased him. Tho ballot placed in Ids hand lias proved two-edged-sword, the only use of wldch lie. lias been taught Is to wound him self. press on both sides of the Atlantic as snub to tlie United States. Considering the extreme political and economic views held by Herr Lasker, and his relations to tlie dominant power Germany, it was a very foolish thing the part of the House of Representa tives to adopt such a resolution, and an equally foolish tiling in the govern ment to forward it to Berlin. The re buke administered by the iron chan cellor was timely, and will have tlie ef fect, it is hoped, of teaching Congress attend to its own business here after. The government as well as Con gress has of lato years got too much into the habit of interfering iu the affairs of other nations. Strangers sometimes come to this country and abuse our hospitality by hatching conspiracies against friendly powers, and if oil their return home tlioy taxe the life of a fel low creature, Congress, State Legisla tures and high public functionaries feel called upon to intervene, and ask that the violated laws of the country may set aside and tlie criminal turned loose. Our relations with Germany have not been cordial of late, and it may bo that Bismarck would not object to having a little naval war with the boastful Amer icans. He knows very well that we have no navy, and that our seacoast cities are without adequate protection. would be ouly a pleasant picnic to sweep our little war ships from the sea, destroy our commerce, harry our' coasts and reduce many of our cities to ashes. Germany has well equipped and powerful fleet, compared to our own. A short, sharp and necessarily victorious naval war with the United States would divert the German mind from troubles home, and would possibly have the effect of arresting, for many years, the swelling tide of emigration to this country. We have mode a mistake, and the shortest and easiest way out of it is to admit the error and do better here after. years the. Democratic Divisions in Alabama. The Democratic party in Alabama is threatened with serious trouble und division. The Alabama “Industrial league” is perfecting an organization whicii is intended to forward the cause of protec tion to home industries and American labor. The so-called revenue reformers oppose and denounce this movement, and call for lower tariff duties on importations of foreign materials and manufactures. Both factions threat on to nominate candidates of their own for Governor, Congressmen and mem bers of the legislature. Like all do mestic troubles, tlie quarrel is getting to be bitter and unreasonable, and threatens the Integrity, if not the su premacy, of the party in the State, The advocates of the “Industrial league” declare it to be their purpose to make their fight inside tlie party or ganization, unless forced to make it outaide, but make it they will in onp way or the other. Tlie revenue re formers, or friends of lower duties, on the contrary, taking their cue from the Louisville Courier-Journal, seem dis posed to drive tlie former outside tlie party, and to force tlie fighting on that line. The State of Alabama abounds in il limitable fields ot ore and iron of excel lent varieties. Forges, foundries, work shops and manufacturing enterprises are springing up all over the northern half of the State. These industries be ing yet in their infancy, the Industrial league feci that they are just in tlie condition where they roost require tlie fostering care of the government. Northern industries and manufactures have had the benelit of this protection for more than fifty years. Now that they do not stand so much in nee of it, while the younger and weaker es tablishments in the South do require it and cannot well live without it, the The Trouble With Cermany. The American and European press considerably exercised just now over the threatened rupture of friendly re lations between the United States and Germany. As the reader may not have kept along with the several stages of the misunderstanding, we would state that on January 9th, just before the close of tlie day’s session of the House Representatives in Washington, Mr. Ochiltree, a somewhat cranky member from Texas, offered the following reso lution ; Remlred, That the House has heard with deep regret of the death of the emi nent German statesman, Edward Lasker. "Tbst his loss is not alone Co be mourn ed by the people of his natire land, where Ms firm and constant exposition of and devotion to free and liberal ideas has ma terially advanced the social, political and economic condition of those people, but by the lovers of liberty throughout *' world. "That a copy of these resolutions be tor- warded to the family of the deceased, as well os to the minister o( the United States resident at the capital of the German Em pire, to be by him communicated through the legitimate channel to the presiding of. fleer of the legislative body of which ’ was a member.” There being no objection the resolution was considered and adopted. The resolution was. duly forwarded to Berlin, and the following is the text of Prince Bismarck’s communication in reply: A Brief Rooord of the Military Compa nies In the Confederate Service From This County. Railroads as Prohibitionists. The Central Railroad Company has taken a practical step in behalf of tho temperance cause, and the world would be all the better and happier if other railway companies everywhere would follow its example. The step to which reference is made the promulgation of an order forbid ding the employes of the company to use ardent spirits or other intoxicating drinks while on duty. Tlie order in cludes all the officers and servants of the corporation, froin the highest down to the humble, but useful switch- tender. This order is not only n most impor tant step in the great movement for temperance reform, but it will largely add to the safety and comfort of rail way travel. No one can know how many of tlie accidents which occur on railroads, are tlie direct results of in temperance. A neglected switch, a minute late in starting while tho con ductor and engineer go for their part ing gloss, an oversight on the part of tlie inspector of tlie locomotive and wheels, or a trifling delay in tlie re ceiving and delivery of luggago by a drunken baggage master, may end in the sacrifice of hundreds of precious lives. Even where tlie employe does not in dulge to excess, tlie delay or excite rnent occasioned by a single drink, or the nnxiety to reach tlie station where the next glass is customarily taken, may result in a terrible disaster to persons and property. The Central Railroad Company lias placed tho entire public under great ob ligations by this timely order. We know of no railroad any where that lins a finer body of officers and men in its employ. The several railroads in Geor gia arc equally fortunate in this respect. No one who luis bad occasion to travel nmeh lias failed to observe the marked improvement in the character of tlie conductors, engineers and others who have control of passenger trains. And yet the order promulgated by the Cen tral company is eminently proper, since it provides an additional safeguard, not only to passengers, but to their families left behind. Will not the other railroad compa nies in Georgia follow the exnmplc set them by the Central? “Any recognition in a foreign country of the personal qualities of a German, especially when mode by so important a boilv as tlie House ot Representatives, is gratifying to our national feelings. I should have gratefully accepted the com munication made by Minister Sargent, and should liave asked the Emperor to em power me to present it to the Reichstag, If the resolution hod not contained an opinion regarding the object and ef fect of Herr Lasker'spolitical tivlty. which was opposed to my con victions.

The Jfonroe Advert iter says: “The executive committee of tho agricultural society decided to hold a fair in Macon next fall, provided the city will raise three thousand dollars. The following committee was appointed to make ar rangements at once: H. H. Cary, GeorgeW. Adams, M. J. Hatcher, R. J. Powell, W. B. Jones, and tlie presi dent and secretary of the society. “We understand that Macon has already agreed to comply with the con dition imposed on her, and there fore the State fair may be counted on as a certainty. This it gratifying. It has been long since Georgia bad a State fair, and we doubt not the people will relish one, and will take a great Interest in it.

THE MACON VOLUNTEERS. The Macon Volunteers was organized on April 23d, 1825, wiUi E. W. Wright, cap tain; Wm. J. Danncliy, first lieutenant; Robert Birdsong, second lieutenant; John Chain, third lieutenant. The company when first organized consisted of about forty members. The following gentlemen liave commanded the company us captains in the order framed: Wm. J. Dannelly, Lemuel Newcomb, A. R. McLaughlin, Isaac G. Seymour, Isaac Holmes, Z. T. Conner, James Bivins, Robert A. Smith, Geo. S. Jonhs, Charles M. Wiley, and W. W. Carnes, who is yet in command. Tlie Macon Volunteers in company with the Floyd Rifles, of this city, and the City Light Guards, of Columbus, left Macon on the 10th of April, 1801, twenty-four hours after moving orders had been received, for Norfolk, Virginia. These companies were the first troops to arrive in Virginia and were stationed at Norfolk under the pre sumption that an attack would be made upon that place in retaliation for the destruction of United States property. About two weeks after their arrival, these companies were joined by tlie Spalding Grays of Griffin, and from the four companies was formed the Second Georgia Batallion, which served throughout tlie entire war. The history of the Volunteers as a com pany, Is identical with that of tho Floyd Rifles, tlie roll of which will be given on Sunday next. The Volunteers left Macon with sixty-eight men rank and file. With them went members of many of the leading families of tho city. While not actively engaged during the first year at Norfolk, the company was thoroughly drilled in all branches and furnished to tlie Confederacy from its roll of 200 members during the war, seventy-two officers. The company was iu the seven days' fight around Richmond, audat Fredericks burg in 1862; In the fight at Elizabeth Furnace Mayl, 1863; at Chancellorsville, May 2nd; at Fredericksburg, May 3rd, ami at Gettysburg, Manassas Gap, Bristow Station, Mine Run and Thoroughfare Gap the samo year. In 1861 it was in the fights at The Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court house, North Anna river, Cold Harbor, Barker's Ridge, Petersburg, RcamsStatlon, Deep Bottom, Bollesficld, Fort Wadsworth; and at Farmrille and Drury’s Bluff In 1865, surrendering twenty-eight men with Lee at Appomattox. At Gettysburg the company had only thirty-tlirco men in the beginning of the fight, and five at the close, twenty-eight having been killed and wounded, and some of tlie latter taken prisoners. In this fight every officer In the company was wounded, and two lieu tenants, E. J. Granniss and T. R. Campbell •liod from their wounds. The following is the roll of the company at the surrender: George 8. Jones, L. Ripley, James G. Harrison, H. D. Hill," Frank Tye, W. B. Carter, W. A. Rogers, Theodore Wells, C. W. Gruber, James T. Hill, Lewis B. Rhodes, Thomas D. Smith, George A. Keith, Benjamin C. Smith, John R. Griffin, O.C. Hill. T. H. Jones, J. A. Alston, D. M. Durrct, T. L. Daniel, Stephen Eider W.U. Lockett, J. T, Register, George W 8eymour. Only three members served with the Volunteers from the first enlistment to the final surrender as privates, vix: B. C. Smith, Z. T. Conner, Jr., end J. R. Griffin. Of these only the forqier is now living. The war roll, as noar as can be now ascer tained, was as follows: orricxas. {Captain It. A.
