r i» delightfully speut day we re-
1 with the crowd from Macon about
THE WADLEY MEMORIAL.
The SUoSetected—ProposecI Park on Mul
berry Street.
At a recent meet : ng of the city council a
memorial was presented to that body from
a committee of the Wadley Memorial As
sociation, asking for a location on one of
the streets for the monument to the late
Col. Wadley, the majority of votes cast by
the members of the association having
elected that it should be located in Macon.
That committee was Major A. C. Knapp
of Macon, Major J. W. Green of Augusta
and Captain John A. Davis of Al
bany. These gentlemen yesterday met
with Aldermen Horne. Cox and Payton,
the committee from the city council, and
agreed upon the proper location. The site
selected was at the intersection of Third
and Mulberry afreets, or directly in front
of the engine house of Young America No.
3.
Sixty feet square was the space asked
for, which was granted, though it is hardly
probable that much will be necessary. The
enclosure will no doubt be oval or circular
in shape.
As has already been stated, the statue
will be nine feet in height, and will be
the finest bronze, erected bv the
same party who gave the family at Boling-
broke the elegant bust of Col. Wadley.
This will be mounted on a pedestal of
Quincy granite ten feet high, with a plinth
often inches, making the monume.it nine
teen feet eight incites high from base to
ton. It will cost, with railing, $13,000.
it is part of the contract to have the
statue in position by the first of January.
The meeting of the two committees was
of the most pleasant character, the aider-
men readily and cheerfully assenting to
their want-.
Now that Mulberry street will have two
handsome monuments, it is proposed to
park the centre of the street etween Sec
ond and Third. , The proposition was
splendidly received by the property own
ers on the street yesterday and by the citi
zens generally. It is proposed that the
park occupy the centre, with serpentine
walks. These walk* will lead to gates
which will be so located a* to be of great
est possible convenience to the public.
Two small fountains will play in
the remre of the two divi
sions of the park The cost will not ex
ceed one thousand dollars, eopili r, railing,
sodding, fountains, etc, several citizens I
yesterday amiouneed their readiness to |
contribute liberally to the project.
I The park w«.ul l certainly prove » fitting
lonmtnrnt to the street, and b** in keepi ig
with tiie two beautiful mouumen’s.

A Mastodon's Tooth.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: You
published, a few days since, the presenta
tion of a mastodon’s tooth to Mercer Uni
versity by Dr. W. E. Hi) Ism an, of Albany,
Ga. I learn from Mr. I. C. Plant, s.t whose
kind suggestion the interesting fossil was
given to Mercer, that Dr. HUIsman found
this and another tooth and some bones on
the land of Col. Nelson Tift, on Kfncba-
foobee creek, three miles above Albany.
On exposure to the air the teetli fell to
pieces, but Mr. Plant has brought the
parts very skillfully together, and with
plaster bos made the caps or crowns of
the two teeth “almost as good as new.”
Decomposition of tbe gelatine has made
the bony parts very fragile and caused the
loss of most of the body and roots of the
teetli.

~ • ‘ Noti
Mercer University bas parts of four mas
todon teeth, viz; A small one from Mass
achusetts. two from Dalton, Ga., and the
last one from Albany. The two from Dal
ton were taken by the writer, in 1858, from
a limestone spring near the city. They
and a few rib bones were found a few
inches below tbe surface of the earth.
These teeth naturally suggest three
questions. First, lo what kind of ani
mals did they belong; secoid, when did
these animals live, and third, what has
become of these animals.
The mastodon belongs to the family of
elephants. Two species of this family are
known to belivingontheglobe.and several
>ecies are extinct and are known only by
ieir fossi i remains.
Of the living species, the one best known
to |ns is the Asiatic or Indian elephant of
our menageries. It is docile and easily
domesticated. Many thousands are now
employed in India as beasts of hurden;
and before the introduction of firearms,
elephants constituted an important arm of
military service in oriental wars. They
c-iuld be forced through the heaviest array
of infantry, and they struck terror to the
horses of cava'ry. Through English com
merce with the East Indies, the Indian
elephant has become best known in Eng
land and Atnfgicu. 'Die other living spe
cies. the African. \n"-s the elephant known
to the Greekh dim Romans. It has been a
figure in our traveling menageries for
only a few years. It is smaller
than the Indian elephant and is
further characterized by immense ears
and by the greater elevation of its head.
Ii is easily killed with the rude weapons of
tfie Africans, but they have never domes-
tinned it The I'artiiagenians and other
ancient nations of northern Africa |tauied
t!ii* elephant and used it in thoirwar.*.
Various fossil remains show that several
now extinct representatives of the elepnaut
family existed on the globe nt a period
not ver v n mote. The most noted of these
is the Mammoth, or Siberian, elephant. It
h »d twice the weight of the Indian ele-
1 'hant. and had a dens- covei mg of long
lair. It roamed in great herds across the
northern part* of Europe, Asia and Amer
ica. It* bones and tusks are found in the
enrth in all parts c f Siberia and all
the ivory manufactured in Russia is ob
tained from fossil teeth. Remain* of this
elephant are dredged up by fishermen in
some «caport towns of England. In one
harbor two thousand grinders were thus,
brought toli^ht in thirteen years. A more
remarkable specimen was that of a mam
moth, complete in all its part*, found im
bedded in ice at the mouth of the Lena, in
Siberia, in 1701). As the ice melted, the
flesh of this lost representative of a dead
family, furnished a royal feast for the
hunter’s dogs for several* weeks. It's skel
eton and nianv pounds of its hair and hide
are now preserved in the museum of the
Imperial Academy of St. Petersburg!!.
This hairy elephant did not extend south*
of latitude 40. in the warmer regions,
were species of ekphsnti somewhat
different That found in the
United States is called the American ele
phant. It whs nearly as large as the Sibe
rian elephant, and ranged from Uregwn
and Canaca on the north to the gulf and
Texas on the south. Mr I. C. Plant has a
fine tusk and some teeth of this elephant,
exhutued by him in Glynn county. Ga.
He tin* also teeth and fragments of three
other individuals, which were found in
that pait of the State
The above tour, the living Indian and
African elephants, and the extinct hairy
and American elephants, were elephants
proper. The molar teeth in all were sirni-
irly constructed. The crowns preient a
fiat, grinding surface, made up of bard
b <ne with irnntvt-ne plates of enamel,
foiuewhat like the cheek teeth of the
hoise.
This brings us to the mastodon,
.a different genus of the great fam
ily. The teeth of the mas
todon are quite different from tho e of the
eh-phant* Just described. The crowns are
not fiat, hi.t nre studded with eight o ten
conical prominences, which make a very
rough grinding surface. The American
mastodon ranged over Canada and the
United Stales. At lea-t seven |»erfect
skeletons have been obtained from marshes
in *he Stains of New York. New Jersey,
Indiana and Missouri. This niaamuon
was iib nit tbe li»*ight of the Indian ele
phant, hut ita frame and Utuba were much
more bulky.
Tbe ab- ve answers our first question.
The second question—when the mastodon
existed in America—ado its of only an
approximate answer The mastodon has
was composed of six companies, four of
which were from the original First Georgia
Regiment, commanded by Col. Ramsey,
and served at Cheat Mountain and Laurel
Hill. At the expiration of their
term of enlistment the Twelfth Geor
gia Battalion w’as formed at Augusta by
Major H. D. Capers, who was its com
mander, with the subsequent rank of lieu
tenant-colonel, and G. M. Hanvey, of New-
nan, as major. Toe Washington Rifles
(A and B companies), ol Washington
county; Walker Light Infantry (A and B
companies), of Augusta; Newnan Guard,
of Newnan t and DeKalb Rifles, of DeKalb
county, composed the battalion.
It is proposed to have a plain banquet at
the Brown House at 4 p. m. on the 3.1, at
which a poem will be read, and each mem
ber of the command is requeste l to bring,
as near as he can remember, the muster
roll of his company; number killed and
wounded—when and where, and a list of
the survivors. The following committee is
nominated to tike the matter of the recep
tion in band and to arrange for the occa
sion: Capt. Janies Anderson. Newnan;
Capt. Peacock, Sanderaville; Lieut. Free
man, Newnan; Sergt. Ed.Derry. Augusta;
private (now Dr.) Ab. N. Calhoun, At-
la ‘ ~ "*
anta. The members of the committee are
requested to confer with Capt James An
derson, at Newnan, and are requested to
suggest anv other additional names to the
committee by correspondence.

traditions in ref. fence to it. At the l»e»t,
tradition is verv unreliable. A* an Illus
tration. the Indians of Bibb county knew
as little of the builders of the mounds
which are in the suburb* of Macon as they
did of the mastodon. Ami yel the mound-
builder* were probably their immediate
predecessor#. It iz probable tha* the mas-
todou inhabited the coutim-u* behne iumu
did. Another conclusion is, tha’ America, I
during her elephant period, eujoved a
much warmer climate than she does at
the present time. In corroboration of this,
the geological surveys of the Department
of the Inferior, on tbe upper Missouri,
have brought to light the remains of cam
els, of the rhinoceros, of Hons, of tigers,
etc , which unquestionably required a
tropical climate.
And now our thlr** question: Whatde*
rtroyrd the «:-*»odon? Many animal*,
once living here, have disappeared within
the memory of man. Sixty yean ago
wolves, panthers ami deer were common
in Bibb county. Man has killed them or
driven them away. But the Indians had
