Guardian's Boud, Tire Richmond Enquirer notices a well- known building in that city as follows: “We suppose there is hardly any prison iu the whole country more notorious from the events of the last few years than Castle Thunder, in this city. It has been used, since the first year of the war, as n military prison for the confinement of evil- doera <>! all kinds and grades, by the Confederate authorities up to the evacuation, and by the Fed eral authorities since tlftt time. It may be a matter <>f surprise, this morning, to some of our readers to know that this veteran old headquar ters of crime and guilt is this day to lie vacated as a prison, and to be turned over to its owner, Mr. John If. Gleanor, of this city. We arc 9ure he will hardly recognize his own property.— What tab's of horror could lie told if its silent walls could tell all that has transpired within their limits! That other famous abode, the Libby Prison, has been fitted up, and will hereafter lie used as the general military prison in this city. All tlie prisoners in Castle Thunder will be 1 runs ferns 1 to their new horns to-day.” It is given out that Mr. Montholon, the French minister, lias become quite alarmed respecting the answer of Mr. Seward to the Emperor’s let ter, asking for the recognition of Maximilian as the government of Mexico, and as much so with reference to the resolutions lately introduced in Congress on the subject of the Monroe doctrine. It is understood that he has left for New York, where lie will remain until he hears from Paris and the Emperor. The Secretary of the French legation has gone to Paris with dispatches touch ing the serious turn of affuirs here. Advices from Havana anil Vera Cruz, just at hand, state Unit additional forces are being forwarded to Mexico. Some twenty-five hundred French troops had already arrived at the latter port.— The latest intelligence from Paris contains the news that six thousand French soldiers hail em barked for Mexico. It would scent, therefore, that Napoleon has anticipated, and is preparing lo meet, the policy of the United States in refer ence lo the Mexican Republic. The following is a copy of the letter from Mr. Seward, Secretary of State, to Provisional Governor James Johnson, by which the latter has lieon relieved front duty : Washington, Dec. 1$), 18(15. Ilia Excellency .fame* Johnso-n, Provisional Gov ernor of Georgia : Sm—The time has arrived when, in the judg ment of the President of the United States, the care and conduct of the proper affairs of the State oi Georgia may be remitted to the constitutional authorities chosen by the people thereof, without danger to the peace and safety of the United States. By direction of the President, therefore, you are relieved from the trust which was here tofore reposed in you as Provisional Governor of the State of Georgia. Whenever the Governor elect shall have accepted and become qualified to discharge the duties of the Executive office, you will transfer the papers and property of the State now in your custody to his Excellency, the Gov ernor elect. It gives me especial pleasure to convey to you the President’s acknowledgments of the fidelity, the loyalty and the discretion which have marked your administration. You will please give me a reply, specifying the day on which this communication is received. 1 have the honor to he your Excellency’s most obedient servant, W. H. Seward. From the Macon Telegraph. Me**™. Editor*—The great confusion of mind prevailing among both white and black as to wages ol field hands, may be relieved and good done, by publishing the following list of prices— about those of the island of Barbadoes, just agreed on by twenty-five select hands, on the “Peru” plantation, Early Co.: No. 1 man, $10 per month, good food and $11 of shoes.

W. McKinley. A special correspondent of the Boaton Adver tiser, who is on a vagabondizing tour throughout the South, thus dishes up some delectable stuff for that journal. Here is a specimen of his style: “Why, il— n it,” saiil an Americus man to me, "the Union never hurt me; but I was the hottest secessionist you ever saw—Howell Cobb made me so.” Talking with a Columbia gentleman about sectional characteristics, he said, “we had one advantage over you—your people knew all about the war, while* ours only knew they were fighting for their homes.” I asked, “but could you have made your men fight at all if they had understood the whole question at issue V’ r He answered, “Oh, when 1 said we had the advan tage I spoke from a military stand-point." The Southern newspapers generally have a very large advertising patronage, and appear to be prosper ing quite to the satisfaction of their proprietors. But they are all local in character, and some of them are intensely Southern in tone, while as sources of general information, and particularly political information, they are beneath notice. Northern papers are scarcely seen in South Car olina outside of Charleston, and in the great State of Georgia I wa9 able to find them at only four points—Savannah, Macon, Atlanta and Au gusta. The Southern colleges have, of course, suspended operations on account of the war.— Efforts are making to re-open them, and those in Georgia will probably be in working order by next spring. But that best fruit of modem civil ization, so plentiful in the North—the common school-house—is almost wholly unknown in the Carolinas and Georgia. I have scarcely seen a dozen in my whole iouraev, while a trip of the same number of miles in New York and New England would probably show me five hundred Underneath this one little fact lies the whole cause of the war. Gen. Roger A. Pryor.—We have uninten tionally neglected, says the New York Awe*, to mention that Gen. Pryor has been admitted to the bar, and is now practicing law in the Courts of New York. His well known ability and brilliant oratory assure to him a distinguished place in his pro fession, and we are glad to know that he has already been retained in several important cases The following is from a Richmond paper:— “A situation as son-in-law in a respectable fam ily. Blood aud breeding no object, being al ready supplied ; capital essential. No objection to going a short distance into the country.” President Johnson has positively declined to accept a carriage made for him by the work men of the army repair workshop, after then- work hours, and it has been purchased by Secre tary Stanton. ^ A Georgia judge lately threatened a lawyer for contempt of court. “I have expressed no contempt for the court,” said the lawyer; “on the contrary I have carefully concealed my feel- | Prom the Mobile Advertiser A Register. General Grant. I General Grant grows upon us in his character i of a wise man aud a conservative statesman.— i From the moment he overwhelmed General Lee [ witli the irresistible force of numbers, wielded i by bis indomitable will and untiring persever- i ance, lie dropped the character of a military ! conqueror, anil all his utterances have been : those of a patriot and statesman, who saw that i the sworcl had finished its appointed work, and I the policy of conciliation was the duty of the | hour. The honorable terms he awarded" to Gen. i Lee and his veterans, who had opposed him ) with determined and bloody resistance, struck a j chord of sympathy in the Southern breast, the j intonation of which was in exact proportion to the singular rarity of deeds of generosity, up to that time, from the Federal commanders" Gen. Grant was essentially a “ Union General.” He fought in sincerity and in earnest for the preser vation of the “ Union ”—not as a pretext for ul terior views, not as an excuse for slaughter, plunder, confiscation and subjugation, but as a reality. And when the first step in his object had been accomplished in dispersing the armies organized tirbreak it up, lie proved his sincerity by acts and efforts to bind up the political wounds inflicted by the war, and bv immediately dropping the sword to seize the olive branch.— He has thus shown his want of sympathy with the radical plan of continuing the war in "time of peace, and of rejecting the Union which they liad fought foi. His conservative tendencies and his love of justice and truth have been recently manifested in the report lie made to the President of the condition of things iu the South, whence he had just returned. lie declared the people sincerely and heartily desirous of restoration, and in ear nest in their professions and vows of allegiance to the Government of the United States. He told the truth, also, unpalatable to the negro- worshippers, that the “ Freedmen ” were lor the most part idle and unwilling to enter into labor contracts for the coming year. In this lie has performed a valuable service to the South, for his testimony will outweigh, upon the Northern public miuil. the report of a thousand such ex ■parte witnesses as Carl Scliurz, John Covode and General Banks. In his late admirable report of the operations of the great armies under his command lie gives another proof of the generosity of liis spirit anil the broad nationality of bis feelings in a graceful passage of tribute to the gallantry of the South. After doing justice to the equal bravery of the troops of the East and the West, who had fought under his eye, lie adds: “Let us hope for perpet ual peace and harmony with that enemy, whose manhood, however mistaken, drew forth atteh Her culean deed* of valor /” A man of Gen. Grant’s stamp is invaluable to a country in an epoch like this. Events may take a shape to open to him even a wider and g rander field of patriotic effort than tliattu which e has already earned so distinguished a reputa tion. He may yet have to marshal parties and politics as he has heretofore done battalions anil armies. A Democrat in political faith and edu cation, and a Conservative in sentiments and principles, who knows but that he is the coming man to rally the hosts of his political persuasion to the defense of the rights and liberties guaran teed- by the Constitution of the Union. This high duty of a great leadership has to devolve on some strong patriot. Fortune has placed President Johnson in the gap of freedom, but he may fail, or trying, fall like Leonidas and his little band at Thermopylae. In either event, Gen. Grant possesses the great qualities and rare gifts to fit him to take up the flag of the Constitution and bear it in triumph. The Douglas Democrat of 1860, the first soldier of the United States, after four years of fiery or deal, the idol of the army and the object of high esteem and respect in the South as well as in the North, where could the Democratic conserva tives of the nat ion find a worthier leader, or the restored United States a more-lionest President ? As political currents are now running, these thoughts may become prophecies before three short years roll away. The Florida Election.—The Savannah Herald Jearns from a gentleman who arrived in that city from Florida that the elections which occurred in that State last week were attended with more than the usual excitement incident to such occasions, and in some localities run so high as to culminate in breaches of the public peace. At Lake City, particularly, the contest became so heated that the frieuds of some of the contest ants for office were on the eve of a- desperate collision, when, with a view to its suppression, the U. S. officer of the post ordered out the col ored troops and marched them to the ballot box, with loaded muskets anil fixed bayonets, which so much incensed tlie citizens that nothing but the speedy withdrawal of the negroes prevented a bloody conflict. Tlic ilay after the election three white men at tempted to arrest a colored man who had com mitted an offense against the law, when the lat ter made such stout resistance that he was shot by one of the parties trying to arrest him. This occurrence revived the excitement of the S revjoixs ilay, and led to menacing threats. Gov. larvin was advised of the excitement anil dan ger of k conflict between the citizens and ne groes, and telegraphed in reply that the colored troops would be relieved and white men sent in their place. The removal of the garrison at Salt Lake will relieve Florida from negroes, which is n matter of congratulation to the peo ple of Florida. Their presence is prejudicial to the best interests of society, and no man is safe either iu person or property as long as they re main in our midst. The following is believed to be the result of the election in Florida : Hon. D. S. Walker, late Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, is elected Governor without opposition. Major Kelly, of Pensacola, is supposed to be the successful candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Col. F. McLeod, a prominent lawyer of East Florida, has been elected to Congress. The election of Governor Marvin as one of the United States Senators, is generelly conceded, but the public mind had not fixed itself definitely upon his coadjutor. A correspondent writing from Brownsville, Texas, to the N. O. Times, thus speaks of affairs in that quarter: Since my last we have details of the attack on on Monterey by Escobedo. He attacked the place and drove Gen. Guiroga into the citadel, and took possession of the city, but hearing that a force of eight hundred French troops were near by, he sallied out to meet them- They were mostly cavalry, commanded by a grandson of th« famous Marshal Ney. Escobedo ambushed his troops, and on the advance of Ney, his troopers met with such a fire that they were thrown into great confusion. By the desperate efforts of Col. Ney, the}" were re-formed and ad vanced twice only to fresh repulse. His loss was heavy, and he retreated a short distance. That same day a column of 900 French infantry arrived and joined Ney, and Escobedo withdrew before this superior force, in good order, with only a loss of thirty men. Capt. T., of the United States Army, who was returning from Saltillo, reports he was in Mon terey the day after the fight, and he saw nearly two hundred" wounded brought in. After leav ing Monterey he came up to Escobedo’s forces at Cenaloe. He says he has about 1,200 men, in a good state of discipline and tolerably armed, though badly clothed. These men are quite dif ferent from Cortinas men, or those of Canales, as they seem regularly organized and with good system. Escobedo is very determined, and has no fears of ultimate success. He has two good batteries, munitioned, guns made by Ames, with the James shot and shell. Most of Escobedo’s men were armed with the old Mississippi Title, though some have the smooth bore musket. Escobedo allows no plundering, but subsists his troops by duties levied on trains of merchandise which he allows to pass. He also levies a tax on the country, but it is equitably divided, and not as heavy as the Imperial exactions at Matamoras. Two days after he left Escobedo he met Turino with 400 irregular cavalry going to join Escobedo. Gen. Mejia still remains *in Matamoras. Planting Trees.—“Pioneer,” in the Prairie Fhrmer, says on this subject: * “I have transplanted many hundred forest trees- in the last ten years, and I have rarely lost a tree, and most of them set iu the fall. One of the most important rules to be observed is, before taking up a tree mark it in some manner, so that you will know which is the north side, so as to be able to re-set it exactly in the same position it grew in the woods. This may seem to many of no importance, but to those who know that there is in the bark and wood of all trees a radical difference between the north and south sides, the | north side being close grained and tough, while i the south side is invariably more open-grained and brash, dr soft, the importance will be seen. If this is done, your tree does not have to under go a complete change in all the parts, and is ready to start off and grow at the proper time as readily as though it had not been moved.” It is the custom in some parts of Scotland to sand invitations, when a death occurs in a fami ly, to all the neighbors to attend the funeral.— On one occasion a neighbor was omitted by the bereaved family in the usual invitations, a fend having arisen between them. On the day of the funeral, while the people were assembling, the slighted “auld wife” stood in her door and watched the gathering. At length, unable to bear up the resentment any longer, she ex claimed, “ Aweel, aweel, we’ll hae a corpse' in our ain house some day! see then who’ll be in vited!” A writer in the New York News furnishes a brief sketch of Georgians in the late war. He says: (jicorgia b&d 105,000 soldiers in the field, not including 15,000 militia, portions of whom fought in the trenches at Atlanta. Twenty-five thousand of these poor fellows are under the ground, rotting in inhospitable graves, among them Colonels W. D. Smith, Sturgiss, Prescott, Coombs, Cummins, Mills, Phil and Ed. Tracy, Douglas, Levi Smith, Williams, Evans, Delaney, Maunge, Slaughter, Shropshire, Harris, Cooper’ Jones, Colquitt, Sloan, Lamar, and others. In the cause of the rebellion Georgia lost, in the death of many of her general officers, some of her most gifted and gallant sons. The first on this list, probably, is Major General William H. T. Walker, who fell dead at one of the battles in front of Atlanta, pierced in his vitals with Fed eral bullets. He was a citizen of Augusta, anti for many years was an officer in the United States Army, having won for himself great dis tinction in the Mexican war. He was one of the bravest, and with but few exceptions one of the ablest Generals in the Confederate Army. A short time before bis death he was severely wounded in the foot, but returned to his com mand during the exciting scenes which transpired in front of Atlanta in the summer of 1864. In the memorable battle in which the lamented McPherson yielded up his life for his country’s existence, Walker led a charge in which his di vision lost nearly tliree thousand in killed and wounded, he himself being numbered among the slain. Brigadier General T. R. R. Cobb, of Athens, was killed at the battle of Fredericksburg. He was very active in urging the soldiers to the field, and became a conspicuous officer early in the war. He was killed by a piece of shell while in conversation with one of his staff officers. He was a lawyer by profession, of unrivalled attain ments, and is said te have been, by those who knew hinf best, a true friend and a Christian gen tleman. Brigadier General Paul J. Senimes, of Colum bus, was killed at Gettysburg. He had distin guished himself upon many hard fought fields in the South, and perished upon the loyal soil of Pennsylvania. He was a graduate of Wcst Point, but I believe he was not in the army at the break ing out of the rebellion. Brigadier General Francis S. Bartow, of Sa vannah, was the first distinguished Georgian who fell in the causeless rebellion, he and Bernard Bee, of South Carolina, having been killed while leading a charge at the first battle of Bull Run. During an exciting stage of the battle, Bee, who was commanding a brigade next to that of Bar tow, remarked to the latter, “ Logic at. Jabkson; lie’s as firm as a stone wall! ” Teir minutes af terwards Bee and Bartow were both mortally wounded. Brig. Gen. George P. Doles, of Milleilgeville, a journeyman tailor at the time of the secession of Georgia, was killed at Cold Harbor. He went into the field as & captain, but was soon after ward advanced to the colonelcy of the 4th Geor gia. He is said to have been a very brave man, and received his promotion of brigadier general for gallant conduct in the battles of the Wilder ness. Brig. Gen. Claudius C. Wilson, of Savannah, died from the effects of a severe wound which he received at Chicamauga, coupled with disease.— He was a lawyer of eminence, and had made his mark in his piofession. He is said to have been a true friend anil a brave man. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. A Republican Nicely Caught. The Brown County (O.) News, a live and able Democratic paper, caught a Republican sucker veiy easily the other day. It incorporated in its editorial upon the general state of the country the following sentence : “For instance, if the Southern people did not feel interested in upholding this Union—if it real ly trenched on their rights—if it endangered their institutions to such an extent that they could not feel secure under it—if their interests were vio lently assailed by means of the Union—coftld it be expected that they would long continue under it ? Could any man ask them to continue in such a Union ? Would it not be doing violence to re publican government to do so ? We adopted the old Declaration of Independence as the basis of our political movement, which declares that any people, when their government ceases to protect their rights, when it is so subverted from the true purposes of government as to oppress them, they have the right to recur to fundamental principles, and, if need be, destroy the government under which they live, and to erect on its ruinsvmother conductive to their welfare. They have this right. Nor should any people be blamed tor ex ercising it, whenever they think the contingency has come.” This was leaded, and attracted the attention of the Ripley Bee, a journal published in the same county, whereupon it said: “democratic principles of brown county. “To prove that the Democracy of this county hold the same principles of those who stirred up the rebellion in tbs South, we quote the extract below from their organ, the Brown County News, of last week. The articie is headed ‘Principles of Government,’ and is the leading one. No rebel paper ever advocated a different doctrine.” The Bee then copies the above from the News, utterly unconscious it was assailing the Hon. Benjamin F. Wade, the great Abolition luminary of Ohio, who gave expression to it in the Senate in 1858, or. whose journals it will be found, word for Word. The Bee was so nicely caught that it w r ill not, probably, light upon the News again. A Singular Case off Insanity—On Monday we witnessed a singular ca&e of insanity, and the remarkable power that soma, persons have to control insane persons. As the morning ac commodation train from New Haven to this city stopped at Southport, Connecticut, an insane woman, apparently about forty-five years of age, was forcibly brought on board the cars by her friends, to be taken to the Insane Retreat at Bloo- mingdale. She was perfectly wild with excite ment, and her hands were firmly tied at her wrists to keep her froriP tearing off her clothes. As she was forced down in her seat, and held there by her attendants, an entire stranger ap proached her, and, addressing a few kind words to her, inquired after her health, asked to see her tongue felt her pnlse, smoothed her forehead gently with his hand, and'in a few moments en tirely soothed and quieted her. Her illusion w r as that she hail lost her head and feet. The stran ger told her she was partly right and partly wrong in her impressions; that it was true she had temporarily lost her feet, but that her bead was all right, as was proved by lier showing her tongue. He conversed with lier nearly all the way to the city; got lier finally to admit that her head was right, find told her that when she got to Twenty-seventh street she would find her feet. On reaching there, the stranger requested that he might take her out of the cars and place her in a carriage. The friends were incredulous, but consented. The stranger then said. “Well, I told you you would find your feet when you got here* and sure enough you have. Come w ith me." ' This was said mildly, but with a firm voice of assurance and authority, and, to the astonish ment of all present, she got up, followed her stranger friend out of the cars, and allowed him to conduct her to a carriage and place her in it. He then kindly bid her good-bye, and disappeared in the crowd, without waiting to receive the shower of thanks trom her friends.—N. T. News. Three Remarkable Widows.—A New York correspondent writes as follows: Rounding the Fifth Avenue Hotel corner, a few days ago, I met, just at the Broadway cros sing of Fifth Avenue, the tall, handsome and stately widow of John J. Crittenden. She was looking in splendid health, was magnificently dressed, and attracted the attention of many who did not know her by her personal appearance. Mrs. Crittenden is still a well preserved woman. She had hardly disappeared down Broadway, before I was surprised to see another distin guished lady pass in the opposite direction, going up Fifth Avenue. She was not so well preserved, nor so young, but still a noticeable lady. She was once the wife of Daniel Webster. As this lady went up Fifth Avenue, a no less distinguished lady passed down the street in her carriage. Mrs. Gen. Philip Kearney that was, a magnificent woman in respect to appearance, with much na tural beauty and a good deal that was-artificial. Gen. Kearney, it will be remembered, left two widows—each of whom was designated in bis will as his wife. This was his second wife, for merly a Miss Maxwell, daughter of a former collector of this port, and a distinguished mer chant. The first Mrs. Kearney was Miss Diana Cuthbert Bullitt, of Louisville, Kentucky, sister of the present Collector of the port of New Or leans, and an estimable lady. While she was still living, Kearney saw and aclmired Miss Maxwell, and she admired him. The two went to Europe together, and, after being gone about a year, during which a suit for divorce from the first Airs. Kearney was prosecuted, and obtained by some means, when they returned and were married. When Kearney was killed, his estate was left to his second wife, with a provision of $80,000 to Mrs. Kearney, nee Bullitt, and the same sum to each of her children. Mrs. Kearney, nee Max well, is living here in fine style. She is said to be very charitable, and takes great interest in the welfare of soldiers and their families. She is a beautiful woman still, and much courted and admireclj __ The Galveston News has been furnished with an account of the new steam plow recently in vented by Robert Crewzbar, of Austin. With two hands it will thoroughly cultivate 120 acres of cotton, including the breaking up of the soil, and much other necessary work. Com and wheat may be cultivated by this machine in a very superior style. « Kar« nmaailaj ' ’ A LOVE 8TOBT. A young Jonathan once courted the daughter of an old man that lived down East, who profess ed to be deficient in hearing—but, forsooth, was more capacious than limited in hearing, as the sequel will tend to show. It was a stormy night in the ides of March, if I mistake not, when lightning met lightning and loud peals of thnnder answered thunder, that Jonathan sat by the old maq’s fireside discussing with the old lady (his intended mother-in-law^ the expediency of asking the old man’s permis sion to marry Sally. Jonathan resolved to pop it to the old man on the next day—“but,” says he, “as I think of the task, my heart shrinks and my resolution weakens—he’s so ilang’d hard to hear a body.” In the meantime, the old man, who was hypo critical, so far as hearing was concerned, feigned total indifference to the conversation between bis wife and Jonathan, but contrary to the anticipa tion of both he distinctly heard every word that passed, and by the dawn of another day, the old man was to be found in his bam lot feeding his pigs. Jonathan also arose early from bed in the morning and spied the old man feeding his pigs, and resolved to ask him for Sallv. Scarcely a minute had elapsed after Jonathan,, had made his last resolution ere he bid the old~ man good morning. Now Jonathan’s heart beat —now he scratched his head and gave birth to a pensive yawn. Jonathan declared that he’d as soon take thirty-nine “stripes” as to ask the old man. “But,” says he, aloud to liimSelf, ‘'here f oes—faint heart neverNvon a fair girl,” and ad- ressed the old man thus: “I say, old man, I want to marry your daugh ter.” Old Man.—“You want to borrow my halter.— I would lend it to you Jonathan, but my son has taken it off to the mill.” * Jonathan put his mouth close to the old man’s ear, and speaking in a deafening voice, said “I have got forty-five pounds of money!’’ The old man stepped back as if greatly alarm ed, and exclaimed in a voice of surprise, “You have got five hundred pounds of honey! What in the mischief can I do with so much honey ? Why, it’s more than all this neighbor hood has use for.” Jonathan, who was not yet the victim of de spair, put his mouttf to the old man’s ear, and bawled out, » “I have got goldJ’- To this the old man replied, “So have I, Jona than, and it’s the worst cold I ever had in my life.” So saying, the old man sneezed wasli-up. By this time the old woman came out, and having observed bis unfortunate luck, she put her mouth to the old man’s ear and screamed like a wounded Zeno, “Daddy! I say, daddy, you don’t understand him. He wants to marry our daughter.” Old Man.—“I told him our calf-halter was gone.” Old Lady.—“Why, daddy, vou can’t under stand ; he’s got gold, he’s rich!” Old Man.—“He’s got a cold and the itch, eh ? What’s the rascal doing here with the itch, eh?” So saying, the old man aimed a blow at Jona than’s head with his walking staff; happily for Jonathan, he dodged it. Nor did the rage of our hero stop at this, but with an angry countenance he made after Jonathan, who took to his heels; nor did Jonathan’s luck stop here. He had not gone out of the barn-yard, nor far from the old man, who run him a close race, ere Jonathan stubbed liis toe and fell to the ground, and be fore the old man could take up he stumbled over him. Jonathan sprang to his heels, and with the speed of a John Gilpin, he cleared himself.— And poor Sally ! She died a nun. Never had a husband. On Love. A correspondent, who seems to feel liis sub ject, writes to the Louisville Journal : Someboby once wrote to Lola Montez, the be witching and fascinating Lola, that he was dead in love with her, but owing to the fact of his be ing a married man he dare not give liis name, nor any traceable clue as to his whereabouts.— He was contented to let the divine fires of love consume his ardent soul, to spend his days and nights in sweet, yet illicit contemplation of the Monna Bice (one of Dante’s lady loves) of his heart It was undoubtedly the highest aspira tion of that man’s soul (foolish man as he was) to convey the fact of liis divine admiration (all such loves are divine) to the intellectually royal Lola.’ Whether the famous beauty reciprocated the tender passion in a platonic manner we know, not; the probabilities are that she was a little* tickled over the afiair. It was somewhat roman tic, was it not ? and women love romance. But women love more to be loved than anything else in the world. It is the soul and essence of their being, the light of their life, the consoling ele ment ia which 4&eir beings bathe in luxurious delight. Yet while bowing and casting them selves at the feet of the idolatrous god, women have a great deal of innate and reserved tact. They are skilful strategists, and, while often feigning no movement, they are being moved in their innermost hearts with the electric fires ra diating, encircling and abounding in, around and about their being. We all know that , Lola was a mastering strategist. Yet she seldom deigned to play at the Paradaisical and paradoxical game of love with others than Bohemians and crowned monarchs. Now, seriously, are there not other men in love with other women as in this case ? Have we not met with those in the streets, theatres, and other public and private resorts with whom we have desperately fallen in love—in love with those we have never 9poken to, never may, and, indeed, whom wc have never seen but once, and may never see again. A glance of the eye sometimes satisfies and satiates tlie heart.— And we remember that glance through life. Come 'sunshine or sorrow, those sweet beams of those oxbs ever shine upon U9 like the lovely stars. The prototype of the fair features from which they beam k engraven on our souls. As we look back through at great past, we see mir rored therein the form divine which once thrilled our souls with ecstatic bliss. It is a& if we look ed into the silvery depths of the unfathomable ocean and saw therein photographed our own being. And as if to shun the contempt that na ture tlirough her laws had for tlie tyranny of hu man laws and lier utter abhorrence of the astute grades df society, she creates love such as we write of from out of what we deem the most au- tagonistical characters. It is nothing common, for the refined and cultivated poet to fall in love with the peasant girl. Beatrice w as no princess, nor were dowries and jewels about lier to lend her charms. Yet fair Italy’s noblest poet fell deeply and madiv in love with her. And there was the beautiful Annabel Lee, a widow, fat and fair, though not quite forty. She graced no roy al palaces, and was never famous until tlie weird and immortal author of The Raven enshrined her in song. When the noble Angelina fell in love with her soldier bold, as recorded by the poet Boardoar, she fell in love with him precise ly as the unknown gentleman gave his heart’s adoration to Lola Montez. So it w x as with Lal- lah llookh when she became enamored with the Persian Goldsmith Foramos, the lute-player, while journeying op her way through Cashmere to give her heart and hand to the young King.— To be sore it happfiy' turned out that Foramos w r as the King, but it he had been otherwise Lal- lah would have loved him just as truly and as tenderly. But I need not enumerate cases of platonic love, or love at sight. We are the vo taries of its sweet influence every day. I have no doubt, dear readfer, that you have been the willing captive of those sly glances that often stole your heart away. Well, it’s consoling, in a great desert world like this, to find some green spots, some little springs that irrigate and fructify the soul. These gentle influences make one feel happier, and happiness, yon know, is the great thing alter all They steal gently over the soul like the musk winds of Araby over the senses, lulling us into a sort of peaceful and con tented bliss. A Warning to Young Men.—A young man in this city has been in the habit of visiting the residence o&a widow lady who: “Like Jeptfca, Judge of Israel, H«q » daughter penning fair.” The yoang man was assidious in liis attentions, and was a constant visitor. This notice awoke in the young lady’s heart the tender passions, and in her dreams she imagined she would become the wife of her Adonis. Matters kept on in the same old way. The young man continued liis marked attentions, and people began to whisper among themselves: “A match, surer’ while knowing ones, with a solemn toss of the head, would remark: “What did I tell yon?” The young man went out to his supposed charmer’s house the other evening for the purpose of tali- in^ tea. During the meal, the mother asked, “When are you and to be married ?” The young man leaned back in his chair and coolly remarked that he had no idea of marrying any body, and that he and the daughter were noth ing but friends. He said he supposed she under stood it so all the time. The young lady said not a word, but rose up, seizedihe tea-pot, which was filled with hot tea, took off the lid, and threw its boiling contents into -his face, scalding him severely, and leaving an ugly mark. She then furiously ordered him to quit her sight Bishop Hopkins, of Vermont, is now making a tour through the Southern States, for the pur pose of delivering lectures in behalf of such charitable objects as the citizens of the different points at which he speaks may designate. Bishop Hopkins is a man who is entitled to the respect of every Southerner. He has always contended for justice and right, regardless of section, and will be welcomed wherever he may go in the Soqthfm States. Romance in Real Life.—The Springfield (111.) Journal says its readers will probably re-' member Col. S. S. Goode, who formerly resided in Decatur, hr as made Colonel of -the Twenty- First Illinois Infantrv at Mattoon, and was sub sequently dropped Ly Governor Yates to give place to Colonel (now’Lieutenant General) Grant. We find in the Decatur Tribune quite a romantic story about him. It seems that: After undergoing many strange and startling vicissitudes in life, and buffeting the dark waves of adversity and misfortune, he has at length be come a wealthy and titled gentleman. By the death of his cousin, Sir -Jasper Goode, who re cently died at York, England, he has fallen heir to estates, the rental of which amounts annually to three thousand pounds sterling, and also suc ceeds to the title, by inheritance. The incidents and adventures through which this singular in dividual—now Sir Samuel S. Goode—has passed would fill a large yellow-covered volume. At the age of nineteen lie was a midshipman in the Texan navy—then engaged in the war of independence with Mexico—and was promoted to Lieutenant in three months for cutting out a Mexico bungo under the guns of the citadel of Vera Cruz. In the war between the United States and Mexico that immediately followed, he volunteered in the American army as a private, but by his gallantry soon won for himself a Cap tain’s* commission.* In the disastrous'filibuster ing of Lopez he commanded a company—was taken prisoner at Cardinas, and escaped the gar- rote by the daughter of a Spanish officer, who became enamored of him, opening the prison doors. Undeterred, however, by his narrow es cape, he next embarked in Walker’s first expedi tion—from this he also managed to escape, after passing through untold perils and suffering. As all our readers are already aware, he raised a company in this city when the guns of Sumter reverberated through the loyal North—went to Mattoon, and was elected Colonel of his regi ment (the 21st.) By some means, however, he was deprived of his command, and Gen. U. S. Grant, then a plain citizen, was appointed Colo nel in liis stead. Weary and despondent, through liis disappointment, he neglected his profession —the law—and by some chance drifted into Car- linville, in this State, where, at the time be re ceived his fortune, lie was keeipng a bar in a drinking saloon. He passed through this city Thursday night last, en route for New York, there to take a steamer for England, honor and fortune. New* Nummary. The Virginia City (Mountain) Post, of Nov. 4, contains a glowing description of a most extra ordinary discoveiy about four miles from Helena, in that Territory, made by a man named Brown, one of the original discoverers of the Goulet & Curry lode, of Nevada. The discovery is repre sented as a well defined ledge, fully five feet wide, with a gold vein three feet wide, three- fourtlis of the entire substance therein being pure gold. On each side of this vein there is a casing of one foot of quartz, which will assay from $400 to $2,000 to the ton. Washington advices say that the official cor respondence between our Government and Eng land and France, is being prepared for publica tion. That with England is very voluminous, as it covers the whole question of belligerent rights. Only that portion of the correspondence with France relative to Mexican affairs, will be pub lished, as it is not deemed expedient to make it all public at present. The success of the anti-slavery Constitutional Amendments seemed to have inspired further at tempts in the same direction, and four amend ments of that instrument have already been pro posed, viz: Making tlie number of voters in each State the basis for representation in-Congress; annulling the provision against export duties; prohibiting the payment of the rebel debt; and securing to all persons equal protection and the rights of liberty and life. It is reported that, as many of the Southern States have adopted tlie Constitution Amend ment, and guaranteed protection to the freedmen in all their rights, the militaiy force will be with drawn from such States and the Freedmen’s Bu reau abolished. Whilh Mr. Noah B. Kent, of Chicago, was absent from borne, a Dr. Mills boarded with his wife. Noah, on returning, was somewhat jeal ous, and flogged the Doctor within an inch of his life. The Doctor is determined to have the law on him. General Tom Thumb has been assessed in England, for income tax, at the rate of £10,000 per annum, which shows that no man is too small to be overlooked in England. ^•To the Voter* of Fulton county.—I announce myself as a candidate for the offlce of Receiver of Tax Returns at the ensuing election.

All former students are invited to review their studies free of charge. The South must now educate her sons practically, if she would develop her" vast resources of wealth, which are much more numerous than those of Brazil. We have ample arrangements for 500 students during the current year. Parents can make liberal conditions for their son's if they apply soon. Those from the coun try can board with good families, speaking English, French, Spanish or German, at $25 to $35 per month. A Business Education, that enables one to earn $2000 or $3000 annually, is the best fortune parents can give their sons. As the College has been in Successful operation for more than a quarter of a century, and the practical S ian here pursued received the unanimous commenda- ions of the press and business community, and aa several thousand of its former students are now in business in this city and over the country, it is deemed useless to go into an extended explanation of the plan or merits of the Institution. So far as known, not one of the many thonaands of former students is now out of employment, and so far as known, not one in a thousand of those who have been tent for years to Europe or the North, is qualified, on re turning home, to enter a business house, although thou sands of dollars have been expended on his education. A word to the wise is sufficient. The city is now healthy. Persons from 12 to 60 years of age attend such branches as they may wish. By having a special Professor for each branch, three-fourths of the student’s time is saved. Students intended for this Col lege should bring this circular or special direction, as every winter there are temporary establishments opened. Young students should put their funds in the hands of their merchants, or the President of the College. Citi zens and strangers are invited to call. College Office, Boom No. 7. . _ N.
