Christianity.—Thia word derives its origin
ir«.m ilie name ol the Messiah, the Savior of the
world, lienee, il lor nothing else, it should be
reverenced by every believer in the Christian
religion. This is & fruiUul theme, one upon
which volumes have been written and published
ami we propose only to indite a lew general
remarks on this trite subject Man, by nature
is acknowledged to be a creature ot religious’
instincts. How low soever he may stand in the
scale ol intellectual attainments, his natural iu
(•libation is to have some object of woiship, some
su|>erior being to whom he profcssei allegiance
and to whom he pays his devotions. AmoDgst
civilized and enlightened nations, with slew
exceptions, the Bible is their creed, and God
and Christ are the objects of thetr devotion.
J lie Jews reject Chri t as the (Savior of the
world, yet lieiieve in the Old Testament. They
are a civilized ani en ightened people and con
stitute a port,on ol the world’s population, who
are u-elul in their Way, enterprising, and have
contributed largely to building up the world’s
civilization. But it is oar present intention to
write of what is Commonly denominated the
Christian world, by which we mean all who
believe in Christ as the Savior of the world, his
diviuity, and Lue church which he established
on earth. The history of the church dates
back over eighteen centuries. During that time
■t has passed through many vicissitudes. The
Catholic claims to he the original church. Pro
bably it is—in lact we are inclined to believe it
is. in process ot time dissensions arose in that
church, and other branches of the Christian
cburcu have t-prung out lrom it; all, however,
claiming to be branch s of the Church of Christ.
The believers in this religion have suffered many
jiersecutions. The history of ancient times are
voluminous in details of the most cruel
persecutions of this sect, which we
read in the history of the ten perae-
cu lions which we find in Buck’s Theological
Diciloaary, and other works ot a simllai charac
ter. The details of these persecutions when
read are calc llaled to make a man’s blood run
cold in his veins. On the other hand, the friends
and advocates of Christianity have iu many
instances suffered themselves to run in'o th,
same extreme. Men, even in the enlightened
kingdom ol Great Britain, have been burned at
the slake on account of thetr religious senti
ments. The Catholics of Ireland have lor
centuries been under the ban of political pro
scription by a Government which they despise,
and who rule over them with a rod of iron, and
this was roost professedly a Christian Govern
menu Zealots in ihe cause of Christ have raised
armies, and waged destructive wars for the pro
pagation ol llis religion on earth. Peter the
litr.nii ip his excessive zeal for the cause raised
ho army for the purpose ot rescuing ihe Holy
bepuichre from ll.e possession of the 8aiacens,
and thousands ol lives, and oceans ol blood paid
ihe sacrifice.
11 lias been a question with some, whether or
not Christianity, tuk.n in all its aspects Luo not
done more harm man good to the world of
mankind in general. We take the position,
that the Christian Keligion, with all the evils
« hich have beon done by its professors has done
vastly more good than harm to the people who
have adopted it as their religious faith. Com-
p ire the condition of the people ol Christian na
tions with that ol all other nations, in a moial,
social mid political point ol view, and the bal
ance in every way is overwhelmingly in favor
of the former, lue abuses which have been
practiced by professed Christians, in all ages of
me world, are the result ot couuccling the secu
lar with the religious power ol the people. Am
bition, lauatieisiu, anil a mistaken notiou ol' re
ligious duty, lay ut the louudatiou ot all the
outrages that have been committed under the
sanction of the Christian church. All these are
outside ol the mild, peaceful, benevolent doc-
triues laid down by our Savior when he so
journed on earlli. He never contemplated that
i In- religion lie came to establish, should be pro
pagated by ihe sword, political proscriptions,
and the arbitrary power ot governments. His
religion taught peace, meekness, forbearance,
long sufferiug, love to one another, do justice,
love mercy and walk humbly before God ; hive
thy neighbor as thysell, avoid envy, slriie and
evil communications; in lact, do everything
calculate d to promote the peace and happiness
ol society. Everyi hmg outside of these benign
and heavenly piect pts, are outside ol Christiani
ty, and are a reproach upon its pure character.
S*e, theielore, contend tual Christianity is the
sheet anchor ol our political, social anu eternal
lalvutiou.
Sunset Views.—Those who have never been
about the wi-stcrit limits oi the Gate City, are
perhaps not aware of the picture-que views
which, particularly at the hour ot sunset, greet
the eye >>1 the beholder. The golden rays of
the great luminary as he sinks behind the west
ern horizon corneas il to gild the mountain
tops ot Kenuesaw, and pissing beyond ate re
flected lrom the rocky heights of atone Moun
tain. Just iu front of tne beholder are seen
long lines of breast winks with here and there a
toit, from which in times qol long ago, deadly
cannon belched forth their missels ot destruc
tion. In the uncertainty ot twilight one cau,
in rough ho medium o! imagination, picture ihe
contending hosts which enacted the tragic
scenes of 64 upon these very hillsides, and see
them struggling in deadly earnestness for the
possession ot the ci.y ju»t behind. Turning
around, ihe wonderful city lays stretched out to
view ; her lolly spires towering above the busy
btriots, which re-ouud with the ceaseless hum
of trade, while here and there may be seen a
column of smoke as it rises from a locomotive
bearijjg iulo the town its trams ot freight which
i re rapidly dispensed to the places which draw
their supplies trout Atlanta.
The Dalton Citizen.—We perceive from
the last issue ol this paper, that Mr. Henry
Whitman makes his bow, aud mounts the edi
torial tripod ol this journal. His salutatory is
short, but contains “ multum in parvo" On
sentiment he expresses is so much in accord
ancc with our views of conducting a newspa
per, wc cannot retrain from giving it our hearty
endorsement. “ 1 admire the man who has the
bravery Hi praise an enemy, or, il necessary
condemn a trieud.” One of those editors who
like Judge Tracy’s schoolmaster, had all the
juices nf his body turned iulo gall and vinegar,
and can do nothing but abuse and vilily his pi
hucal opponents, right or wrong, we have no
use lor. We welcome Mr. Whitman to the
corps editorial, and with him abundat t suc
cess.
TnE Future oe thk Negro.— A leading
Radical negro, and a member ot the Charleston
(S. C.) council, recently remarked : “The col
ored man is by nature a Democrat; his sym
pathies aiv with the white laboring massts
and, when the lapse ut time shall have consigned
to partial oblivion, the animosities engendered
by the war, the black race will be found snoul
der to shoulder iu the Democratic ranks’’ So
we have ever believed ; in tbe densely populated
districts of our country, where the blacks mostly
abound, they are employed, ted and clothed by
the laudhui iers, who are the stockholders ot
the country, and with scarcely a single excep
tion are all Democrats. There is notoing more
natural than lor the negroes to sympathize and
act politically with those who support them.—
Hence, w« may safely count on the negro as a
strong element in the Democratic puny.
Sharpers.—Charles McCoy and Jim t> ckson,
two members ot a colored gang ot despt radioes
which have been operating in this city lor some
time past, went up to an unsuspecting country-
man yest- rday and ottered to bet him that he
could not open a lock. The countryman said
that he would not bet; whereupon the rascals
told him that thtydid not believe he bad any
money. This verdant specimen ol buuiauity
thought he would show the error ot that opin
ion, and boastingly drew from his pocket lour
five dollar notes, which were immediately
snatched from him by the negroes, both of whom
run tor dear life. An officer was soon found,
who started in hot pursuit, and after a quarter
ot a mile race he succeeded iu their capture.
The money was recovered, and the villains
were carried In tore a Justice of the Pe ace. Tne
countiyman seemed opposed to prosecuting the
parties, living content with the recovery < t his
greenbacks. So that, upon payment of costs,
they went forth to do likewise at the first oppor
tunity ollered. Onr police know the member*
ot this gang- The gi>od ol the city, the peace
ol the citizens, and the sale’y ol strangers de
maud that a sharp watch be kept over the r
movements.
St. Patrick’s Day in Atlanta.—-Notwith
standing the blustering, wintry weather yester
day, 8u Patrick’s Day was observed by onr
fellow-citizens ot the Catholic faith, in a verv
appropriate manner. The Hibernian Society
paraded in full regalia, with the military band
from the barracks, and the imposing array, as it
swept through our streets, excited much admi
ration. After service at the Catholic Church,
the precession marched through the principal
streets, and entered DeGive's Opera House at
lli o'clock, where a large audience awaited
their arrival. Tbe magnificent eJiflc-e was in
deed crowded to its utmost capacity. The
solid men ” of Atlanta, together with its
beauty and biavery,” turned out en matte to
hear that wonderfully gilu-d man whose elo
quent lips have so olten commanded the ap
plause ot lis:ening thousands, and whose name is
a household word in every home that once re-
jo. ced under the protecting aegis of the “Con
quered Banner.”
Alter the hand bad discoursed some of its
sweetest strains, anu while tbe very inspiration
melody still lingered around the scene, John
H. Fiynn, Esq , approached the front ol the
siage, and tu a lew appropriate words intro
duced the orator of the day—the Rev. A. J.
Ryan.
Advancing to a position just in front of the
well-known “ Banner of Green,’’ with the Harp
of' Erin emblazoned upon its broad folds, Father
Ryan pioctedtd to address the audience upon
the great theme which had drawn them to
gether St. Patrick’s Day was a memory—it
was also a history. It was the history ol the
r.sh people. With every recurrence of the
anniversary, ihe mind was carried tar away
from the present—far back into that past which
had bei n so gloriously illustrated by the brave
sons oi the Emerald Isle. Time and again,
had Irish valor stemmed the tide of bold inva
sion and rolled it backward home.—
The Danes had retired* before the
prowess oi Brion Born, other, and
t-rcei foes, in vain attempted to subjugate the
gallant little Inland. Roman power, with col-
iSsal strid- s, stretched its triumphant course
through the natrons, and down thecen’uries un
til it stood, with victory perched upon its stand
ards, the mistress ol the world. But whilst the
Roman eagh s invaded Britain, and subjugated
the continent ol Europe, Ireland alone remained
unc<inqaered Tne seductive charms ol Roman
arts; the potent sway of Roman arms alike
woie powerless to overwhelm the independence
of the Emerald Isle. At last the conqueror
came—from Rome—but armed with more than
R mi an power—it was St. Patrick. The repre
sentative of the true faith—the Catholic faith.—
He it was who subdued the people of Ireland.
To that slavery which was more than freedom,
they yielded at once; and from that day to
this tbey have borne the yoke of & servitude
whose fetters were the links that bound them to
Christianity.
Irish patriotism was inseparable from Irish
religion. The Shamrock was wreathed around
the cross of the Nazarene, and there it should
remain. Not all the persecution of Henry the
Eighth, nor the persecution ot Cromwell—the
General taherman ot his time—nor even the
peisecution ot subsequent years, could alienate
the hearts of his people from their true alle
giance. That banner of green, now proscribed,
and a wanderer in eveiy land and every clime,
wa9 destined yet to wave at home, over a tree
aDd brave people;
For seveu hundred years, Ireland had suffered
beueuth the infliction ot woes and wrongs, with
out precedent or parallel. For seven hundred
years that brave people had continued, in spite
of their sorrows, to hate the wrong and oppose
the tyranny of the oppressors. They loved the
right with a love as deep as the sea, as fixed as
the stars in their orbits, as strong as the rocks ot
the mountains, and as impossible to be destroy
ed as the sea-girt cliffs ot their native land.
And just over the words “Hatred of Wrong”
they had written “ Eternal.” The people ot
the South might learn a lesson from this day,
which, a9 he had said before, was a memory and
a history. The glorious fortitude ot the Irish
nation duriug the last seven hundred years;
their refusal to be reconstructed; their unswerv
ing devotion to the right; all this he commended
to the Southern people. Ireland was carpeted
over with the graves ot heroes, aDd so was this
land. Those graves were now altars around
which we gathered with flowers for their fame
and laurels for their labor, but tbey would yet
become something more than graves. They
would be the footstools of the throne of lib
erty !
In the late contest between the States, had
the Green ever betrayed the Gray? (Cries of
no; no 1) Never 1 Side by side they fought it
through, and for that reason the Gray honors
and reverences the Green.
The orator retired amidst the applause of the
audience. The entire address abounded in
flights of the loftiest eloquence, and the lan
guage was that happy medium just between
poetry and prose, ana better than either. The
vast audience listened with the most flattering
attention, and repeatedly burst forth into raptu
rous applause. Altogether, St. Patrick’s Day in
Atlanta may be called a splendid success, and
our Irish fellow-citizens have every reason to
feel pn ud of the manner in which it wa3 ob
served.
Another Angel Gone to Heaven.—Dru-
cilla Margaret, daughter of James and Drucilla
Campbell, departed this life on Wednesday, 16th
inst, and was buried on the 17th. 3he had just
budded into life, and was only two months and
two days old. If she had had the power ot
speech; she could have well said,
“ To the dark and silent tomb,
Soon I hastened from tire womb.”
We offer our condolence to the bereaved
father and mother, and tender them our heart
felt sympathies for the loss ot their little loved
one. We have often experienced the same
bereavement and can feel all the griefs which
such an affliction can produce.

/sbaui.t.—A negro woman was rani<J he
fore Justice Smith yesterday charged ui'li Lav
ing assaulted another colored woman. His
Jlouor dismissed her upon payment of costs.
Destructive Fire—Burning of Female
Ac\dsmt in Columbus.—From the Daily En
quirer, we are pained to hear of the destruction
ot the Female Academy, one of the oldest lit
erary institutions ot the city. When the fire
was discovered, it was so far advanced, that be
fore the fire companies could reach the scene ot
action, the case was beyond their control, and
the building was entirely consumed in spite of
their efforts to save it. The fire was communi
cated to the building from the chimney. It was
built in 1836. Dr. DeGraffenreid and the late
Judge G. E. Thomas were among the first trus
tees. The academy had a large number of stu
dents, aud was in a flourishing condition.
Well Merited Punishment.—On Friday
night last while the inmates ot Mrs. Red wine’s
boarding house, on Forsyth street, were at sup
per, two negro men entered the house and stole
therefrom a fine overcoat and hat. The police
were set on the trail and soon arrested Charles
Low and Sehe Wright, who were the guilty
parties, and who had disposed oi the stolen ar
ticles at a wagon yard tor less than one-tenth ot
their value. These parlies were taken yester
day before Justice Thomas Spencer for trial.
Sebe plead gudty to the charge of larceny from
the house, aud was sentenced to pay a fine ot
one hundred dollars or work twelve months in
the chain gang. Charles employed a lawyer
and stood his trial, but was convicted and re
ceived the same sentence. Much credit is due
to Justice Spencer lor his decision in these cases.
This kind of stealing is of frequent occurrence
in the city, and severe measures should be
adopted lor its prevention aud punishment. If
he had fined them leu or twenty dollars, as is
usual iu such cases, they would have paid the
flue out of the proceeds of the stolen goods, and
tbeu have been ready at the very first oppor-
1 unity to repeat tne experiment. As it is they
canuot rake the hundred dollars, and will have
to spend a year iu.the chain gang, thus ridding
the city Horn their pranks aud presence for that
space of time.
If Justice Spencer had put a fine of ten dol
lars and cost, it would have been paid, and as
his court is self-sustaining, he would have re
ceived the money, but putting the fine at a sum
entirely beyond the reach ol the parties, he
shows that his only desire is to carry out the
law lor the good of the State and city.

Crop Prospects In Georgia.—It would be
rather premature at this time, to venture an
opinion, as to the prospects of the crops gener
ally in Georgia. Wheat has reached a point, at
which some conjecture may be formed as to the
final result. It now promises very fair, and if it
can run the gauntlet of the frosts in April, and
the rust, we may expect an abundant crop. But
little com has yet been planted, aud the proba-
bility.is, from the late heavy washing rains, it
will have to be planted again. No cotton has
yet been planted in Middle Georgia, and very
little in the lower portions of the State. It is
full early yet to plant cotton and corn and make
good crops. The trouble in the rice and sea
island cotton region is the want of labor. We
learn from our exchanges, that these must evi
dently be short, from the scarcity of labor.—
Many of the finest rice plantations on the Ogee-
chee and Altamaha, says the Savannah Repub
lican, have already been given up, or turned
over to the negroes, which is about the same
thing, la the interior of the State the labor is
far better and more under the control of the
planters, but the complaiut of scarcity of labor
is universal, and as a necessary consequence,
the area of land cultivated will be considerably
less than it was last year. Much of this defi
ciency, however, may be made up, if the seasons
are ^favorable, by the use of fertilizers which
have been bought to an extent that has no par
allel iu the past history of our agriculture. We
have nothing to discourage us in this section of
the country. It is full soon to plant corn or cot
ton, and from the present prospect of the weath
er, we have reason to hope for a favorable sea
son when planting time comes. Even if this is
delayed a little, it gives the planters time to fully
prepare their ground before planting, which is
an important item in the process cf making a
good crop. As to our fruit crop we cannot speak
so encouragingly. Tbe opinion of many, in
different parts of the State is, that the peach
crop is entirely destroyed. Others seem to think
that the disaster is only partial, and without any
blights hereatter, a sufficiency is left for ordinary
consumption. Our own opinion is, that, in our
vicinity, the peach crop will be almost a total
failure. We can only say to our farmers “hope
on, hope even" Keep a stiff upper lip, stir your
ground, distribute your manure, and when ge
nial spring opens upon yon, put in yonr seeds,
woik diligently, work early and late, and in due
time you shall reap yonr recompense of reward
in an abundant harvest.
A New Ordinance.—The following ordi
nance was adopted by tbe City Council at its
meeting on Friday night:
Be it ordained by the Mayor and Council of
the city of Atlanta, that it shall be the duty of
the drivers of carriages, drays and other vehicles,
when meeting other carriages, or other vehicles,
to drive to the right as to permit those meeting
them to pass on their left; and anyperson vio
lating this ordinance, and any injury is done to
the person or property of another by reason
thereof, such person shall, upon conviction, pay
a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars and
costs, or te imprisoned, or compelled to work
on the streets not more than thirty days.
And be it further ordained, That the same
rule shall be observed by pedestrians in passing
persons whom they may meet ou the sidewalk.
This is a move in the right direction. For
some time past, much confusion has existed in
our city, by the manner in which carriages,
drays and other vehicles have been driven
along our s'reets. One who had to travel on
foot could never keep the “ hang ” of things,
and it required the strictest vigilance to keep
from being run over. So with regard to pedes
trians in passing each other on the sidewalks.
Let each one always keep to the right, and there
would be no danger of collisions. We hope this
ordinance will be strictly enforced, and every
one will take due notice thereof and govern
themselves accordingly.
A Few Words of Weight.—“Doyon mean
to say, madam, that he has taken no other med
icine ?”
This question was asked the other day in re
lation to a young man, “the only son of a wid
ow,” who was then rapidly recovering from a
state of absolute prostration, occasioned by
chronic indigestion. It was asked by a friend
of the family of the invalid’s mother, Mrs. Kier-
man, 95 Abingdon Square, New York.
The„medicine referred to was Plantation
Bitters. “1 dG mean to say it,” replied Mrs.
K.; “We had tried twenty other remedies be
fore, without the slightest benefit; but we tried
none afterwards, for the Bitten proved all suffi
cient.”
The lady herself ia the authority for this
statement; and she further states her belief that
the restorative in question is the best tonic and
invigorator ever administered.

The Georgia Debate la the Seaate.
The New York Times' Washington corres
pondent telegraphs to that paper on the 18th
instant, the following which we publish for the
benefit of our readers, as conveying to them in
formation from a source held as ot high au
thority by the Republican party:
“ The debate on the Georgia bill drags its
slow length through the Senate without mnch
apparent prospect that it will be disposed of for
some days to come. The proceedings were so
doll in that branch ot Congress to-day that very
few spectators remained in the galleries, and
the few who were there were in a state of semi-
somnolency. Mr. Stewart endeavored to stave
off the Executive Session by cracking the whip
of the yeas aud nays on the motion, but he was
unsuccessful, and about 34 o’clock the legisla
tive proceedings came to a close. It is now
next to certain that tbe Bingham amendment
will be stricken out, and in this the House will
undoubtedly concur. For this result the Geor
gia rebels have no one to thank but themselves.
In their ebullition of joy they forget decency,
and began again thetr old game ol threats ol
personal violence and attacks on private char
acter.”
One of the hardest things written by Bryant,
is an attack upon John Rice, Esq., a citizen of
Atlanta, and President of the Georgia National
Bank, in which business ostracisms is invoked
against Mr. Rice, because he teels it his duty to
approve and defend the action of Gen. Terry
and the Legislature. Considering that Mr. Rice
has been instrumental in bringing to Georgia, in
himself and bis trk-nda during the past tour
years, not less than $1,000,000 northern capital,
and that he has been one of the largest contrib
utors to the support ot churches and schools, as
well as earnest in the material development ot
the State, this'threat shows how desperate these
factioniets are. The quicker an end is put to
them the better tor Georgia and for the coun
try.
Now, is it not hard, nay, is it not unjust and
tyrannical, that a people, whom the Times' cor
respondent is pleased to term “Georgia rebels"
should be punish i ior the very natural display
of joy which th felt at the passage by the
House, of the Bing :am amendment to Butler’s
Georgia bill, the first aud ouly act of that body
which favored the people ol tbe State in all the
measures of reconstruction enacted by Con
gress ? In future, judging from this taunt Jof
our people, they had better muzzle their mouths,
and require the same of their press.
BY TELEGRAPH.
NEW YORK ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
Editorial Controversy—No Vnlcar Epi
thets.
Two of the leading papers in this State have
recently been engaged in a spirited controversy
—one of them the Macon Telegraph & Messenger,
being a Democratic paper, and recognized as a
party journal; the other the Bavannah Republi
can, an independent journal disavowing party
ties, but nevertheless anti-republican, and acting
with the Democrats in opposition to the recon
struction of Georgia according to the Congres
sional programme. One feature, alone of this
spirited, we might say indeed rather acrimoni
ous, controversy, we design noticing. It is that
thus far “ vulgar epithets ” applied to, and im
putations upon the political integrity of, either
party, have not entered into the controversy.
The example is a good one, and should teach
some other journals iu the State, we care not to
designate, that resort to personal invective is not
necessary in political controversies, and Is in
very bad taste. Even Democrats will differ,
and so will the sworn Judges upon the bench,
and the same counsel for clients; then why may
not the press advocating the same cause?
The spirit which denies this is a most
proscriptive one, and the spirit which re
sorts to personal abuse, defamation aud de
nudation, while the argument is progressing,
or has failed to meet the issue, is a most con
temptible one. In the heated controversy
now progressing between our Savaunah and
Macon cotemporaries, we do not expect to see,
nor have we yet seen, any exhibition of such a
spirit. We were at a Southern Commercial
Convention some years before the war, held in
Montgomery, of which the late distinguished
Ballard Preston, of Virginia, was a member. In
addressing that body, he made reference to a
distinguished Georgian, but not by name. He
was interrupted by a member of the body who
suggested, what we shall term a “nick-name”
for the Georgian. * ! Excuse me, sir,” said the
great Virginia orator, “ I never indulge in vulgar
epithets when speakiDg of a political opponent.”
The gentleman who made the untimely sugges
tion, wilted, tor the first time in his life, we be
lieve, and the Conventon applauded.
April Magazine*.
Leppincott’s.—We have received the April
number ot this very popular magazine. It con
tains several readable sketches in addition to
the serial story by Anthony Trollope, which
continues to increase in interest. Grace Green
wood sketches “Two Old Heads” from her Ital
ian recollections. “A real hero’s” story is told,
bat the ordinary reader will believe that if the
hero’s claims to heroism rested merely on an
insane, though successful, sail down Niagara
Falls, be had a far better claim to a title of fool
hardiness. “How 1 became a Pagan” tells the
story of a gentleman who, believing in the
Westminiater-confession* was led to believe in
Vishnu by the transformation of his wife from
Fanny, of domestic comforts, to Frances, the
distinguished poetess and writer. Mr. Gaylord
Clarke has a paper on Noah Webster, and Mr.
Charles Adams is the author of the “Six Days’
Diary.” This number is quite up to the usual
standard of this magazine.

number of this magazine of literature, science,
art, and national interests. It fully sustains the
reputation it has made as one of the ablest
magazines now published in this country.

To Stop Chinese Immigration Into Cali
fornia.
The following singular expedient has been
resorted to, to stop Chinese immigration into
California, no other seeming likely to stand the
test of the courts and the civil rights law. It is
known that it is a part of the religious creed ol
the Chinese that their ashes must rest iu their
native soil, and every Chinaman who emigrates
receives this stipulation from the company
which sends him out. It is carried out with
great-fidelity. Now, a bill has been introduced
in the California Legislature, and will probably
pass, piohibiting the exhumation and transpor
tation of dead bodies. The bill makes no dis
tinctions, but is unquestionably aimed,at the
Chinese, aDd would affect no other class
seriously. This is very petty legislation to be
sure, but it touches the Chinaman in a very
tender spot, and until he becomes a convert to
Christianity he will never consent that his boDea
shall rest anywhere but in China. The result
will be, if the bill becomes a law, that the
Chinese will avoid California and seek other
States where there are no such liberal restric
tions.

Oslethorpe College-Correction.
Not Literary.—The removal of Oglethorpe
College to Atlanta, hangs fire, because the Gate
City people prefer opera houses, beer gardens,
eta, to science and the halls of learning.—Outh-
bert Appeal.
Hold up, brother Jones. Go it mildly. The
money is raised to bring the college here. You
are wasting ammunition.
We clip the above from the Atlanta Constitu
tion of the 20th. Both wrong, gentlemen. We
should not have noticed what the Appeal says
about opera houses, beer gardens, &c. The peo -
pie of Atlanta cau build colleges, and support
these picayune concerns besides. But the reply
of our cotemporary of the Constitution, in his
excessive zeal iu support of our city, and its
institutions, has led him into an error which
may result injuriously to the interests of this
institution. Our attention was called to this
statement of the Constitution by one of the most
active members of the committee for raising,
by subscription, the necessary amount to secure
the removal of the college to this place. Some
three or four thousand dollars are yet wanted to
complete the amount, and there is no use in our
people ceasing their efforts, because the money
has to be raised, or rfe lose the college.
We are inclined sometimes to indulge a little
in the brag order, merely in the way of amuse
ment, but the remarks of our Atlanta cotempo
rary is like a two-edged sword, while held up
on one side, it cuts down on the other. If “the
zeal of my house” don’t eat me up, the money
will be subscribed, and the location of the Col
lege will be established ia Atlauta. But the
people of Atlauta must kuow that the work is
not yet accomplished, and they must not cease
their efforts until the whole amount is raised.
We set down the College question as settled,
but it may tie unsettled by the indiscreet action
ot some of its friends. Let entry friend of the
institution come forward promptly, aud to the
extent of his ability assist in making up the re •
quired amount.
Look out Atlanta.—Such is the heading of
an article we find in the Tri-Weekly Rome
Courier of the 17lh inst. It seems from this ar -
tide that a man who wished to buy 3ome hard
ware, priced some in Rome, and then went to
Atlanta to purchase. In a day or two he was
back in Rome, and bought in that market $500
worth of goods,, saying that that was the beat
market. We have no reason to doubt the truth
of the above statement, but we venture the opin
ion, that he could have bought the same goods
in Atlanta at the same price he did in Rome.
But a little pride caused him to refuse the goods
in Atlauta and go back to Rome aud buy them
there. We hope our Atlanta hardware mer
chants will never let a man go out of our city
with $500 in his pocket, and make capital for
the merchants of another rival city, such as the
above notice is designed to do.
Death of Col. John G. Park.—We are
pained to learn from the Macon Daily Journal,
that this old and prominent citizen died at his
residence at Indian Springs,on Wednesday even
ing last. Few men in Georgia had a more ex
tensive acquaintance with the people of the
State than Col. Park. He has filled many pub
lic stations; among them, a member of the
Legislature, and for several years Comptroller
General of the State, and editor of the Federal
Union. He was always an active party man,
and belonged to the old line Democracy. He
was unusually popular, and wielded a heavy
influence with his party friends. Many years
ago he retired from public life, and settled at
Indian Springs. He possessed a kind heart,
and was a man of many virtues. But “ he is
gone, and the place which once knew him, shall
know him no more forever.” Peace to his
ashes.
