Newspaper Page TextW llreklg Atlanta inldliarnm VOLUME XXI Private Property and Public School". It baa bean well said that “public schools,proper ly conducted, constitute the cheapest police sys tem io tue world ” True, under all forms of gov eiuuieut, it is especially so under republican in stitutions. Where every man is a voter, the populace should be educated. The safety and stability of the government itself, demands it.— Our political system is piedicated upon the idea ot sell government; and how imp issible this is where the masses are ignorent ami brutal, may be gathered from the example of Mexico and the South American Republics. Good government, under a Republican Dem ocratic form, is simply impossible unless those who exercise the elective franchise are prepared to exercise it intelligently. And since, in this country, every man who has attained to lawful age is a voter, every man should be able to vote intelligently ; otherwise, his vote will offer a premium to knaves and demagogues. Ignorant voters are the conditions to conuption in high places ; because the majority of mankind being essentially hon est, they would do right, and, tey their votes, force their public servants to do right, had they sufficient understanding. And since, with out good government, private property is never secure; and since (in Democratic countries) without virtue and intelligence in the masses, good government is impossible; therefore, is the property-holder and tax-payer more directly in terested in the establishment ot public schools than the man who may have less interest in the viriue and stability ot the government. Fur thermore, the wealthy tax payer, who may have no children to educate, receives, under a well regulated public school system, a full return for h>s contiibutions in the form of increased rents and a permanent enhancement of : | j value of bis property. His property becomes- the more valuable, because the country becomes more in viting to emigrants—thus creating an increased demaud; and because the business and political prosperity of the Stale is more stable—thus giv ing greater confidence for the future. New Steamer on the AuguMa Line. The Savannah Setts reports the arrival at that port of the steamer San Antonio, Capt. Thomas N. Philpot, from Wilmington, Delaware, having taken the outside passage. She is a fine river boat, and is destined lor the Savannah river to , cousort with the steamer Swan, already on the : river. She is iron hull, 161 tons burthen,draws 41 feet ot water, and has a carrying capacity of < about 600 bales cotton. Her arrangements are wdl adapted for the trade aud passenger carry ing, having first class accommodation. Negro Suffrage.—The President’s father, now in his seventy-sixth year, has lately ex pressed bitter hostility against negro sutlrage in the tollowing forcible terms : “ And,” added be, after a brief pause, “I don’t blame ’em much it they are rebels. lam op posed to have niggers vote. I always was and always will be. I would uot now, and never wdl, vote tor niggers. If I was an able-bodied young man, and was elected to the Legislature, and a niggei was elected to sit alongside ot me, 1 would say : ‘.Nigger, take both seats?” Change ot Schedule. From and atler the 28’h ultimo, the night train on the Rome Railroad left that city at 8:40, p. tn., instead ol 9:15 as previous. Travel lerswillmake their arrangements accordingly. Tight Boots —Ttie London lancet thus speaks ot the monstrosities now in vogue with tasbionab'e ladies : •• The custom ot wearing high bool-bet Is and those too so much smaller than the actual heel ot the wearer as to art >rd no solid support, but only a balancing point, is a source of much mis chief. lu the first place, it throws the centre of grayity ot lhe body solar forward that a free and gracefully erect carriage is impossible Secondly, there being no firm support to the heel, ladies are very apt to twist the ankle sud denly by overbalancing themselves ; and this is not only bad in itselt, but lhe tear of its occur rence makes them assume a timid, mincing gait. And thirdly, the ettect of driving the toot con stantly forward into the toe ot the boot is to produce a v< ry ugly and painful extortion.” Decline of Coil.—At the auction aide of Scranton coal, on Thursday last, in New Yotk. i prices declined $1 to 1 20 lor lump ; $1 22$ lor steamboat; $1 95 to 2 30 tor grate; $1 50 to 1 67$ tor egg; 72) to $1 20 for stone, and $1 70 to 1 80 for chestnut.

MOST STUPENDOUS AND “ RESPECTABLE ” e , FBAUDS Collector Grinnell has leceived additional in ’ formation regarding the perpetration of the most 1 stupendous frauds against the Government by 3 mercantile firms iu this city Over 200 respect k able merchants, many of them occupying f>mm inent positions, are now under suspicion ot hav ing participated in frauds which extended > through several months during the last adminis i tration. Their names will be suppressed pend ing the official investigation now being conduct ed at tlie Custom House. The frauds were ac -1 complished by means of false invoices and un der-valuation of imported merchandise, and are believed to involve a vast amount ot money. SEIZED AT LAST. The Spanish guaboats have been seized, an I are now in the custody of the Uoitid States authorities awaiting the action of the court, the libels having all been filled out and presented in court. The United States Deputy Marshals proceeded to take possession of the vessels on writs returnable on the 14th of December in the United btates District Court before Judge Blatchford, but it is considered probable the cases will be opened immediately. EXPECTED APPLICATION FOR RELEASE. Mr. Webster, son-in-law ot Secretary Fish, and one ot me counsel for the Spanish govern ment, called on Mr. Pierpont in relation to the gunboats, but the substance ol the interview has not transpired. It is understood that Web ster is now preparing the necessary bonds pre paratory to making application lor the release of the steamers, and it is believed the application will be made to Judge Blatchford before the close of the present week. INDICTMENT FiUND AGIINST BLATCHFORD The grand jury of the United States District Court have found an indictment against Blatch toid for complicity in the drawback frauds in the Custom House. The indictment is based on the evidence of W. H Corn and the vouch- , ers which were endorsed with Blatchford’sname. It is said that indictments have also been found against the Caldwells, who were alleged associates of Blatchtoi d. $1,500,000 running away from injunctions. The Express says that $1,500 000 were sent out of this city yesterday, in iearot injunctions. correct. The gold in the sub-treasury has been counted and found coriect. HEAVY EXPORTS. Exports from this port last week amounted to $4,088,188. Sp»ciai Dispatch to the Courier-Journal. From ’HIE ANNUAL HF PORTS.

LIABILITY OF SURETIES. In the case ot lhe United Stales against Henry C. Smith, and others, now before the United States Supreme Court, the question is raised, whether the principal and sureties on a license bond under the internal revenue act of 1862 and supplementary acts, are liable for violations ot the law by the principal, alter lhe expiration ol license. The defendants were principal and sureties, upon a coal-oil distiller’s bond, and they claimed that, upon the expiralion of the li- 1 cense, their liability ceased; but the Govern- ( ment holding them responsible, they appealed j to the courts, where, at the Circuit Court tor the Northern District of Ohio, the judges were di vided in opinion on the question. It was ac- > cordiagly certified 01, and decision thereon is i now pending. , THE GEORGIA FAIR. The Commissioner ot Agriculture is back from the Macon Fair, and speaks encouragingly ot it and the warm welcome exlended to the Northern visitors. He says that cotton was tbe chief object of interest at the fair. Speci mens of this year’s crop, from di tierent quarters, improved implements in its culture, and in cot ton gins; machinery for prepaiing it for market in improved style, made »n imposing show; but live stock and agiicnltural machinery not con nected with the culture ot cotton, did not re ceive much attention. At present prices this crop is giving the planters enormous r< turns tor their latter and investment, but the committee thinks too exclusive attention is giten to the product. Planters generally are. rapidly ex tending the area ot its cultivation and stimula ting the soil tor extraordinary crops. This, with exertions in the same direction in British India, Egypt aud Bi azil, may bring the into ket down to tbe old prices ol 1840, when it ruled at five and six cents. SPANISH AFFAIRS. The regular meeting of the Cabinet was held to-day, and it is said the session was one ot the most imp Ttant which Iris been I eld tor some time, the seizure ot tbe Spani-h guuboais at New York being tbe principal subject nuder discussion. There are rumors atL>'it that Secre tary Fish laid be’ore the Cabimt dispntelii.-s re ceived by him from Minister Sickles, to the ertect that the bpanisn amhoiiues were ataiul to in struct their Minister hen to again ask the r» lease ot tbe gunboats, and if he should meet with a refusal, to demaud their release; alsothat sever al Spanish war vessels hid b eu ordered to oi r shores. Members ol tl.e Cabinet are very reti cent, but the outside impression seems to lu I that after all the gunboats may be released. associate justice GRFF.R, of the United States Supreme Comt, has taken qu.irleis ioi the winter on Capitol Hill. He has no intention ot tecdeiiav Ins resignation,as his been stated, as h s health is much better now 1 than it has b. eu tor some lime past. CURRENCY ON THE PACIFIC.

Tatel, Missionary ot the New Church, (Sweedenborgen,) delivered a series of dis courses in Sandersville, commencing on Sabbath afternoon and closing last night, (Tuesday ) It was the first oppoitunity our people have ever had of hearing the doctrines of the “New Church” proclaimed from the pulpit. Cooking a Can of Powder A sma'l negro boy in the family of the editor of the Tallahas see Floridian, took it into bis bead, Wednesday night of last week, to test lhe ertect of putting a three pound cau of powder on the fire. The result was the killing of the boy and a general smash-up ot plastering, joints and things gen erally in that part of tbe bouse, with a severe shock to all the inmates. General Hampton.—Many of the Northern papers publish in full the manly and patriotic 1 address ot General Hampton, at our State Fair, and all speak of it in tbe highest praise. The New York World says: “ The hands of such thinkers and workers as Hampton should be held up by the men ot the North as well as of the South. Every section will be bettered by the renovation ot the un healthy limb, and we are all alike, interested in the verification of the orator’s retnai k, that in tbe material prosperity of the cotton-growing South lhe Union may behold its salvation from financial bankruptcy." Cotton in Columbus —The Clia'tabooche liver boats have only brought seven hundred bales ol cotton to Columbus up to this dale Last year they brought 2 204 bales altogether, and as the avetage crop along tbe river is twenty five per cent, greater, the calculation is that they will bring this yiar nearly 7.000 hairs. Bishop Kavanaugh—The Cohimbus Enqui rer, ot the 30lh, says : This distinguished divine finished his splendid scries of sermons in this city, on Sunday night, at the Presbyterian Church.

The Americus, Ga., KepiMican of the 30th ssys: “Between tbe hours ot 12 and 1 o’clock, Satur day night last, Mr. Ironmonger of this vi i cinity was shot dead without any provocation whatever, by Mr. S.

Mr. Doolittle waived a commitment trial, whereupon he was remanded to jail, to await his | trial at the next Superior Court.” ATLANTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8,18611. 'I lie Georgia Legislature and Colored ItlcmberfSingular Rumor. Rumors have been current of late lo the ef fect that Hon. Nelson Tift—Democratic Repre sentative elect to Congress from the II Dis trict—has pledged certain parties at Washington that, if Congress will net further interfere with the issues growing out of reconslrucion in Georgia, the Legislature will, at its ensuing session, restore the colored members to seats, and ratify the 15th Amendment. Now, we know not upon what authority this rumor is supported ; and, owing the very ex traordinary charactei wf the intelligence, would be glad to know, beyond all dispute, that it is wholly wanting in truth. As an individual gentleman, Mr. Tift is clearly entitled to his own views of public policy, upon that and all other questions of moment. Nor do we question his right, as an individual—not as a Democratic Representative— to pledge his own personal influenco.to the proposition named. But, when heundertaU.es to pledge the action of a Democratic Legislature, and through that, the action of the Georgia.'Democracy, we must be allowed to respectfuUjLuggest that’he is acting wholly without autMrfty, and hence that his “ pledges” (if made) simply amount to nothing more than an individual promise. It this rumor be ti4b, who authorized Mr. Tilt to remodel the Det.iociatic platform for Georgia? What Democratic Committee, or Democratic Meeting, or Democratic Convention, county or State, authorized any such action on the part of any one ? Has there been any au thorized expression of opinion of the party that would warrant the ae ion of any one man in pledging the party to the support of either the XVth Amendment or the proposition to reseat the negroes? It so, wr*have failed to observe it. And we venture, further, that not a single member of any subordinate Democratic Com mittee, much less of the State Central Executive Committee, has ever been notified officially or otheiwise of any such authority ns that which rumor accredits to Mr. Tift. As one of the oldest journals iu the State, whose Proprietor is himself one ol ihe State Central Deityii'atic Committee, we undertake to say that authority has ever been delegated, either to Mr. Tilt or any one else; and that his pronpition (if really madt) will never be ratified by the Democrats ot Geor- As stated iu these columns a few days since, lhe Democracy of Georgia are not prepared to surrender principle, organization, everything, and ignominiously go buck upon their record in this matter; nor will the Legislature stullily it self before the world by wantonly nullifying its own decisions,and re questions that are ren judicata. If Congre. sis golning to force the Slate, nolens volens, to a<fknowledge the right ol negroes to seats in the legislature, and enforce the ratificatiou of an (i&Jitional amendment which enters not into lls conditions to our rep retenlaliou in the Nalidbal Councels, then we con but submit. Iu pvent, we will have gained nothing by .i g ibe humiliation Tn an actol eels The result would be pi Helically tbe we re- pi qy ,our- and tub in it lu ; or whether, in anticipation we aban don, iu a spirit ot self abasem* nt,ev< iy principle lor which the parly has contended for the last three ycais. There is a Principle involved in tbe decision of this matter, which will forever prevent any true Democrat from accepting the latter alteinative. Geurtta. The B slou Post favors its readers with a very handsome notice of our late State Fair. It ex iota the speech ot Hampton, and says the Fair was “a surprise to everybody who w’ent from the North to witness it.” We copy its closing remarks, diree'ed specially to our noble old Stale: Geotgia has again shown herself tbe Empire State of the South. Hermore sagacious citizens say already that they will get back from lhe enhanced value of cottou more than they lost by tbe abolition ol slave tabor. Cotton m nufactur ing is already successkily established in the State, and th< re are unimproved water privi leges almost without nuinher. No Stale tn the South, if in the Union, abounds with such prom ises ot imm< diate prosperity and pow> r, and lor this reason it presents standing invitations to im migrants from every quarter. Her planters arc already growing ii< h. (L rltee.l in n are laying up tiom three hundred to one thnn.oand dollars a year, and in turn becoming laud owners and independent agriculturists. Ttie « hole scene Is one of smiling plenty, eon trasting str tnu’ ly with the recent des >ta’i<.ns ol war. It is probable that the South will do much of its own m imifacturirtg, for which it possess es abundant natural lacilities, and, with its matchless crops ot cotton, rice, tobacco, and na val stores, will supply the exchanges lor the whole conntty in the adjustment ot its balances m foreign trade. But the Georgia Fair held out mist encouraging hopes for a sincere renewal ot the old bondsol Uniou lader circumstances more than ever favorable fori’s perpetuity ; aud it is in view that we welcome the rapid ami effective operation ot the inlnence it is likely to beget.

Senator Nunnally'* Letter. In a letter dated Nov. 22nd ult.,and addressed to the Albany News, Hon. A. D. Nuunallj’, of the State Senate, says : “Having read that remarkable, paper I now hasten a reply: Those who know me best, would not hesitate to affirm, that I never do anything politically or otherwise that 1 am un willing to take the responsibility 01. The heading ot your article is in such lan guage as to be personally offensive, and 1 would scorn a reply, it yon had not advised me ot the coming article. You say : “We learn from various sources, and upon good authority, that a certain so-called Democratic Senator, and cer. tain so-called membeis of the House, have en tered into a conspiracy to sell out the Democratic parly of the State to the Radical party. The trade is most infamous in conception, and if consummated, will entail disaster and ignominy upon the State. It runs thus: Bullock to be elected U. 8. Senator, in place ot Hon. H. V. M. Miller- Conley to succeed Bullock as Governor. These two worthies to give a pledge to cease their struggle to have the State remanded to military government, aud to make no further effort to reseat the negroes. A. D. Nunnally to be Presi dent ot the Senate, and Hie 15th Amendment, to be ratified.” The first charge ot “conspiracy” to sell out the Democracy of the State bears falsehood upon its face and is wholy untrue; and be who charges me with being connected with a conspiracy that would eutail disaster or ignominy upon ray native State, is as devoid ol truth as he is ot common how sty ; and beneath the notice of the vilest vagabond in the State Penitentiary.' Truth, as well as justice to my .sglf, demands that yon should unhesitatingly give the nameot the author ol this vile calumny. As regards my being President of the Senate, I can only say, I would not accept the position if every member of Hie Senate should volunta rily tender me their support. It, however, 1 it ally desired such a position and the voting tor, or the agreeing to the ratification ot the 15th Amendment, was a condition precedent to the acceptance ot the Presidency of the Senate, I would reject it with contempt, though every Democratic paper in the State advocated its rati fication. Whatever personal or friendly relation that may have existed between myself and Gov. Bullock, neither he, ncr any of his triends, have ever made or intimated such a proposition to me,and as tor Mr. Conley,President of the Sen ate, 1 have not seen or heard troiu him but once siuce the adjourumi nt ot the Legislature ; and, n<i such proposition, or anything like it, was ever made by him or auy of his friends. He who imigiues that the Hou. H. V. M. Miller can be supplanted by Gov. Bulluck, shows that the person making such a change, knows but little ot the history of the Legislature in this country. It is to my mind as rediculous aud simple as the proposition to reseat the negroes, who have been excluded by the Legislature. Again you say: “ This is the child of the har lot that bears the euphonious cognomen of con servatism, &c.” If voting against the 14th amendment, and every political measure originating with the Radicals in the Legislature ol 1868; aud voting to turn out the colored members; and again in 1869, voting against the 15th amendment, mid speaking both in Democratic caucus, am! in ttie Senate against it, aud voting and speaking against the resolution submitting ttie eligibility of tbe negro to hold office to the Supreme Court, be conservatism, then I am conservative. I thought that the records ot myself iu the hist Legislature and the record ot the lew Democratic tri« iris who stood with me on all these political qnesti’ u- 4 , would have prevented the publication of such a charge of my worst enemies. I see, however, that you arc net alone in be ing mistaken in regard to my political record upon these questions, a paper published in my own town, tnougbt it necessary to. reproduce jvur ... ...>., ... ~,,, ls Hj»ht ' before my constituents. I have emphatically denied all the charges that you have “received from vara ns sources and upon good authority.” J again repeat, there is notone word ot truth iti the reports” far as I know. The time for reassembling the Legislature will soon be at hand, aud 1 am willing to stand or fall by my record, and go before im honest constituency and abide their impartial judgment as to my political consistency. I can only trust that jour sense ol justice is commensurate with your love of Denn>< racy, aud that you will do me justice, by publishing this letter, that your readers may understand my true position, and forever put to silence the tongue of calumny. I have no political aspiration to gratity. I only desire to do my duty to my constituents, and seive my native State to the best of my ability ; and, if in attempting to do so, I shall be subjected to missrepresentation, I shall at least retire from public lite, with the conscious ness of having tried to deserve the commenda tion of the people of my native State. Georgia and Iler Stains. The Washington correspondent ot the Balti more in his letter, says : “ Congress will certainlyre-open the question of Georgia’s re construction.” AVe also he ir, by telegraph, that, in calling the roll ot urn House ot Representa tives, Georgia will be omitti d. Our attitude toward Congress will depend, we presume, very much upon the attitude ot Congress toward u*. Georgia has rejected the XVth Amendment and the Radical majority in Congress will not forgive such a show ot inde pendence. Georgia has weeded her General As sembly of tbe so-called neuro members, and ibis slap in the face still tingles on the cheek of ■i Congress accustomed to have all its Gesler caps •uioied by Southern slaves. Georgia has given okeu, and a rousing one, of her Democratic taitli. This “disloyalty" is a direct insult to Congress and must tn- amply apologized for.— Ge >rgia has, outside of Congress, made money and bids fair to make more. Tiiis accumulation of cash, added to lhe bold spirit of her people, is hateful to reconstruction lovers like Solon Robinson and the vile jobtiers who run the National Union, so-ealled. We caimot predict what the Georgia Legislature may do under future pressure, because the Georgia Legislature is— the Georgia Legislature. Hu’, at the expense of future mortifications to Congress, at the expense ot keeping out ot a sham Union, at the expense ot further trials ot our patience, w'e would infinitely prefer that our people should stand steadfast mi principle and retuse, cost what it may, to truckle, lawn, lick spittle and craw 1 an; T more. Although they did all ot th. se base things, what assurance have they that even a temporary advantage will come ot them? And if they resolutely refuse to be vile.it will not be easy tor Congress to itnpcse any resti ictious which they cannot bear and can not defeat, somehow or other. Beside, the times are ditlerent now Ir an tlio-e ot the old recon struction era, and when Congress taxes its in genuity to make Georgia a Ra tical State, it will have a giy aud ft stive joo of it.

Next to the question of slavery, no other, not even the United Stales Bank, or Sub-Treasury question, has excited the country as much, aud as long, as has the Tariff question. Full thiity years ago it threatened dissolution and war, and had it not been that wise and patriotic men— men more patriotic and wise, we regret to say, than exists in this new era—by their influence arid counsels prevented it. The Union then would have been disrupted, and a like effort to , establish a Southern Confederacy would have taken place then, as did take place a few years j ago—perhaps, too, for many reasons which we do not care to present, with ditierent results, j The bank question, the slavery question, the t nullification question, all others, in fact, that c imperiled the Union of the States, have passed away, leaving only the Tariff question lowering upon it, threatening its quiet aud its peace—like a chronic sore, there seems lo be n > cure for it, no mode of treatment potential enough to erase it from the body politic. Even now we see it announced at Washington, that the Committee on Ways aud Means have met there to go to work on the tariff bills, and that Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, who now represents the tariff interests ot that State, in the Committee, is ma turing plans for an increase of the protective du ties, and that lor weeks past he and the protec tive men have been laboring to that end. What will be the end of such movements, we shall not venture to predict. Long years ago, anil up to a very recent date, the South, alone, was left to contend against the unconstitutionality and in justice of protective tariffs. The great West, now shows signs ot this, and we think the Pennsylva nia and New England protectionists will find it, in the future, more difficult, than iu the past, to put through Congress such tariff bills as they are preparing for its enactment. Northern pro tectionists too should not forget that the S< uth is turning its attention to manufacturing her own great staple, and to the development of her own iron beds, and that the time may come when the protective doctrine will be as unpalatable to them, as it now is to the South.

Important Legal Decisions. Two cases involving Confederate contracts have recently been decided in the Circuit Court at Lynchburg, Va. One wai that of Wood vs. Meriwether, to recover the face value ot three bonds of $4,000 each, given by the defendant in 1863 for a certain tract of land, payable in one, two and three years. The defendant pleaded a Confederate transaction, aud sought to have the debt scaled accordingly. The jury, however, under the instruction of the judge that they might render a verdict for tbe value of the land, allowed the plaintitf $2,500 in gold, with interest. The other cases was that of A. F. Wills vs. Wm. 11. Rose, being a suit on three bonds of $872 each, given in January, 1863, and payable in four, eight and twelve months. r I he verdict in this case was that the bonds be scaled to the value of Confederal’- mom y nt the time that they severally tell due ———■»>— ’lhe JniilUH Leiters ” Arhlii. Some years ago, W. B. Reece, of Knoxville, East Tennessee, wrote some able aiticles for the Southern. Literary M<ssenger, published at Richmond, Va., ami edited by Dr. G. W. Bagby, touching the authorship of the “ Letters of Junius.” At tbe time it was thought, not ouly by the editor, but by a large number ot accom plished literary gentlemen in many ot the Slates, that Mr. Reece, had, most conclusively, established the authorship, and proving Horace Walpole to have been tbe man. But, perhaps, the strongest endorsement he ever received was the statement made by an English journal of acknowledged celebrily, at. the time, that the great task of dta-cov* ring tin: author’s name was reserved for an American )awy®F—to wit, W. B. Reece, Esq. It seems, however, that the question has again been sprung, and that it is believed that some one else was the author, as we may learn by leading the following : “ Although nobody knows who wrote the ‘Letters ot Junius,’ yet literary men and ex peris have always imagined that Sir Philip Francis was the author. The last notable sub scriber to this belitf was Lord Maecaubiy. Now lhe Hmi. Edward Twisllfctou, of London, comes out with what he considers additional proof that Francis was the man.

Hot Springs, Arkansas, Nov. 25,1869. A trip from Georgia to this place presents to the traveler the several modern varieties of Sl i land transportation—railway, steamboat, stage. It is no easy adventure, even for one in robust health; far less is it a grateful episode in the lite ol an invalid. The boat travel down the Mississippi river—old ocean’s eldest born—and up the White river—clear as crystal, deep, safe, with its high banks groaning beneath its load of primeval forest, and next only to the Hudson, the most beautiful stream I ever ascended—to Devall’s Bluff, is pleasant enough ; but when, at that point, he touches the soil of Arkansas, tin n, verily, he parts company with comiort, aud for the moment imaging that he has sud- denly been translated back to the “ i/emz pastJ’ he involuntarily exclaims in a dead language “ undique turbater in agris ! ” But before he reaches Arkansas, Nota Bene— At Corinth, on the Memphis aud Charleston Railroad, let the traveler, if he have a tooth for creature enjoyments, stop at the railroad break fast house. The coffee is excellent, and ail the viands savory and sumptuous. If he be the most inveterate Epicure he will find everything to tempt the palate and replenish the inner man. Bn passant, at Grand Junction, let him, by all means, call on the obliging Ganymede of the “ Stonewall Saloon,” and, “ eschewing thin po tations” imbibe one—just one—of his su perstantial cocktails. In gusto they rival our friend, Lee Smith’s, over against the “National.” Little Rock is a much larger and more flour ishing place than I had imagined. The popula tion is variously estimated at ten to fifteen thou sand. It is the commercial mart of the State as well as the political centre. When the people shall have thrown oft the radical incubus which presses them to the earth, it requires no pro phetic ken to predict a prosperous future for the capitol of Arkansas. Every natural advantage for development and growth she possesses in large measure—“ only man is vile.” Like every thing and everybody else in the State, her mu nicipal government is in the hands of radicals. Negro policemen parade the streets, large as lile, twice as natural and as black as any imp of To phet. And this in the quondam home of Albert Pike—the abiding city of such men as Gallagher and Fagan! Os the country between Little Rock and the Hot Springs,when you have said in the language of an auctioneer’s advertisement that “ it is well watered and timbered," you have exhausted whatever of panegyric it may justly claim. Tbe land is ex tremely broken, rocky and poor; the crops badly, shockingly cultivated ; the roads beggar description and defy credulity; the miserable shanties, habitations of civilized men, few and far between, present no aspect calculated to re call that air of cozy comfort and convenience so common in our section, and which lend such a charm to our rural districts. In fact, nothing, by association, recalls Georgia to the memory, save here and there, unmistakable traces of the “ late unpleasantness ” in the shape of char red chimneys, standing like so many sable sent i nels—befitting and mournful memorials of ICansßs j,iy}in W ’kors And The springs are appropriately named, i’bey are hot to a degree. Fifty-four in number, bub bling out from midway a mountain side, they discharge over three hundred and fifty gallons of water to the minute. Where the heat comes from, or how it is generated, I can’t say ; but I heard a man from “ Deown East, ” guess that he tasted brimstone in the water! Almost every State in the Union is represented m tbe throng of visitors here, even now. The waters are said to be equally efficacious at all seasons of the year. But, the hour for closing the mail has arrived and so I cut off a very prosy scrawl, somewhat abruptly, though doubtless to your great satis faction. Mortimer. Attempt at Suicide in Monticello. Col. Bartlett, of Monticello, sends the Macon ‘lelegraph the following particulars of a very sad affair happening in that place on Saturday last: Monticello, Nov. 29,1869. Editors Telegraph and, Messenger: On Satur day evening last, lhe 27th inst., a young man ar rived at Kelly’s hotel, in this village, traveling on horeseback, registering as J. W. Boyles, Ma con, Noxube county, Mississippi. His conduct on his arrival was so strange as to attract the attention ol the proprietor ot the hotel and oth ers, as he seemed excited and wild, although not under the influence of drink. Shortly after his ai rival be purchased at one of the stores a re volver, at another a box of pistol-cartridges. Supplying himself with writing material, he re -iind to his room, where he addressed a letter to his mother, another to his cousin at Macon, Noxube county, Mississippi, also a note to Mr. Kelley, proprietor of the hotel, in which he asked a decent interment, the mailing of his letters and that his horse should be taken care ot until his brother came for him. This occu pied him until about 1$ o’clock in the morning. About that hour tbe inmates ot the hotel were aroused by the report ot a pistol in lhe direc tion of his room, follow* d shortly afterwards by tour reports. On repairing to his room, Mr. Boyles was found lying on the bed, wounded on the ieit side, immediately over the region of the beait. Tbe last four shots were fired by him to attract assistance. His reason for this rash act, as ascertained from his letters and statements, was a disap pointment in love—a young lady living in South Carolina having lately rejected his addresses. He now lies dangerously wounded at the hotel ot Mr. Kelly, receiving every attention from the physicians and young men of the town. The sad occurrence has been telegraphed to his mother. He seems to be a young man ot intelligence; not more than 21 or 22 years old ; of good address, and says he was a Confederate soldier, and formed the attachment for the young lady “who has so darkened his hopes,” while in service in South Carolina. From the Louisville Courier-Journal, chocking Butchery—A. J. at Home—The Cincinnati Southern Railroad Bill. Nashville, Nov. 22.—A shocking butchery occurred on the Clarksville pike, about twelve miles from this city, yesterday morning. A man n nued Joe Barton, who rents a small farm, de liberately cut the throats of his wile and three children, killing them instantly. The murderer has been addicted to drinking, and the impres sion is that he was in a drunken fit when he committed the terrible tragedy. He made his escape, and at last accounts had not been ar rested. Andrew Johnson, who has been at home in Greenville for about a week, is expected here to-morrow or day after. The bill authorising the construction ol the Cincinnati Southern Kailroad through the Stale of Tennessee was called up in the House to-dav by Mr. James on its second reading. Mr. Flem ing, of Knoxville, thought a bill grunting such extraordinary franchises and privileges should receive mature deliberation before its passage, especially since a dollar of the proposed road could not be owned in Tennessee. He hoped it would be referred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. James, of Hamilton, advocated the imme diate passage ot the bill. He contended that no honest opposition could be urged against such a measure since the construction of the road would be of such vast benefit to the people of Tennes see. He said that on its third reading an amend ment would be proposed to prevent discrimina tion against Tennessee freights and passengers. The bill then passed its second reading without a dissenting vete. An. the piers of the Ohio river bridge and the four huudred feet span over the middle channel, at Louisville, were completed a few days since. The entire structure will be ready lor the passage of trains in about twenty days.
