ATLANTA, GA.,::::::: DECEMBER 27. POUR O’CLOCK, P.M. Rumors.—There have been quite & va riety of exciting rumors on the streets this morning; among others that there had been a disturbance of a serious nature between the whites and blanks of Alabama, and that Montgomery ha^ been placed un der a reign of terror by some lawless blacks, headed by reckless and irresponsi ble white men. The idea that Gen. Swayxe, with an adequate force of United States troops at his command, would permit such a state of affairs as this, is simply ridicu lous. We have another rumor, based, we pre sume, upon the special dispatch to the Cin cinnati Commercial, dated the 34th, rela tive to the removal of General Popb, and the appointment of General Mki.dk to his place. Our dispatches this evening, will, we resume, set this last report at rest; and in this connection, wo have the opinion of the Associated Press agent at Washing ton that Mr. Johnson wishes to ** hold the republican faction together” in order that it may compass its own destruction. What this opinion may be worth, we leave a discriminating public to judge. tW When Newnanville, Florida, was a county seat, in 1845, Judge Robert Raymond Reid was on the Circuit Court bench. A military guard escorted judge, members of the bar, suitors and witnesses to Tallahassee, to attend the Court of Ap peals. The commander of the escort was Lieutenant (now General) Ulysses S Grant. OF“ ‘‘Colonel Parker” was married pri vately, in Washington, Monday evening, General Grant giving away the bride.— Thousands who attended at the church, yesterday, to witness the publio ceremony, were disappointed. Planters’ Convention in Alabama. The Planters’ Convention lately held in Selma. Ala- adjourned on the 19th instant. Among the resolutions adopted are the fol lowing : Resolved, That we, the Planters in Con vention assembled, believe it to be incom patible with the interests of the planters to make cotton our chief staple, and that the mania for the production of this staple has caused us to neglect, heretofore, the important and profitable production of grains, the raising of stock, as well as the growing of fruit. Resolved, That it has been a grievous error on the part of planters to look to the West for our supplies, when these can be raised with profit to ourselves at home, and that our interests as planters must suffer until this error be remedied. Resolved, That we believe it to be in compatible w ith the interest of our plant ers and with the interest of the country, for the planters to exceed one-fourth of their entire crop in cotton, and we do re commend that the remainder of the crop shall consist of corn and other cereals. nOflUM OF EEOOHfTEUCTIOH. Who First Proposed Gkn. Grant fob the Presidency?—Thurlow Weed claims the honor. In the Commercial Advertiser he says: We can reflect pleasantly upon the first ]>opular movement in favor of Gen. Grant, originated in this city, by our friends, political and personal. Ana it may not be out of place to remark, that the first journ al that named John Quincy Adams, for President (in 1822) was the Rochester Telegraph, then edited by the writer of this paragraph; that the first popular demon stration in his favor was at Rochester, and under the same auspices; and further, that the first intimation General Taylor re ceived of running for President was de livered to him in writing from us, by his brother, the late Col. Joe Taylor. The Rochester Democrat take* him to task as follows: The impudence of Mr. Weed is really amusin^. The “first popular movement in favor of General Grant” wag made in this city on March 1,1866, not by the friends of Thurlow Weed, but by those who were anything but the friends to him and his peculiar"principles. It was made by the Rochester City Convention, which nomin ated Grant with great enthusiasm, prompt ed. we presume, by an article in this pa per on the morning of the nomination, ad vising i‘ as a measure of expediency de manded hv the recreancy of Andrew John- fon. On the following day, March 2, the Democrat raised the flag of Grant for President, and has kept it flying ever t-ince. Business in New York.—They are ex ] erieneing one of the dullest seasons in New York that has occurred in that city tince 1S37. A correspondent, writing un der date of the 13tli inst., says: -Business men tell me they never knew trade so doll as it is now, and most of them look forward to great difficulty before spring. Failures continue to be reported —there were sixteen the week before last- end the prospect is that many pretty large Louses will have to go down. A great many clerks have been notified that their services will not be wanted alter the first of January, hundreds of girls and tens of hundreds ‘of men have lost employment during the last two months, and it is esti- mated that there are sixty thousand work iiigmen and women idle in New York at Sip present time. I think the present win ter will be the hardest on the working glasses that has been experienced in many fears. lx a Big Drunk.—Dolly Davenport recently received the following telegram. “New York, Dec. 15,1867. “Messrs. Spalding & Bidwell, Academy ^ Music * -Please send body of A. H. Davenport, Mpwased by steamer, to ids mother, Street. New York City. «•••• To which he made answer as follow*; “New Orleans, Dec. 15. 1867. I ^Ul try and bring my body w “ xamiCoe." A y This journal was the first in the State to Advocate Reconstruction, on the bads of the Godgreasional Plan. We did this not because the plan In itself commanded our entire approval, nor yet because the meas ures provided for its execution were in ac cordance with the spirit of our republican institutions; bat because we realized the helpless condition of the Southern people, the importance of a speedy restoration to those rights forfeited by unsucessfttl revo lution, and the purpose on the part of the oonqueror to exercise the prerogative of preecribing terms to the vanquished. It oost something at that time to advo cate such a measure. In time, however, it responded to a popular sentiment, and other journals joined us in the campaign. Men irrespective of old party lines affili ated with the movement, and the work has already progressed so for as to produce a Convention, representing the Sovereignty of Georgia, and charged by the people with framing an organic Law in accord ance with the specifications In the Flan of Congress. That Convention has had a session of two weeks. The result has been anything but encouraging. Much has transpired to dis gust the publio and dishearten the advo cates of Reconstruction. Less than a dozen small men, possessing neither educa tion, character, natural ability nor politi cal experience—men who have neither the talents to conceive nor the plodding in stincts to copy a sensible ordinance; nor yet the prudenoe to keep silent when silence alone wonld have screened their shameless ignorance—these are the men who have assayed to shape the policy of the Convention, and render the officers of the State subservient to the interests of a clique. They have succeeded thus far only in chattering themselves into notoriety; their schemes of plunder have been too transparent to deceive, and too flabbily executed to command success. The coali tion formed with this disinterested clique, by certain parties in Atlanta, and in dero gation to the best interests of Atlanta, has only partially succeeded. The State Road is still out of their hands, and let us hope, for the sake of the tax payers of Georgia, that It will remain so. The Convention re-opens on the 8th, proximo. Delegates who have accepted seats in that assemblage at a sacrifice of their own personal interests, and with a view only to aid in restoring peace and or der to our distracted country, will be pres ent. Let us hope that all others may be absent; and that the quorum thus formed, will addrms Itself promptly to the legiti mate work before it. It is Important in more respects than one, that this should be done. Another two weeks of scrambling for oiUce and plunder; another session of wire-pulling, intrigues, and combinations, looking alone to the personal Interests of a few small men in and out of the Conven tion, will cause every respectable Union man in Georgia to wash his hands of the whole affair. We speak plainly because we feel that, under the circumstances, it is a solemn du ty to do so. And we do this, too, in the foil knowledge of the fact that it will cost us several subscribers, and perhaps the en tire printing of the Covention to do so.— Nevertheless, the Opinion can afford to lose both, rather than squint at or endorse the disgusting roU of a faction who seek to make the whole reconstruction movement subservient to their own base and selfish purposes. We have already sacrificed more than any other public journalist in the cause of Reconstruction. We have done this from principle alone. Ne sneak ing desire for office, public patronage, or emoluments of place has prompted our course. We desired, above all things else, to see the country settled and at peace; for this and this only have we labored, and will continue to labor. For the Opinion ] PeUat Remedies. A few months since, I read, with interest, an article In one of the Medical journals, in relation to the use of chloroform. This article, although a great blessing, fulfilling many important ends in surgical opera tions, yet we are compelled to admit that its administration is often followed by fatal consequences. The medical jour nals both in America and Europe have re corded numbers of deaths, and in conse quence of which, a large majority of the intelligent and scientific part of the pro fession, in both countries, have almost en tirely abandoned its use. No Intelligent physician will dare deny but that it is a remedy of doubtful and uncertain powers, and its effects hard to overcome; and when used as an ansthetic agent, no human mind can always predict the result. Its favora ble or unfavorable impression upon the human organization must depend upon the idlosyncracy of the person; therefore, if the danger is alone dependent npon a certain condition of the individual consti tution, and all admit oar Incompetency to judge correctly, then to give It at all, is but a “leap in the dark,” and unau thorized, upon correct physiological principles. When once its dreadful influence has been produced in any given case, it will require an equal amount of judgment, and more guess work to find the remedy to counteract Its effects; as the antidote must, to be successful, depend up on the idlosyncracy of the patient at the time. It is exceedingly strange, to my mind, that while the most scientific part of the profession are throwing the weight of their influence against the indiscriminate use of chloroform, that men are found in almost every community who are carrying in their pocket* daily a vial of this dangerou* remedy, and giving it In almost every case with as little fear for its results as if they were using eugar pillt. If I were permit ted to discriminate between a Chloroform and Sugar-pill Doctor, I should in every Instaiot decide In fcYor of the latter. While no good could result from the use of sugar- pilia, I am pertain my life wonld be safe.— On the other hand, should I be put under thejuiflueaee of chloroform, I am certain the result could not be foretold. It might be unfavorable, and death possibly end tjfe-. ANTI-CH LO ROFORMjd. v telegraphic. FROM TSMFEW YORKPRESS ASSOCIATION. scene. The Georgia Convention—Its Personeli The Atlanta correspondent of the Cinctar nati Commercial, speaking of the misregb resentations of the press respecting tlk personel of the Convention, says: * And there are moreover, men in the Gen. Pope Not Removed. Washington, Dec. 27.—Undoubtedly Pope’s and Swayne’s conduct was highly disapproved at the White House, but no action has yet been taken for their remov al. The Executive policy is to avoid irra- Convention who have displayed more true' ration, if possible, which may tend to hold the Republican faction together end ena- We them to pass more stringent supple- than the bravest man in Lee or Johnston’s army. My eye rests on such a man as I write. He is a Georgian of many generations; a man of fine education and capabilities; has been all his life a slaveholder; has not a solitary tie of kindred or connection with the North; has filled offices of the highest responsibility in the State; was in the Georgia Convention in 1861; again in 1865; is in the depth of wealth, and the owner of several plantations; is neither politician nor office-seeker; is neither Re publican nor Democrat; is independent of the favor of any man or any party; asks nothing, wants nothing; is in Convention to the detriment of his private interests, and under the seal of social ostracism. He is there wholly and solely for the good of his country, for the sake of his native State, and ‘because he desires to see her once again happy, and, at last, really free. And this man, and several like him, (for this portraiture may be applied to more than one in the Georgia Convention.) are described to you as “adventurers,” “scala wags,” “pickalds,” “miscreants,” “scoun drels.” and to use the elegant phrase of Mr. Ben. Hill—“scum of hell.” And wretched Bohemians of the press, who for so much pelf would describe heaven itself as a low-flung place, (and swear they had been there, too,) will write to order absurd and mendacious travesties of the motives aud sayings of men consci entiously bent on the performance of a duty whose sacredness and elevation neither they nor their employers could possibly comprehend! If you doubt this, read the first Atlanta letter you chance to meet in the columns of the great Metro politan Scavenger. Choosing a Vocation.—There is nothing which puzzles and perplexes a parent more than the task of deciding upon a vocation for his boy. If the parent be poor, the question is generally with regard to this or that trade; if he be rich, it hinges upon the choice of a profession or some other vocation that requires no soiling of hands. The whole field of handcraft is explored by one, and every sphere of brain-work by the other, in the attempt to reach a conclu sion on the important subject. The result is that in one case the ranks of manuel la bor are recruited by a shoemaker’s or a tailor’s apprentice; and in the other case, the professional field receives the addition of an embryo lawyer or doctor. This selection of vocation by parents is well meant, but unfortunateiy it is a lead ing cause of bad work in the field of labor, incompetency in the profession, and un congenial employment in every sphere. Nature kindly gives every new-comer in the world, the talent necessary to fill some position in life acceptably to the world, and both profitably and agreeably to the individual. This end all men reach who are not led out of the natural path, elttier by vice or by a disregard of Nature’s gift. It is the latter for which parents are too often accountable. A man determines that his boy shall follow a certain vocation, and into that field the youth is thrust, although he may have no natural aptitude or taste for the business. For instance, a boy may have talents which, if properly directed and cultivated, would make him eminent as an architect, or as an engineer. It is decided, however, that he shall become a harness maker, and the result is that the world gets from him nothing but bad har ness, while he ever feels that his own life harness is a bad misfit. To the same cause may be traced a large part of the profes sional misfits—lawyers whose cases ought to be in printers’ composing rooms; doctors who ought to be amputating limbs of trees in the new settlements, and clergymen whose forte is the mending of boot-soles. In every sphere of life men are thus to be found out of their business element, and as uncomfortable as a fish out of water. There are cases in which men break over the barriers of an uncon genial business, and seek the field that na ture designed them for; but such cases are comparatively rare. If every man were given the talent necessary for a cer tain neld, and could do nothing at all in any other field, every one would eventual ly get into his proper channel. But unfor tunately most men are sufficiently versa tile to enable them to make some progress in almost any sphere of life. The best plan for a parent to pursue, in respect to a vo cation for his boy, is to watch the bent of the youth’s talent and inclination, and see what Nature designed him for. It is natu ral for a parent to think that his boy is a prodigy, and that he is capable of filling a nigh station in life. For the boy’s sake, however, it is better to start him right in life, even though the starting place be low upon the ladder, than to put him in a posi tion where he can make no progress. The aim should be to place the boy in a sphere where he will take pride in his work, throw all his energy into it and thus train and develop to the fullest extent his native talent.—AT. Y. Sun. Financial Famine in tee Louisiana Convention.—The Georgia Convention is not alone in its money troubles. A dis patch, dated New Orleans, the 24th, says: The Convention to-day almost unani mously adopted) Mr. Cooley’s resolution repealing the bond ordinance, and adopted instead the ordinance reported by the Finance Committee, with some amend ments. As adopted the ordinance provides that a direct tax of one mill per cent, on all real and personal property, be collected by the sheriffs. An ordinance was also adopted appoint ing a committee to negotiate a loan, to re lieve the immediate necessities of the Con vention. If successful in negotiating the loan, the money collected as taxes is to be 5 laced to the credit of that loan in the reasury. Postage Stamps and Stamped Enve lopes.—Post Master General Randall has issued the following order: For the better accommodation of the public, Post Masters are authorized to de signate agents for the sale of postage stamps and stamped envelopes within the delivery of their respective offices, and to supply such agents with said stamps, etc., of the several denominations, in value not exceeding $50, and allowing them a dis count of two per cent, on the amount of their purchases.” Wit is suggested that Dickens has as yet reached only two-thirds the hight he may attain. For, as yet, he has only shown his proficiency in two R’s: Readin’ an’ ’Ritm’. There still remains for him th# wide field for achievement presented by ’Rlthmetic. The Very Latest Intelligence.

O. MORSE, Ordinary. dec£6— wGin Printer’s fee *4.50 After-Dinner Doings.—The Pall Mall Gazette tells a queer story of which the hero seems to be Edmund Yates, who earned on a recent occasion, the title of D. D. For, in the early days of California journalism, the cases of arrest for inebriety were so common that instead of writing “drunk and disorderly” after the culprit’s name, the clerk simply affixed'the initials, D. D. This seemed to the reporters so good a joke that they transferred the prac tice to their printed reports, and the cleri cal and religious world were duly shocked at the appearance of the abbreviation D. D. in so disreputable a connection. But to return to the Pall Mall Gazette’s story of Yates. Alter the dinner, some of the literary men. such as Mark Lemon Wilkie Collins, and Horace Mayhew, who make a point on such occasions of not going home till morning, adjourned to a pot-house known as the Hall of Ancient Druids. What passed there the journal thus recounts: “There they sit, the ex-publican, Mark Lemon, hobnobbing with the writer ot mysteries, Wilkie Collins, who gets an in come out of a novel which it makes one’s head ache to read; and the whitehaired old young man, Horace Mayhew, whose con versation is not of the choicest, and who has knocked about town and comic litera ture these thirty years past, talking as lie should not to the son of the great hero whose berth is secured for next week But what is the matter ? The man with the acarlet face is getting obstreperous. He is wild, noisy, blasphemous, unfit as ever for the society of gentlemen. Not even the slimy persuasion of his white- haired Daman can still the fury of this sensation Pythias! He is making a drunk en sensation speech. The music stops, and every one in the ball gathers round to lis ten to his tipsey drivil. What is it all about? Why, they did not put this grand penny-rag hero on the Dinner Committee, and he has been insulted. Hark to his vio lent vanity! ‘He has lived on my brains,’ he says; ‘this man you have been feasting. I have helped to make a success of his two penny mag. I won’t be put down! I won’t stop talking! I—I—I am too clever to live!’—Bah! come away from the filthy scene. This, then, is the end of the great feast of reconciliation and love, and this poor tipsy creature is a literary man of 1867. lie has already been forgiven too often. ‘The devil was sick, and the devil a saint would be!’ But we will have no more burlesques of repentance. He has offended us all, offended the man that Eng land loves best, and he is past pardon.” Proposition to Remove the Capitol. A Washington letter of the 20th says: General Logan’s proposition to remove the Capitol westward, like a great many other important measures and needed re forms, comes too late to warrant the indul gence of any hope of its adoption. It is very true that Washington City is far removed from the center of population, which, ac cording to the census of1860,is in the vicini ty of Zanesville, Ohio; it is also true that its geographical location is neither eligible nor convenient. But there are two objec tions to the proposed removal, which can not be easily overcome. The first is the amount of money expended in the public buildings here; and the second is,’the length of time it would take to prepare a new Capitol for the transaction of public business. Washington has been in a 6tate of preparation for the last thirty years, and there are children now living who will die of old age before it is finished. Misdirected Letters.—According to the Postmaster General’s report, not less than a million letters were mailed last year without signatures, and misdirected, or so badly directed, that the address was totally unintelligible—these were de. stroyed. More than a million and a half others—1,611,686—were restored to their writers by the care of the dead-letter office. Thus it seems that at least two And a half million of mistakes were made in an op eration which one would think likely to enlist the sufficient care of the writer, the addressing ot a letter. These letters con tained nearly $150,000 in money, bills of exchange, deeds, checks, etc., to the value of over $5,000,000, and over 49,000 contained photographs, jewelry, etc. 0T If Adelina Patti will go to St. Pe tersburg, the government of Russia will pay her expenses.
